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.
Same thing different taste
Close to me
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Life is a roller coaster
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
Sweet Sixteen
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
The truth
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
Better luck next year
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.

ah crap, 13 year olds on FML? Great parenting letting your 13 year old on the net without monitoring. What the crap are you doing on this site!!!

Obviously the OP doesn't have the best parents when her dad doesn't even know how old she is.

Okay, I know I posted earlier but OP, it is a big deal turning thirteen. I would've slapped her and said I'm 13 bitch!!! That's okay, for my twelfth brithday my parents made me go to a tae kwon do testing instead of letting me stay home and celebrate. I still hold it over thier heads. Yeah, I did get to go to the wild animal park but I wanted to go ON my birthday, not three days later. I can only remember having one awesome birthday party and that was my tenth. People out there, he's saying his own father forgot how old he was. How would you like it if your parents forgot how old you were? I know I would've started screaming.

Wow, you sound totally mature. It's not all that surprising that your parents didn't want to be with you on your birthday. OP: Quit whining. I know it sucks that your dad forgot your age, but you got a party and they obviously care about you enough to do that. It's just a day, you'll have more birthdays.

Your parents bought you tae kwon do lessons? Excuse me while I don't feel sorry for you. And they took you to an animal park? Where do you get off complaining about them not catering to your petty little schedule? Good lord, you have no idea how quickly I would have gotten nothing for my birthday had I been a whiny little brat about what I received, and rightfully so. And your cocky claim that you would slap your father's girlfriend across the face and call her a bitch? I don't believe you for one second. It's mind-boggling to think of how disrespectful that would be when she went through the effort to plan your party, and just made an honest mistake. The party wasn't ruined, all they had to do was laugh about the mistake and move on with it. My parents have thought that I was the wrong age on many occasions. It happens. I understand their explanation that they will always think of me as their child, and it's hard to believe that so much time has gone by since I was born. To start screaming at them would be... well, like something a toddler would do. A spoiled toddler, at that.

Seriously, is this person joking? Or ar they actually the world's most spoilt person? I once saw a clip from that show 'My Super Sweet Sixteen.' This mom got her daughter a really expensive sports car, and when she showed it to her, the girl started having a fit, complaining she didn't want any presents until her party, and yelling that her mom had 'ruined her birthday.' ...was that you?

Oh, dude, #169, that one might've been the one I was watching with my cousins (all girls) in their basement. It was a like a S500-some Mercedes, like one that cost 120k+ (I went car-shopping with my parents, who went to a Maybach-Benz dealer). Conveniently, it was a ******* marathon, and one of the girls seriously started crying and screaming because she couldn't get pink roses as the centerpiece at the tables. Basically what I'm trying to say is that it's not a big deal. Reply with "YES IT IS!!!" after I share this. How about the next birthday, instead of planning a party at all, the OP's dad's girlfriend gets drunk, and starts beating her to a bloody pulp. Or, between now and then, the OP suddenly get's Stage IV cancer, and she has 2 months to live. Or, if instead of being born into a family that can afford a party, she's born in Somalia, where her parents are infected with AIDS and have a life expectancy of 40, where she has 6 brothers and sisters, no money, no house, no food, and there's a dudes killing each other all up and down the streets. ******* perspective.

You're an idiot. The only birthdays worth caring about are your 16th ( for girls at least), 18th, and 21st. But congratulations for officially becoming a teenager and falling right into the whiney little girl category. Have fun hanging outside of movie theaters and wandering around malls in packs.
