Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML
Today, I found out I can't go to my best friend's birthday party. To cheer me up, my parents decided to take me and my brother to my favorite pizzeria for dinner. When I was ready and went downstairs, I discovered they left already. They forgot me. FML
Today, I begged my parents not to take me to a restaurant for my birthday, but sure enough, they took me to one, along with my siblings, aunts, uncles, you name it. Ordering with them is a nightmare, so after a whole half-hour the waiter still hadn’t gotten everyone’s complicated orders written down. FML
Today, I walked into a restaurant with my parents to celebrate my Mom's birthday. They immediately got a kid's menu and crayons out for me. I'm 15. FML
Today, my family took me to a steak house. I went for an eight minute bathroom break, coming back to an empty table. They ordered dessert, and left me the bill. I'm a vegetarian, and it's my birthday. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. 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 family tradition is that whoever has the birthday chooses the dinner. I chose pizza, but my older sister had a tantrum, complete with throwing my phone at the wall, breaking it, saying she wanted Chinese instead. My parents ordered Chinese. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML

Happy birthday, birthday twin! :) Don't feel too bad. My dad totally forgot it was mine and felt horrible when my mom had to call and remind him!

At least you got something. Two birthdays in a row my dad cancelled my birthday and only on one of those did I get food. But it was left overs from my brother's meal at Denny's.

I would've just gone out and spent their money like water! Anyway, happy birthday, OP! Hope all your birthdays only get better from here :)

The less you expect, the less disappointed you'll be.

Hey OP. Try not to feel too bad about your gift and birthday and not being the favorite. Now you have a year to make plans for your next birthday and try to save money throughout the year in case you want to go out with friends. If your family doesn't celebrate your birthday, you can celebrate yourself along with friends and maybe other family members.

And a reminder to OP and everyone else here who has a Denny's restaurant nearby. When it's your birthday and your family and friends forgot or didn't make plans to celebrate with you, go to a Denny's restaurant with a non expired I.D. and tell them it's your birthday and you get a free breakfast meal.(I live in the U.S. I hope they offer something similar in other countries)
