Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML
Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, my mom screamed at me to the point of tears, because it rained on her birthday. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Today, I was at a job interview when my phone started ringing. It was my mom, so I quickly hit "Ignore", which was probably for the best since she was obviously drunk. She left a voicemail in which she sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It's not my birthday. FML
Today, my mom had been in a really bad mood. She got in the car to take me to work, and without thinking, started backing up. The garage door was only half open, and now has a huge dent in it. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is when you bake a big cake and tell her you were only pretending to forget. You can recover!

wow, you're an ass. How do you not know your own mother's birthday?

Maybe he/she forgot because his/her mom is a bitch or the mother never makes a big deal of her birthday. That's how my parents are, all they do is go out to eat with each other. I wish the only thing that happened on my birthday was just presents but nooooooooooo, we have to have a stupid party.

yeah I agree with #5 she should remember her own mother's birthday. even if her mum was a bitch, she should still be able to remember, or at least know it was around then, or something.

Do what the others suggest, bake a cake, get her flowers or a gift & surprise her when she gets home. If you literally rolled out of bed & drove her to work, it's understandable that you'd be out of it for a while. You can still make up for it!

It's the same way with the phone. After the 5th time I called, he FINALLY answers the phone. After I said hello, he started yelling at me about how "it was upstairs and he didn't hear it, so I should get off of his back." And yet I forget ONE time and "you need to have it with you ALWAYS. It's for communication. What if we took the phone/computer etc. away? Would that finally teach you to be more responsible?" ...dick.

most FMLs are about the parents forgetting the kids birthday. this one is the oposite.

You need Facebook to remember your mom's birthday? You're a horrible daughter!

I really don't understand any of these responses. People forget birthdays. Big deal. On my birthday, I certainly don't expect the world to revolve around me. I just asked a friend what he'd do if someone forgot his, and he said, "I'd probably forget my own birthday."

I'd be relieved...to be quite honest. All of this "aww happy birthday! How old are you? Really? Wow that's old! lol jk. Open my present first! Let's go bowling!" bullshit makes me sick...

The horrible daughter part was more ironic, it isn't that big of a deal, it's more the fact that she uses Facebook and remembers things like that not because of the calendar, not because of the mobile phone, not because of the family/friends but because of some random website that can crush down anytime.
