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

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

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.

Damn, why is everyone being so rude about it? It's not too much to ask for your father to remember your birthday, whatever year it happens to be.

Quit bitching. Be glad someone cares enough to throw you parties. After my 11th birthday, my parents told me I'm too old to be celebrating birthdays.

I mean really, stop inventing drama. She threw you a goddamn party and made an honest mistake. Woe is you, nobody understands you, you hate the world, and all that shit. Get over yourself.

I think I should spell it out for the stupid people who say this isn't an FML. It's been said before, but maybe I'll say it again. The girlfriend has somewhat of an excuse to get the birthday wrong because she's getting to know her or whatever. It's an FML because her FATHER does not remember her correct age. Does that need more explaining or are people gonna continue to whine saying it's no big deal? Right. And as others were saying, you only turn into a teen once.

I don't think she's complaining about the party being messed up. She's upset because her own FATHER forgot his daughter's birthday. And yes, 13 is a very important year. And there is a big difference in turning 13 from 12. It's sad to see that so many people on this site automatically assume the worst in people and just want to criticize them.

There's no difference. Stop deluding yourself. Just because someone cares a lot (e.g. the psycho OP) doesn't mean their obsession is justified.

Completely unnecessary to jump down OP's throat for this. I mean really, I'm shocked FML hasn't been shut down yet since apparently, none of the posts are ever FMLs. Anyway, OP, at least she put in some sort of effort. Yeah, you'd kind of expect someone who cares enough to throw you a party to also care enough to know what age you are, but this might be something you look back at in a few years and laugh about.
