Just ignore it!
Today, trying to be nice, I sent a text to my mother-in-law saying that I couldn't wait to have her delicious casserole tonight. Only after sending, I realized that "casserole" had auto corrected to "asshole". FML

Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent out the invitations she made for my wedding. On them, it says "You are invited to this 'special' event". In the same way, I'm referred to as "special", and my name is misspelled. Hint taken, you bitch. FML

Oh, by the way…
Today, I received a "Happy Birthday" text from my ex. I thought maybe she missed me, but when I replied with a polite, "Thank you," they responded with "Sorry, wrong person. However, fuck you." Ouch. Happy birthday to me, indeed. FML

Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML

Today, my mother in law accidentally cc'd me on an email she was sending to my husband, telling him that his youth is fleeting and that he should leave me while he still has time. FML

Or so you thought…
Today, my mom called me by the wrong name. This isn't the first time. It wouldn't be so bad, except I'm her only kid. FML

I get it. I'm guessing your name is something like "Jennifer" and she misspelled it as "Get the **** out of my precious boy's life, you *****!" That's how autocorrect works on mother-in-law phones.

Remember OP... two can play that game... Get your sweet revenge by doing the same thing, only go up 5 levels. But keep it in a classy humorous level ;)

OP, at least she's thinking of you ... and in a positive way, too! :-)

Or just passive-aggresively telling OP that she doesn't like OP.

Lame!! She probably texted the wrong person. Plus who cares. Stupid FML

Classic passive-aggressive MIL move!

Maybe she was drunk? Either way, nice gesture and you should've thanked her.

Maybe she has a friend with a similar name like yours that actually did have a birthday and she misclicked in her contacts list.

Host a funeral themed birthday party for her next birthday.
