Today, my dad's girlfriend threw me a birthday party and all the gifts, decorations, and the cake were according to my age, which they thought was 12. I turned 13 today. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML
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
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's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, my family threw me a surprise party for my 29th Birthday. My brother-in-law sent me a text telling me they were all waiting for me to arrive. Thinking it was at my sister's home, I drove two hours there. It was actually at my parents' house. I missed my party and they ate my cake. FML
Today, I finally told my dad that I hate his girlfriend. I said her daughter's a complete whore, and her son is annoying as fuck. Turns out they were in the house and within earshot, ready to throw me a birthday party. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad showed up to my birthday dinner wasted, was loud and obnoxious the whole time, sexually harassed our waitress, then invited my annoying, bratty nephews to come home and spend the night with us. They're sleeping in my room. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I threw myself a surprise party. FML
Today, is my birthday. Everyone forgot except my stalker. He rang the door bell the second it turned 12:00. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If your dad's girlfriend is like 35 or whatever.. get her a 40 year old balloon on her next birthday :P She won't be happy either.

Aww, that sucks. Congrats and happy birthday! And congratulations on being 13 and typing more coherently than most of the older crowd.

Big freakin' woop-dee-doo. It's so horrible they got your age wrong by one year. You WERE 12, get over it. Either way you're at that age where you think everything is about, and guess what, it isn't. How the hell did this not get rejected.

From personal experience, step-mothers and father's girlfriends purposefully mess up your birthdays so you don't spend any time with your father and they can have him all to herself. I would have told the **** that you are 13 and not 12 right in front of everyone so she feels really stupid.

this does not deserve to be a FML be grateful she had the decency to throw you a party not whiny about her being off by a year if this is really how you define your life as f@wked up i wonder what it means when your life is a living hell

ummm they are probably grateful for the party they were thrown, the fml is that his dad doesnt even know how old he is.. his own dad.. that is sad.

Stop attacking the poor guy.. The FML below is someone who got woken up by a car alarm, he said FML but he isn't really saying that his life is fukd up. Most kids get excited about becoming a teenager (i know i was) and the maturity that came with that. Having a parent/step-parent/parent's partner get that wrong kind of diminishes that you are going to be treated as a teenager rather than a child. And I really doubt a 13 year old male would run out of a room crying because of the silly woman, my guess would be that he laughed it off.

So she was off by a year. So what?!

I think it is more the fact that her Dad didn't point out to his girlfriend that she is turning 13, and obviously doesn't know how old his daughter is.
