Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, it's my twenty first birthday. My biggest birthday surprise was discovering that I'm alcohol intolerant, by vomiting my first beer all over my boyfriend's mother. FML
Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML

Go out and buy yourself some alcohol, get yourself completely wasted, and you won't even remember that they forgot.

Maybe they were just playing a practical joke on you ...

That's because they actually drank all the alcoholic stuff and replaced it with cordial. Because no one wastes money on non-alcoholic beer...

Yes, just like the call girl dad's getting you, who will turn out to be a transvestite. This will prepare you for when you turn 21 as well.

Leave your parents alone, it's not their fault that they are getting old.

OP was born in 1990. The average age for having children is about 25, give or take a few years. That means OPs parents are about 46, which is not old enough to be forgetting things because of age. So OP's parents are dicks who can't remember how old their son/daughter is.

Maybe OP has a big family, so it's hard for their parent's to remember their birthdays. I would know what that's like because I have a huge family.

Maybe your parents really did buy you a case of alcoholic-beer but drank it on the way and that non-alcoholic beer is the only thing they could find In short notice
