Today, my girlfriend decided to treat me out to dinner and cake for my birthday. My mom felt left out and yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade. My girlfriend went home. I'm spending my birthday, alone in my room. FML

Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. To celebrate, I spent the day with her and then took her out to a really nice dinner. She is currently giving me the silent treatment because I didn't write "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall. FML

Today, I thought it would be nice to take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for my birthday. She got a little headache after we ordered, so she went outside to get some air. I ate a $100 meal and had Happy Birthday sang to me by the restaurant staff. Alone. 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, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML

Today, I celebrated my birthday. By that, I mean I spent most of the day alone in a field, waiting for my boyfriend to have time for me, then we broke up, and I ended up spending the evening crying alone on a beach. FML

Today, for my birthday, I got a hotel room for me and my boyfriend. He decided that spending time with a female friend was more important than spending time with me. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I spent the day doing nothing but chores, amongst which baking my own birthday cake. I was then so exhausted that I couldn't even stand my own company, so I ate the cake alone on the couch, watching TV. It didn’t taste great. FML

Today, I traveled 3 hours to a town I hate, to spend my birthday with my mom and brother and his family. My mom didn't realize it was my birthday until the cake slice with candles was placed in front of me. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML

Regardless of how old OP is he needs to deal with the situtation RESPECTFULLY. Momma should not be yelling at anyone for planning a nice evening for her son that does not involve illegal activity. OP, address this behavior NOW or be a slave to it until you attend your mothers funeral...

I'd make her apologize to your gf that was so uncalled for

There are two issues with this FML. The first:"my mom yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade"- unquestionably an error on the mom's fault. The second: Apparently, OP wasn't operating entirely on neutral territory, away from detractors- rookie mistake.

Your mom is at fault here. Also, although your gf may have felt uncomfortable, could have still understood that it IS your birthday, and to still do something with you.

I honestly don't blame the girlfriend for leaving. She got yelled at by her boyfriend's mom, which is inappropriate in the first place, and for trying to do something nice for him! She probably felt shut down and unappreciated. I can't say I would have stayed either.

I'm spending my birthday alone this year too (it's on Sunday). I'm used to it; I have absolutely no social life and my only friend can't be there. Also my family has to work. Yay Us. :I
