Today, I was yelled at by my mom for not communicating to the rest of my family about the zoom call SHE planned and asked for. The call was to celebrate my birthday. Apparently, it was my responsibility to coordinate it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got yelled at by my mom for not being surprised enough at my surprise birthday party. She'd told me about it while drunk the night before. 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, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… FML
Today, my manipulative mother got upset and started ignoring me. All because she lectured me about doing too much for other people, then proceeded to tell me all her problems, and I actually took her advice. Other people's problems are not my responsibility to fix. FML
Today, my mom and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, my mom screamed at me to the point of tears, because it rained on her birthday. FML
Today, my mom left for a business trip. Thinking it was a good time to throw a party, I mass messaged everyone on my contact list. I thought it was going to be a success. The problem with this? My mom is on my contacts list. She replied "I'll be home in an hour. You're grounded." FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML

"Okay everyone, mom wants me to get all of you together on Zoom so you can wish me a happy birthday. No, I'm not trying to guilt-trip you."

Sounds like the time my dad forgot the password he made for a computer and yelled at me for not writing down his password. It apparently didn't occur to him to write it down himself because he planned on eventually giving me the computer so it was "my password" even though I had no input on it and hadn't used the computer.

Not all old people can handle Zoom! At least she didn't forget your birthday, am I right?

We founded the Internet. You children just hold a kiosk (phone), you have no idea what the Internet is.

Hey, I started programming on punch cards with BASIC and FORTRAN. I'm not a "you children."
