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.

poor baby, i'm so sorry. because all of the kids in third world countries who don't get birthday parties are less important than your parents throwing you a party, but not with the right age.

I think his point is that her/his father did not know her/his age. The girlfriend got the info from the Dad. I think the Dad should know his kid's age. Hey Mr./Ms. 13, sometimes Dad's don't keep up with that kind of stuff, and they have a hard time remembering how much time has passed.

Most of you are being ridiculous. There are loads of children way younger than 13 who understand what people say on this website and I'm pretty sure they're more mature than most of you. The point is that her own dad did not correct his girlfriend which I think would be the best thing to do. I understand that's it's nice that she cares but it heartbreaking to know that nobody cares enough to know how old you are. And it DOES matter when you are that young. No matter how old you are everybody deserves to have family and friends in their life who actually know how old you are!

it's the thought that counts, you ungrateful little shent! seriously, you'll probably laugh about this at your 14th birthday party, so it's in no way life *******.

People under 18 shouldn't use FML. My dad forgets my age all the time. One time he thought I was seven instead of eight. Whoop-dee-*******-doo. I don't complain about it.

OP, I'm sorry this happened to you. Their intentions were good. It's clear they care about you, but made an error. This year you should resolve to spend more time with your dad and his girlfriend so you can all get to know each other better. If you are unable to spend time with them, at least try to communicate with them more frequently. If you do spend a lot of time with them and have been saying excitedly for the last month "I turn thirteen next month. How do you think things will be different when I'm thirteen?", then I am doubly sorry this happened to you.

yeah i know that's harsh.. but look at it like this, they tried to give you an amazing birthday and that's all that should matter. I turn 21 in a couple of days and i'm getting sod all. and whatever i am getting i've had to go out and buy myself because i wouldnt get otherwise.. just count yourself lucky.
