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.

they're technically not 10 years old, as their bodies froze at 1 year if they died then.

do you mean like a family gathering to remember them or like full on party with hats an cake... cos I'd say the first was perfectly acceptable and ,if you think that is an fml having to attend, imagine how the parents are feeling.

Irregardless, IMO, this was a rude and disrespectful FML. It does not impact the OP's life at all. // All parents grieve differently, and to visit the children each year is a sign of respect/acknowledgement. This couple didn't lose just one of three. They lost ALL three within the year. Show a little courtesy.

no, I agree with the OP. The parents are more than welcome to continue grieving for their children (I would never suggest they should "get over it", but they should not make others feel obliged to come along to such things as birthday parties. The OP said they "had" to go - perhaps it was a family member or a friend who guilted them into coming. That's wrong of the parents, especially ten years later. "Showing a little courtesy" would be taking the parents cooked meals in the weeks after the babies died, and attending the funeral. Not being obliged to attend birthday parties ten years later. Yes, it is horrible for their parents that their children are not coming back. But it's wrong of them to continue forcing it onto their friends and family after ten years. I have a friend whose twins died in the hours before they were born. Five years later she still grieves for them but she does not force her friends to grieve or remember them (even though they do), let alone make people attend a birthday party.

irregardless isnt a word, and if it was, itd mean the opposite of regardless, which would make no sense in your context..
