Today, some of my classmates brought cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. I took the leftovers with me after class, and when my mom picked me up from school, she asked, "What are the cupcakes for?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I brought a cupcake to school for my friend's birthday. After taking one bite, she exclaimed that it was the worst thing she had ever tasted and that we should sue the store that I bought it from. I baked it myself. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom saying, "I heard the cupcake store got robbed. Where are you?" Then she texted back, "Oh never mind, they wanted money, not cupcakes. It wasn't you." Very funny, Mom. FML
Today, my mom baked cupcakes for my visiting grandparents. Later, I saw my grandpa chowing down on them. Even later, my mom demanded to know why there were a dozen cupcake wrappers on my bed. I've essentially been framed by my own grandpa, and am now grounded for a month. FML
Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. FML
Today, I realized that the only time I've ever been noticed by my classmates is when I brought cake for the potluck. FML
Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML
Today, I bought a cheap cake topper online for my sister's birthday. It arrived with the words “Happy Birthday Mom.” I covered “Mom” with icing and thought nobody would notice. My sister's first comment was, “Why does my cake call me Mom?” FML
Today, I brought some cupcakes to my class for my birthday, like all the cool kids do. When it came time to sing happy birthday, the entire class said "happy birthday to" then forgot my name. Except my teacher. She said Steve. My name's Jeff. FML
Today, my boyfriend said he felt like eating icing. So I baked him cupcakes, put icing on them and decorated them. When I handed them to him, he picked off the decoration, licked the icing and handed the cupcake back to me, saying, "I told you that's all I wanted." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know! what if it was like Today, some of my classmates brought cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. I took the leftovers with me after class, and when my mom picked me up from school, she asked, "What are the cupcakes for?" I said my friends brought then for my birthday and she said, "I know it's your birthday, I just thought no one cared." FML. Also, would you rather have your mom be the only one who cared or the only one who didn't?

Moms have a lot of stuff on their minds, get over it. Perhaps she's planning a surprise birthday party for you? You never know.

How old are you OP? If the answer is 12+ you shouldn't whine about it.

What if OP is a different heritage than you? Some people really value birthdays.

Well, his mother obviously isn't one of them.

a mother should always remember their child's birthday...no matter how old they are because they are still her child. if a mother truly has the love for her child like any other mother I'm pretty sure that they would remember the birthday.

#11 The problem isn't in the cupcakes. The FML comes from the mother forgeting her child's birthday.

#13, you are the reason why people kill themselves. You need to learn how to read. What #11 was saying is that it was stupid for OP to assume that his mother had forgotten his birthday just because she didn't know why he was holding a few cupcakes. There is a VERY large chance that she did not forget his birthday and that OP is just a whiny little brat who needs to stop making idiotic and immature assumptions.

That's not bad. One year the ony present I got from my dad was a list of chores he wanted me to do.
