Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. I'm a pastry chef by profession. Not only did my family buy a cake from my bakery, I had to make it myself and inscribe it with 'Happy Birthday Dad'. The worst part is, they asked money from me to pay for it. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, it was my birthday. The only person who remembered was my dad who got me a phone charger for my car, which I didn't even need because he got me the same exact thing last year. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family. While they were singing Happy Birthday to me, my mother called me by my brother's name. When I blew out the candles a moment later, I joked, "I wish my mother could remember which son I am." Before we had even started eating the cake, she called me by my father's name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You've got to be joking. This is probably one of the most sincere FMLs on here. First you probably have all the upset of the divorce (death?) then the new step-mother, perhaps the step-mother moving in if you still live at home, and THEN this. Not to mention this FML shows OP probably has a terrible farther AND step-mother. So yeah, boo hoo.

my dad used to always pic his gf over me all the time. she is(notice I didn't put was) a gold digging lazy ass bitch. she then left my dad for this guy, got married(and divorced) to him, and it turned out that the baby wasn't my dad's. can u say karma much??

when ur stepmom is blowing out the candle throw the cake in her face

I'm thinking the stepmom has been blowing Op's dad's "candle" to get such special birthday treatment over his own son.

maybe he's dumbass as well as a dick

Maybe the tape wasn't see through and the dad used it to cover up his son's name.

post it glue doesn't hold very well and if the banner is cloth it won't stick at all...
