Today, my dad's girlfriend threw me a birthday party and all the gifts, decorations, and the cake were according to my age, which they thought was 12. I turned 13 today. FML

If your dad's girlfriend is like 35 or whatever.. get her a 40 year old balloon on her next birthday :P She won't be happy either.

Aww, that sucks. Congrats and happy birthday! And congratulations on being 13 and typing more coherently than most of the older crowd.

the cake is a lie... the cake is a lie... (takes a deep breath) the cake is a lie... the cake is a lie...

Hehe. Your dad must like his new girlfriend. ^^

ah crap, 13 year olds on FML? Great parenting letting your 13 year old on the net without monitoring. What the crap are you doing on this site!!!

Obviously the OP doesn't have the best parents when her dad doesn't even know how old she is.

Last time I checked, this was a 13+ site, you little ****.

Okay, I know I posted earlier but OP, it is a big deal turning thirteen. I would've slapped her and said I'm 13 bitch!!! That's okay, for my twelfth brithday my parents made me go to a tae kwon do testing instead of letting me stay home and celebrate. I still hold it over thier heads. Yeah, I did get to go to the wild animal park but I wanted to go ON my birthday, not three days later. I can only remember having one awesome birthday party and that was my tenth. People out there, he's saying his own father forgot how old he was. How would you like it if your parents forgot how old you were? I know I would've started screaming.

Wow, you sound totally mature. It's not all that surprising that your parents didn't want to be with you on your birthday. OP: Quit whining. I know it sucks that your dad forgot your age, but you got a party and they obviously care about you enough to do that. It's just a day, you'll have more birthdays.

Your parents bought you tae kwon do lessons? Excuse me while I don't feel sorry for you. And they took you to an animal park? Where do you get off complaining about them not catering to your petty little schedule? Good lord, you have no idea how quickly I would have gotten nothing for my birthday had I been a whiny little brat about what I received, and rightfully so. And your cocky claim that you would slap your father's girlfriend across the face and call her a bitch? I don't believe you for one second. It's mind-boggling to think of how disrespectful that would be when she went through the effort to plan your party, and just made an honest mistake. The party wasn't ruined, all they had to do was laugh about the mistake and move on with it. My parents have thought that I was the wrong age on many occasions. It happens. I understand their explanation that they will always think of me as their child, and it's hard to believe that so much time has gone by since I was born. To start screaming at them would be... well, like something a toddler would do. A spoiled toddler, at that.

Seriously, is this person joking? Or ar they actually the world's most spoilt person? I once saw a clip from that show 'My Super Sweet Sixteen.' This mom got her daughter a really expensive sports car, and when she showed it to her, the girl started having a fit, complaining she didn't want any presents until her party, and yelling that her mom had 'ruined her birthday.' ...was that you?

Oh, dude, #169, that one might've been the one I was watching with my cousins (all girls) in their basement. It was a like a S500-some Mercedes, like one that cost 120k+ (I went car-shopping with my parents, who went to a Maybach-Benz dealer). Conveniently, it was a ******* marathon, and one of the girls seriously started crying and screaming because she couldn't get pink roses as the centerpiece at the tables. Basically what I'm trying to say is that it's not a big deal. Reply with "YES IT IS!!!" after I share this. How about the next birthday, instead of planning a party at all, the OP's dad's girlfriend gets drunk, and starts beating her to a bloody pulp. Or, between now and then, the OP suddenly get's Stage IV cancer, and she has 2 months to live. Or, if instead of being born into a family that can afford a party, she's born in Somalia, where her parents are infected with AIDS and have a life expectancy of 40, where she has 6 brothers and sisters, no money, no house, no food, and there's a dudes killing each other all up and down the streets. ******* perspective.

Wow, one year off and your life is ******. I swear these FML's are getting crappy..

trust me wen u get older ur gonna wish you were younger, if you want have strong bones and a healthier brain try sum marijuana kids, its good for you;D

You're an idiot. The only birthdays worth caring about are your 16th ( for girls at least), 18th, and 21st. But congratulations for officially becoming a teenager and falling right into the whiney little girl category. Have fun hanging outside of movie theaters and wandering around malls in packs.
