Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. FML

Today, was my graduation party. My birthday was about a week ago so my parents combined the presents. I thought it would be something big so I hinted for a new TV. I got a snuggie. FML

Today, it's my birthday, and apparently my family forgot it. But one person didn't forget. My dog gave me a little present in my new shoes I bought for myself. FML

Today, I turned 18. My parents got me a pineapple and a pair of socks. I'm allergic to pineapple, and the socks are too small. FML

Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML

Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML

Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML

Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML

Well slipper socks ARE awesome. Fact is you are nineteen, expecting expensive birthday presents from your parents and being a little brat when you don't get one is very immature. You're an adult, go buy one yourself.

I'm also going to agree and say you're being a brat. You're 19, an adult. You can get a job and not rely on your parents. They don't have to get you a laptop. Plus, you got a freaking dinner, so don't complain.

Your life isn't ****** because you didn't get the costly gift you were hoping for. Your life IS ****** because you're a brat.

Why are there more FYL's than YDI's? It's obviously a YDI all the way.

When I turned 19 and asked for a laptop, my dad took me to local strip club with a stack of twenties. Best birthday EVAR!

You should be grateful for getting anything more than a card after you turn 18. Also, if you don't have a job yet, maybe you should think about getting one so you don't have to rely on presents for the things you want.

I think I've figured it out. You're going to buy the OP a laptop with the money you get with your JOB. That is so nice of you! Even though you are 16 and she just turned 19, I think she'll be so happy that she'll give you some! Isn't it great how FML gets people together?
