Today, it was my 17th birthday. My mom forgot and my best friend is out of town. The highlight of my day? The guy at McDonald's slipped an extra apple pie in my bag. FML

Today, it's my 18th birthday. Last month was my best friend's 18th birthday. She spent the night with me, and the next morning, my mom and brother gathered in my room and sang "Happy Birthday" as they handed her pancakes with a candle on top. Today, I was woken up by screams to take the trash 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, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. FML

Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." 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 found out I can't go to my best friend's birthday party. To cheer me up, my parents decided to take me and my brother to my favorite pizzeria for dinner. When I was ready and went downstairs, I discovered they left already. They forgot me. FML

You do know that the price is the same for both one and two so they automattically give you two when you order one right?

Pffft. The ONLY birthday gifts I've ever received from my mother were: a BFI-blue gortex coat complete with cookie-monsteresque fake blue "fur" around the hood. for my sweet 16, and some make up brushes from K&B Drugstore when my boyfriend was on active duty during the Gulf War. We were not poor. My mother was just inconsiderate.

On my 18th birthday, I waited all day to see when someone would acknowledge my birthday. By late that afternoon, I started expecting a surprise party. Nothing happened. The next morning I walked out of my room with a suitcase. My mother asked where I was going. I said that I was moving out since I had turned 18 yesterday. My mom yelled "Son of a bitch!" And wrote me a check for $50. Later that day my dad showed up with a similar sentiment, as did my grandmother and brothers. You wanna know what upstaged my birthday? A college football game. That lost.
