Macabre date

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to go to a birthday party for 10 year-old triplets. They've all been dead for more than 9 years. FML

my friends parents invite us all over for their daughters birthday to hang out and remember her, when she died 7 years ago, they do it every year.

this is a horrible FML. respect the babies parents you jerk. what if you lost your kids before they even turned 1? think about it. I couldn't imagine the pain they are going through. grow up!

i agree with neverletgo. you dumb bitch, have some respect.

That's just creepy. While the loss of those 3 kids is a terrible & heartbreaking thing, the grieving process is a nit extreme. Oh, and to all the over-sensitive retards treating the OP like a monster, I have a question - IF the way they coped with their loss consisted of the parents carrying around pictures of the deceased kids in their coffins & speaking to these photos as if they were living, breathing children ( ex. " I said go to your room, your grounded until further notice !!!") ... do we still simply "sigh" and say "Oh, we'll their grieving ..." as an excuse & ignore the fact that these people need psychological help to get through this ?

you're an ass. these are someones kids! if anything happened to my son I'd do the same thing. you can just politely refuse but don't be a douche about it.

The fact is THEY are CRAZY TRUE 5150's Where was the party? The graveyard ! WAS it OK to DANCE on the GRAVE in this case Was it a KIDS PARTY? Its OKAY for people to remember there loved ones and get together for such a things but to have a PARTY FOR CHILDREN GONE 9 YEARS IS TOO MUCH Call me what you want and say what you will JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE READING THIS TOO SO STOP JUDGING PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW!!!!!!! you might be a 5150 too!!! P.S. I LIVE IN A CITY THAT CELEBRATES DEATH! JAZZ FUNERALS, SECOND LINES AND PARTIES but not every year the healing process needs to start

It's not disrespectful, people. If the parents of the triplets want to have a memorial, then let them. However, it should be something done in private, without guilting others into coming. It is terrible to lose a child, but counceling may be needed for the parents. This is taking it a bit far...

you are a horrible person that's not even a fml it's actully sad and you should be respectful and at that u should be glad that they even invited you to go !!!!!

#123... What fml were you reading? Because it sure as hell is not this one

my cousin died a half hour after she was born cuz she had only a half heart she wuld have been 20 and her parents still arent over it....

until you all have lost somebody important to you, don't judge others and how they deal with such a loss. it's a very sensitive situation. I still write letters to my dead brother all the time, and that's the way I deal with his death.

mkay, the OP never said anything disrespectful. they just stated what happened. so stop attacking them. if you disagree with something some one else commented, take it up with them, not the OP. i understand you do not ever fully get over a death, believe me, but the pain wouldnt still be this extreme after nine years unless they were refusing to move on. i lost the aunt who raised me from birth, she was like a mother to me. on her birthday ill remember her and sometimes go through all her old stuff that we have boxed up, but a party is out of the question. and it doesnt matter if youre related or not, you shouldnt have to be dragged into this uncomfortable situation, do you let them continue to live in this pain or help them come to terms? if no one ever moved on from a death what kind of world would it be? anyone who feels the need to attack the OP is going to the extreme and needs to stop and think. im sure the OP never said anything disrespectful or mean while they were there. they never said anything heartless on here. they simply pointed out that this was an uncomfortable situation. they never said their life was worse than the parents so dont complain about how its f the parents life. they said why its f their life too. im sure if you lose three children its more than just an understatement of saying fml so do you think its really respectful to defend them on this sight, like what YOU think matters to THEM and say its f the parents life? this has nothing to do with how the parents feel so stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill so you can act self righteous. frick, people like some of these commentors: daltyboy, simsimma88 to name a few, get over it.

btw- you kinda ARE forced to go to things like that. how can you say, "no, i dont want to do anything in memory of your dead triplets." so to those who ssaid they could have said no, its more disrespectful to say no.
