Today, I was asked by my mom if I could have a joint birthday party with her dog, because it would be the dog's "Big 1-0." She was completely serious. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was supposed to be studying for an important exam. My parents decided to make me go to a surprise birthday party instead. We weren't allowed to leave until the party was over. The party was for the dog. FML
MVP
Today, it was my birthday. My mom didn't buy me a present, throw a party, or acknowledge the event in any way. Last week it was our dog's birthday, which included a party for all the neighbourhood dogs, and a cake for our dog, made out of bacon. FML
Slippery slope
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, my mom showed up completely hammered to a party I was throwing. The party was to celebrate the ten years that I've been sober. FML
Today, it's my birthday. When I asked my mom if we were gonna do anything special for my birthday. She said, "Don't lie to me. It's not your birthday." FML
Today, my parents told me they were going out for dinner tonight. I jokingly responded, "Sweet! I am totally having a keg party then!" My dad responded, "Keg parties are only for kids who have friends." He was serious. FML
Birthday gift
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to bring my obnoxious ex to my birthday party. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could go to a friend's birthday. She said no, claiming I had been to too many this year already. I'd only been to one. It was my own. FML
You hypocrite
Today, my mother lectured me about going to the bar too often. She did this while rolling a joint. FML
Today, I had a surprise birthday party for my mom who turned 57. About an hour into the party, I look over at my mom and she was grinding all over my best friend while holding a bottle of tequila in her hand, and a pair of leopard skin panties hanging out of her pants. FML

Tell her you want your own party and she's stupid for valuing a dog over her daughter!

Oh, I'm sorry, would you prefer FML was filled with stories of rape, and murder, and absolute hell, stories of such horrible, horrible lives, that you'd be depressed for hours after reading them?

people who are saying double the cake, I bet you didn't know they made cakes for dogs and cats to... Plus, a lot of people like to celebrate thier birthdays. I threw a huge fit when my parents made me go to a tae kwon do testing instead of celebrating my birthday. I got to go to seaworld as an apology though!

you sound like a spoiled little brat. also since it was a TEST, you can see why you were made to go. most of my friends have exams on their birthdays, but the most any one of them has done was remark 'aw but that's my birthday'. you can live without celebrating your birthday. i've had ONE birthday party in my life when i was three years old. i had no idea what was even happening. i've never celebrated my birthday since then, but i'm still a happy person :l

You have a terrible mother. Who the hell even celebrates a dogs birthday, let alone tries to usurp their kids' birthday to do it?

omg. Seriously, get over yourself. Obviously this just goes to prove that your mum loves her dog. I am sick of FMLs that are submitted by whiney teenage girls that have obviously just discovered this site. There are far worse things that could happen to you than having to share your birthday party. Some people can't even afford to have birthday parties. Toughen up, princess.

this isn't an FML because she has to share her birthday with someone else. it's an FML because her mom's crazy. how stupid is everyone here? very.

What is the big deal? Unless you don't like your dog, I don't see what's wrong to share your special day with your pet that you adore.

I share my birthday with my niece and love it. My niece was actually 2 weeks late (according to my sister it was my doing, lol) but when we found out the due date I predicted she would be born on my birthday. I was so excited when she was born, it made my birthday extra special. Just ask your mom to get a separate cake (like carob) for the dog. No biggie. You'll have one every year for the rest of your life, this is just one.
