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.

Perhaps a memorial would be a better way of describing it...

Yes but at one point OP decided to post this FML, so it is disrespectful. Because it's disrespectful to complain when YOU're not the one who has lost three children.

Careful, 14, the FML Police will come after you for saying that a post isn't an FML. Happened to me twice already.. But anyway.. I'm just speechless at this FML.. I had to read it twice to take in what it actually said.. wow.. just wow

He obviously meant it in the sense "so they were 1..." not "so ALL three of then were 1...?!"

It's not like triplets all drop dead at the same time. This is more than likely from being premature/ having a birth defect. I think what #16 might have meant is it's sad they all died at the same time. It's not unusual to lose a child when it's a multiple birth but it's sad that they lost all 3. Just because you share a date of birth doesn't mean you have to share a date of death.

It would be more respectful for the dead to attend their grave than have a birthday party.

not in all cultures. I think it was a different kind of thing. they weren't trying to mourn, you know?

@#9, 14 They're not disrespectful, it is honestly creepy. It is okay for the parents to not have gotten over their children's deaths and still miss them, but having a birthday party and bringing other people into it takes it to a new level. There is something wrong there. However, OP probably shouldn't have put this on here.

I have to agree if the parents wanna celebrate there long dead kids probably best to do it in private

it's really sad that you'd ever post this on fml. the parents obviously haven't moved on. you're awful. I'm sorry, I had to say that.

for someone from a country built on independence and autonomy you have a hard time applying these concepts in the real world.

I don't see how this is disrespectful. I mean come on, sure they died when they were 1 but, it's been 9 years. sometimes you have to let things go and move on to better yourself. in those 9 years you could have had Thirty 9 year olds.

it was disrespectful to the parents to basically make fun of them on this site. if a birthday party for their dead children is how they cope with their deaths, then it should have never been exploited on a website.

It's not like the parents are going to read it...

You don't know that DJeePee. Millions of people look at this website. The birthrate for triplets is like 2 per 1,000. The likelihood of someone celebrating their dead triplets birthday 9 years later is very small. So its very much possible that the people the OP were referring to could read this.

it would have been disrespectful if op had said 'my crazy ______ invited me to the 10th birthday of their triplets who have been dead over 9 years' instead op probably meant "I've been invited to a 10th birthday party for triplets who have been gone for over 9 years....I'm feeling a bit awkward/uncomfortable"

# 22 have you ever lost a child? I can tell you as a parent who has, that is something you can NEVER "move on" from. When you lose a child, no matter how old they were when they passed, you are literally losing a part of yourself. I hope to God you never tell a bereaved parent to "move on." That is one of the worst things you could ever say.

342, I have lost my close father, I may not know how losing a child feels but I know how it does to lose family. it's ok to greave but after awhile Its just creepy. sometimes you just have to let go.

You expect to lose a parent...but not to outlive your child. I recently lost my son shortly after he turned 13, totally unexpected. Two very very different things.
