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

Just ask him to take you with him! Might be the first birthday present you get from him.

At least he's acknowledging it? Although it'd be better to ignore it than complain about it in my opinion

that sucks. but hey, at least you have seen your dad in the last 10 years...

Are you 40 years old and still living at home?

On your birthday, take him to one of your cat-sweater knitting parties, and he'll never bug you on your birthday again.

The first and last time he'll remember sweetie. :)

I'm sorry for you OP, you don't deserve that.

Tell dad to go to the concert and that you'll just celebrate your birthday (with him) the following week. I'd say go with him but you may not share the same taste in music as your parent. I certainly don't. Sucks when events coincide. I have tickets to see the Eagles and hate that it falls on Black Friday.

#20, because a $19 Blue-Ray player from Wal-Mart is better than "Hotel California?"

I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid for these ******* over priced tickets. And yes, it's only to hear hotel California. :P

A real dad will always care for his daughter's birthday.

To be fair, based on your location, I'm going to hazard a guess that he may be missing out on Rapture (Eminem for the first time in New Zealand, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole), in which case I understand his pain. If I had the ability to go, but couldn't, for whatever reason, I'd be pretty annoyed to. FYL though.
