Miscellaneous: Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after...

Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML

It's all too much

Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML

Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML

Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML

Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML

Ignore! Ignore!

Today, I was at a job interview when my phone started ringing. It was my mom, so I quickly hit "Ignore", which was probably for the best since she was obviously drunk. She left a voicemail in which she sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It's not my birthday. FML

This is going to be my fault, isn't it?

Today, my mom had been in a really bad mood. She got in the car to take me to work, and without thinking, started backing up. The garage door was only half open, and now has a huge dent in it. FML

Happy nothing, then

Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML

This is when you bake a big cake and tell her you were only pretending to forget. You can recover!

Personally, I just don't acknowledge my mom's birthday; that way she doesn't have to get any older

For real though, this happened, my mom turned 44 today. I remembered it all week, and then today I just completely forgot about it... I'm an insomniac and I usually fall asleep around 7-8 and she goes to work at 10. So I was beyond groggy. I'm planning on taking her out to dinner tomorrow,

It's sad how we live in a day and age where you need a website to remind you of your own mother's birthday

YDI, but you can easily redeem yourself if you try to surprise her :P

Hate to tell you, but your mother is immature. A mature person would've reminded you that it was her birthday, and then you could've said "happy birthday" to her. Otherwise, she should've just waited to see if you said something during the day, but that's still being a martyr because it's expecting people to remember it without prompting.
