Today, I woke up to find my parents singing "Happy birthday" with lots of hugs and kisses. My birthday is next week. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Happy Birthday baby!
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML

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

A for Effort, but…
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, my parents forgot it was my birthday. They ordered me to scrub the common bathroom, and when I asked if they'd remembered, my dad's reaction was, "Oh! Really?" My mom's was, "I thought that it was next week." What lovely parents I have. FML

You're welcome!
Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… 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

Happy nothing, then
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

Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML

Today, it was my birthday, and my kids gave me my car keys I had "lost" a week ago. FML

At least they care enough to sing to you, even if they got the date a little wrong. Still, FYL, because well, if your parents can't remember your birthday, then who can, really?

Use this to your advantage, after they celebrate and give you present tell them it's next week and make them celebrate it again

Eh. I called my dad this year to tell him my birthday was coming up, because I knew he'd forget. He told me that he knew it was soon because his sister's was on the 9th and mine was a week later. MINE was on the 9th. It's not that big of a deal. Some people suck at dates.

Exactly! I hate people that complain about stuff that's not FML, but their FMLs still go through even though others that were a lot worse don't make it. Example: Today is my birthday and my parents forgot. Again. FML I entered this a couple months ago, but it never went through.

Well, atleast they did something, even if it was on the wrong date.
