Today, some of my classmates brought cupcakes to celebrate my birthday. I took the leftovers with me after class, and when my mom picked me up from school, she asked, "What are the cupcakes for?" FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I brought a cupcake to school for my friend's birthday. After taking one bite, she exclaimed that it was the worst thing she had ever tasted and that we should sue the store that I bought it from. I baked it myself. FML

Today, I got a text from my mom saying, "I heard the cupcake store got robbed. Where are you?" Then she texted back, "Oh never mind, they wanted money, not cupcakes. It wasn't you." Very funny, Mom. FML

Today, my mom baked cupcakes for my visiting grandparents. Later, I saw my grandpa chowing down on them. Even later, my mom demanded to know why there were a dozen cupcake wrappers on my bed. I've essentially been framed by my own grandpa, and am now grounded for a month. FML

Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. FML

Today, I realized that the only time I've ever been noticed by my classmates is when I brought cake for the potluck. FML

Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML

Today, I brought some cupcakes to my class for my birthday, like all the cool kids do. When it came time to sing happy birthday, the entire class said "happy birthday to" then forgot my name. Except my teacher. She said Steve. My name's Jeff. FML

Today, my boyfriend said he felt like eating icing. So I baked him cupcakes, put icing on them and decorated them. When I handed them to him, he picked off the decoration, licked the icing and handed the cupcake back to me, saying, "I told you that's all I wanted." 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 made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML

Yeah this doesn't automatically mean the mom forgot the kid's birthday. She could have just asked without really thinking about it first, or was trying to make conversation, or maybe he is in a school where home ec is required and he sometimes brings food home from that. If the mom's response was given then it could lead to an FML or not, but this seems really vague to have even been posted. For all we know the mom said "Oh yeah, duh! Let's get home and get to your presents!" Maybe later she'll be on here submitting "Today, I tried to get my son to talk to me by asking him a question, since he's one of those typical adolescents that doesn't open up to me unless I talk to him a lot first, and accidentally asked a question with a really obvious answer. He then posted about it online so a bunch of strangers could call me a shitty parent. FML"

He's completely right. there are a lot of people insulting this mom kinda harshly. None of you know what happened afterwards

Well, considering this is on FML, it's kind of safe to assume OP's mom forgot about the birthday. Otherwise, it wouldn't really be a FML.

Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean that everything that happens today is related to it. Cupcakes could have been for something else. Or you mom is just joking.

Wow.. You were desperate to get your own FML. I hope you're happy!

You were probably a mistake. It seems that with each passing year, she's just regretting you more so it's better to not remind her.

that's actually a legitimate question. she doesn't know the cupcakes are for your birthday. it's just random cupcakes.

Reminds me of the joke Demetri Martin used on one of his stand-up shows: "I like fruit baskets because a fruit basket allows you to mail someone fruit without appearing insane. If you mail someone some apples, they'll be like, 'What the hell is this?'"

You remeber when someone is born, they have an annual day of birth? That.

Save the resentment for her birthday and when she opens gifts from everyone else go "What are the gifts for?"

Okay, can we agree on that FMLers just have the worst Moms in the world, I keep on reading stories of Moms being absolute asswipes here. That, or let us work for better contraception to prevent this.
