Today, I asked my dad what his plans for Friday were. Apparently, he's going to a concert with my step-mom all evening. It's been their plan for months. Friday is my birthday. That's been set since the day I was born. FML

Today, I heard my dad complaining that he won't be able to go to a concert, because it's happening on my birthday. This is the first time he's even acknowledged my birthday in over ten years. FML

Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML

Today, I called my dad to inform him I was coming home from college for the weekend. Expecting him to be excited, he responded with "why?" This weekend was my birthday. FML

Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML

Today, is the day of the biggest concert in the state of Florida, and it's also my birthday. I was so excited to hear my mom got tickets. It was for her boyfriend and her. I'm stuck at home babysitting. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My father didn't get me a birthday present or do anything for me, and acted as though he only came to visit because it was expected. Yet when it was his birthday a couple months ago, he expected me to take him out and pay for it FML

Today, I looked at my father's Facebook for the first time in a month to see a status saying, "Making wedding plans!" Really? When was he planning on telling his own daughter? 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

I don't see the issue. The concerts are only on specific days, if it was something they really wanted to see, Friday would be the only day they could go. Why can't his parents go to the concert and celebrate OPs birthday all day on the Saturday? If this was me in this situation I'd let them go to their concert and just suggest we go out for dinner the next day or any time that weekend to celebrate my birthday. And not bitch about it on FML. OP, get over it.

OP, you don't always get what you want for your birthday. It sucks but that is life sometimes.

Who cares? If you need to spend time with them that bad, then see if they want to do something in the early afternoon, like go out to lunch If not, spend it with friends, or go do something nice for yourself. There's really no FML here

Your dad is doinking your stepmom to his heart's content. What are you doing for the guy? Not nearly as much, I'll bet! Go celebrate with your biomom.

The exact time and day of your birth is important only once in your life - the day you were born. Just because they have plans for the evening, doesn't mean they intend to ignore you all day, and doesn't even remotely imply they've forgotten or chosen to ignore your birthday completely. It's entirely possible they've simply decided you're old enough to do what you like, and that they don't have to be hovering. Make plans with your friends for that evening, and have a family celebration later.

Exactly shows start 7-8 pm, there's plenty of time for them to do gifts/cake etc with you it doesn't mean they forgot at all.

who cares it's a birthday. you have them every year. get over it and celebrate on another day, let them enjoy their concert. this is not a FML. it's just a child being childish about life.
