Today, I got an email from my cousin to "save the date" for her baby shower. It's on my 21st birthday. This is the same cousin who got engaged on my 18th. FML

I doubt it was to spite you, and you are coming off as very selfish. You should be happy for your cousin, can't you put off celebrating your birthday for one night, or better yet, until after the baby shower? If your cousin is pregnant, she's probably not staying out for the shower at all hours of the night, so you could probably go out afterwords. Also, she doesn't control what night her boyfriend proposed. Further, the proposal really shouldn't affect your plans for your 18th birthday, so it sounds like you're just complaining that all the attention wasn't on you that night. Also, maybe she chose that night for the baby shower not to spite you and ruin your plans, but to commemorate the happy night when she got engaged?

....Fly all the way across the ocean and go to Vegas? Am I the only one who saw the part where it says the OP is from England? -.- It's not like OP can just take a road trip, there's a big honking ocean in the way.

But can't you legally drink already if you're from England? Why does it matter?

Engagements and babies are always going to be more important than your birthday.

If OP meant engagement party instead of simply being engaged or if it was expected of OP to avoid said cousin's birthday for her events, yeah I'd be a little miffed. Be the big person and go - heck they might even celebrate your day there too, especially if you drop a hint. I think this should give OP a great idea for gifts for the holidays - everyone gets calendars with OP's birthday already written in. Really, the cousin's mom or OP's mom should have spoken up as well, maybe they need a reminder.

why can't she get engaged on your birthday? and my cousins forget my birthday...because they're cousins. not siblings. stop feeling sorry for yourself because the attention isn't on you 24/7.

For those people who are saying "Why did she have to do it on the same day 3 yrs later" maybe BECAUSE she got engaged on that day, it made it special for her so naturally, plan something else on that very special day for her. Just because it's OP's bday doesnt mean shes NOT allowed to have that day be special for her for one reason or another. This person lives in england. they can drink at 18. OP, shut your big whiney ****** mouth.

I don't think you have your engagement party on the same day you get engaged. An engagement party is something your friends plan after the fact. Also, OP: Your cousin sounds like she's kind of a brat...but give her the benefit of the doubt. However, I wouldn't recommend making your family choose. I think that's uncomfortable for everyone. It's not their fault your cousin is so tactless. Though, seriously, just show up and tell everyone you're turning 21! And keep telling them. :D

doesnt work like that idiot. Downs syndrome is a chromosone definciany. Cerebal pulsy can be caused by a trauma like that but you're still an damn idiot for even suggesting it.
