Today, I heard my dad complaining that he won't be able to go to a concert, because it's happening on my birthday. This is the first time he's even acknowledged my birthday in over ten years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm mad at my dad for forgetting it's my birthday. He's mad at me for not reminding him. FML
Today, I asked my dad what his plans for Friday were. Apparently, he's going to a concert with my step-mom all evening. It's been their plan for months. Friday is my birthday. That's been set since the day I was born. FML
Today, my dad has gone to two different relatives’ weddings in two different states this month alone. I also found out about his big birthday celebration, his BBQ and his trip to Vegas. I saw it all on Facebook. I’ve not been invited to anything, and he never visits me. I live an hour away. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My father didn't get me a birthday present or do anything for me, and acted as though he only came to visit because it was expected. Yet when it was his birthday a couple months ago, he expected me to take him out and pay for it FML
Today, my brother mentioned my dad's birthday party. I said, "What party?" He said, "Shit, forgot I wasn't supposed to tell you." My own father doesn't want me at his party. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I had an appointment at the dentist and went to do some shopping after that. A while after I got home, I met my dad and he just started complaining that I didn't spend any time with them on my birthday. When I tried to explain to him, he just got angry at me and started yelling. FML
Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, I received a short happy birthday message from my father. He’s never been one to show affection, and I haven’t spoken to him in months since he only reaches out to ask for money. This might have given me hope that he cares or wants a relationship with me. Except… it’s not my birthday, and I don’t think he knows that. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just ask him to take you with him! Might be the first birthday present you get from him.

At least he's acknowledging it? Although it'd be better to ignore it than complain about it in my opinion

OP, you should just tell your dad to go to the concert anyways. If he's spent 10 years ignoring your birthday, why is he suddenly acting like he cares now? Might sound bitter, but that's what I say if it were my dad.

Doesn't make it suck less in my opinion. I'd hate to be OP.

The dad IS complaining about it, hence the FML.

Hence why I said it'd be better if he ignored it than complain about it

He's showing some interest, but he could have at least even more considerate about what he said, maybe he could have taken you along.

You act like I care what any of you think I don't! I love my life and everything about it! So have fun with your lonely lives

lmfao jrock9093, life must be tough when you're an overly emotional and insecure man.

This thread is baffling, as 5's original comment made perfect sense, then he dug himself into a hole.

At least he remembered your birthday this time! And hey, why not go to that concert with him? It could be fun.

What a selfish prick. Make him bring you along!

Maybe not. You never know, could have been a Britney Spears concert, and lord knows no one wants to go to those.

Britney Spears is a really great performer. I'm not really a big pop fan but her concerts are worth the money compared to some of the younger pop artists.

I'd love to see Britney Spears. She's been on the rebound since her rebellion stage.

Make him feel bad for missing your birthday for the millionth time

Just tell him to go to the concert. More likely than not he's gonna be a mood killer durning your birthday party.
