sometimes i just don't understand how parents can be such blatent assholes. this should be considered legally as child abuse. ****** up. beat your sibling. or steal their phone in the middle of the night and dump it and then pretend they "lost it."

They're gonna get you something better later. They're punking you right now.

This is absolutely heartwrenching. My heart really goes out to you buddy :(. I'm sad to say that this is something you will remember for the rest of your life. And to all you parents out there who play favorites, I hope you understand how hurtful you are being and how much you negatively influence someones life.

Lol that must be terrible :P

this whole thing was a hoax i think... there was one FML from the POV of the 18 year old that says "today, it's my 18th birthday. my parents got me a $5 gift certificate to itunes. it came for free with the iphone they just bought my sister for her middle school graduation..." there was one FML from the POV of the sister that says "my parents got me an iphone for my middle school graduation and it came with a $5 itunes gift card that my brother stole." there was one FML from the POV of the mom or dad that says "i got my 18 year old an iphone for his birthday and it came with a $5 itunes gift card. i planned to give the gift card to my daughter for her middle school graduation. i accidentally mislabled the packages, and gave them the wrong gifts. the 18 year old won't believe the iphone was for him." authentic or not, it's funny to hear the same story from three points of view.

Is this typical American or what? WTF is worng with u people??! Saying brothers or sisters are smarter, better looking, giving big presents to the child u like more??!!! Get real! U raise horrors of children if u treat them like that!

oh please, everyone, lighten up... there's no need to make social projections or racial assumptions based on one silly story.

That's sucks. Anyway Happy Birthday!, hope you had a nice day with your friends :)

Whatever. She's going to turn into a spoiled *****, get pregnant, and drop her iPhone (all within the next month). You'll go on to bigger and better things, get a degree, land a good job and then you can buy whatever you want and have the satisfaction of actually working for what you want instead of having Mommy and Daddy buy everything for you.

That is so stupid... Middle school graduation, big freakin whoop. Nobody even made a big deal about it when we "graduated" middle school, because it's not a big deal. That really sucks, dude.
