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 got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML

Today, my mother bitched me out for not coming to my sister's birthday tomorrow. She's 25 and lives at home, and she, my mother, and father all have Covid. FML

Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML

Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

Today, I got a picture message from my aunt that said, "9 out of 10 kids get their awesomeness from their aunt." Normally, I would have agreed, except she forgot my birthday yesterday. FML

What the? What'd she say when you corrected her? But I guess sometimes people get confused between children. My parents call my sisters by the others name sometimes.

Maybe she meant to text your sister and sent into you instead? It happens - just Google 'autocorrect fails' for some really embarrassing examples...

Umh that's sad, I'm sorry OP. I know and understand that parents sometimes unintentionally confuse us with our siblings and call us by different names. My mom called me by our dog's name couple of times already but I understand that they just have different things on their minds. On the other hand, confusing birthdays is kind of weird. It's not a momentary thing, she probably knew about it for days or weeks before and it's really weird for a mom to forget her child's birthday. Don't feel too bad about it though, I bet (hope) she still loves you and was sorry afterwards.

Dogs are more important, parents make a conscious decision to get them 100% of them time, unlike kids. ;)

Today, I discovered my girlfriend stealing from my bank account. She thought she was smart by disguising her transfers as 'GAS BILL' or 'NETFLIX BILL'. Um, Netflix doesn’t cost £100 a month, and BILL is spelt with two Ls, not three. Reported for fraud; got my money back; single again. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were in our room getting hot and heavy. As he was entering me, he started making electronic whirring sounds. Once inside, he said in a robotic voice, "Initiating launch sequence in 3... 2... 1..." and began thrusting as fast as possible. FML
