Today, I was woken up by my family surrounding me with breakfast in bed and "Sweet 16" balloons. My birthday is in 3 months, and I'll be 17. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my 18th birthday. Last month was my best friend's 18th birthday. She spent the night with me, and the next morning, my mom and brother gathered in my room and sang "Happy Birthday" as they handed her pancakes with a candle on top. Today, I was woken up by screams to take the trash out. FML
Today, I woke up to find my parents singing "Happy birthday" with lots of hugs and kisses. My birthday is next week. FML
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, I woke up to balloons, streamers, and my roommates yelling “SURPRISE!” Unfortunately, they got the wrong day. My birthday is next week, and now I'll probably have to pretend to be surprised again in seven days. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. It's also it is the day my parents scheduled my wisdom teeth to be pulled out. Happy birthday to me, then. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My family put a bouquet of balloons outside my room for me to find when I woke up. I walked out of my room, saw the balloons, screamed, and fell down the stairs. FML
Today, it was my 17th birthday. My mom forgot and my best friend is out of town. The highlight of my day? The guy at McDonald's slipped an extra apple pie in my bag. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You'd think your mom would remember the day you were pushed painfully out her genitals... I guess not. FYL anyways

haha thats funny. sucks that they dont know when your birthday is. you should take advantage of this, make it a fun day all about you since its your birthday. then at the end of the day let them know they had the wrong day.

Who cares? They messed up but they also went through the trouble. Last year, 3 months after my birthday my dad saw an old Birthday Card on our kitchen table addressed to me, freaked out, handed me $100 and said happy birthday. . Instead of getting angry I gave him back his $100 [not that kinda guy], laughed a little and explained to him I wasn't born in October. . .We had a good laugh, it was funny.

Have you heard about the starving children in Africa that die every day because they don't have food or water, I bet they would like birthday presents and breakfast.

Yeah blah blah. You can use the dying children in Africa argument on any FML. Life just isn't fair, mkay?
