They embarrassed themselves, picking a fight, gaslighting a situation that really shouldn’t have been that big of a deal, and the lack of maturity and accountability? Ridiculous. Terrible parents!
also them posting the story on facebook while being mad that the bf did the same thing
@@helikopterszturmowyybf didn’t know oat being nasty he posted his and his gf birthday dinner so don’t try to compare the two like their the same
@@bazinga0420he was speaking about the hypocrisy of it like “they were just crying about the bf posting claiming PA and then for public opinion they post PA” hypocritical action wasn’t saying it’s the same just that what they claimed happened is what they did
@@finessegod6263 ohhhh okay mb
His grandfather died....its embarrassing he's crying about his birthday
Those are horrible disgusting manipulative people say forgot your birthday and then blame you for them forgetting
Agreed
You wanna hear something better? My parents didn’t ever celebrate mine my one Boyfriend in high school brought me McDonald’s break fast on my birthday and my mom proceeded to get mad over it. Skip to a few years later which was now a few days ago my mom proceeded to ask me to order my sister a pizza box special. On her birthday because my mom said “ it’s her birthday we moved her birthday party to the weekend and I want her to have something special to come back from school. I’ll send you the money just order it” but yet never once growing up did she ever think about me like that growing up. Once I moved out my mom then calls me and invited me to my own party. She would be like are u free? On this date? Great I’m throwing u a party for ur birthday just show up. The only reason she did this when I moved out is so she could impress my boyfriend because she’s well aware that I only tell the truth about her which in her eyes is talking bad about her
@@NOTYOURWIFE_fbnstatic that’s so sad I feel bad for you
But speaking of birthdays I only had one birthday party because normally in my religion we don’t celebrate our birthdays but they made an exception for me best day of my life
@@NOTYOURWIFE_fbnstaticdon't care
They made a big deal about them forgetting your birthday… they sound like great people
My favorite part is them talking about a “surprise party”. It literally makes no sense. If they were setting up a surprise party, wouldn’t the boyfriend have known. Its just funny thinking about it lol
I love the audacity of getting mad at someone whose birthday YOU forgot😂
Imagine getting angry at your own child for you forgetting that child’s birthday
I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was 16. My husbands family is huge on parties and everything for people's birthdays so it took me years to get them to stop trying to throw me a party. I'm 31 now. But on my 18th birthday I spent it by myself at home watching tv and my brother (who is in federal prison) was the only one to send me something for my birthday and sent me a gift. Everyone else in my family either I didn't hear from or they called long enough to say happy birthday then hung up. My brother did call me and we spoke on the phone for as long as he was able too before having to get off. Atleast I knew my brother cared.
Could you speed up the voice a little more?
Yeah it was just a little too slow for my liking
@@T_h_e_0 me too, the voice talks way too slow. kind of ruins the video.
Yeah it was too slow that video couldnt tell whole story
Db,db,db,db wheeee! Wheeee!
In my family we never forget each other’s birthdays and always have a big celebration sometimes a restaurant sometimes at their house so hearing that is so heart breaking because they showed who they really are just because someone made a post about how OP was upset
I turned 15 the same day my aunt's death was announced (suicide by overdose) and even I had a better birthday from my family, goddamn (everyone forgot and I didn't mention anything, was taken to a concert later that year with a friend to try and make up for it bc everyone was heartbroken)
Meh, my parents have been forgetting my birthday since I was 10, so birthdays still aren't that important to me. I remember how, when I was 20 and out of the house, my parents completely forgot about my birthday and didn't even post on Facebook like they used to just to make themselves look good, and I shrugged it off until my sister asked about it. Turns out, my sister noticed my parents didn't wish me a happy birthday and asked my mother if everything was okay. My mother claimed it was because I had distanced myself from the family and wouldn't answer their calls when they tried to call me. I literally sent my sister screenshots of my call history proving my parents hadn't bothered to reach out. No surprise, I got a call from my mother afterwards and got yelled at for "starting drama" and that, if it bothered me so bad, I should have called. Years later, I went NC after fighting with her and calling her out in front of the family for a 10+ year old lie, and she made some pity post on Facebook about how she failed me and blamed it on my grandmother, who had been dead since I was about 5...
Imagine having to remind your parents of your birthday all your childhood and having to ask for a party because they always forgot until the last second only to end up cutting contact on your birthday as an adult...
Hardly anyone called or texted me happy birthday 8 days ago and my birthday isn’t that hard to remember
I’ve been through this a bunch of times and I stopped caring a long time ago knowing how much people in my circle really cared about me(even though I told them my birthday long ago)👍👍
Happy belated birthday then bucko.
Forget the story that shiny gyarados painting is perfect.
The lines on that painting were so smooth! 🤩
"Ruined their surprise party".... what party?? 😂😂
"we're so angry at you because we forgot your birthday! How dare you!"
I didnt even get a happy birthday from anyone except my maternal grandma for my 12th birthday because my dad scheduled a job interview on my birthday which was apparently super important.
people forget mine and i stopped celebrating and once even forgot myself
It never makes since to me how somebody can be mad at YOU for missing YOUR BIRTHDAY! I don’t think it’s normal to have to remind your closest family of something that is so important
"You should've told us!" 33 years is how long they had to remember
Similar things happend to me last year only the difference is everyone forgot the birthday including me and remembered the next day to check for the holiday date
Sounds like 1 less person to all of their funerals
I normally don’t ask for gifts from my friends on my birthdays I just say “can you remember to message me” cause I feel like that is easy. They’ve forgotten multiple times, sure it hurts every time but I still get messages and gifts from my family so it’s not bad at all.
How are they gonna paint you as the bad person when it was THEIR fault for forgetting?
It's like saying, "I can't believe you DARED to have a birthday. How ungrateful and embarrassing."
You know, when you do something this bad you usualy keep your head down and appologize, but the narcicism is stronger then the ghilt of the fact the forghot about her daughter's birthday
I just got back from japan and the jet lag is killing me
All they had to do was say that they'll celebrate later, that would be perfectly reasonable
I may not be able to actually celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend since she currently in a different country but I know that at least she wants to see me happy on my birthday on the correct day while my family minus my father celebrates my birthday on the weekend which hurts and I grew to accept the fact that even if I told my mother about it or anything that’s been bothering me she wouldn’t really listen. I’m 21 btw
“We forgot your birthday and it’s your fault”
My family has always forgotten my birthday.
What horrible parents, the only reason I no longer celebrate my birthday is because it’s just a horrible experience to be in spotlight, but this?!? Literal monsters.
They made the problem and blew it out of proportion. Nice
Damn, talk about turning gaslighting into a family affair.
If you forget someone's birthday, there are two things you gotta do. One, make sure you don't forget again. Calender, alarm, whatever works. Two, admit your mistake and try your best to make up for it. If the birthday wasn't that big of a deal to OP, then the parents weren't gonna have a hard time making up. But instead, they were mean.
We seriously need playback speed in shorts...
Speedrunning/challengerunning will always fascinate me.
Hahahaha surprise party? Lolol suuuuure you mean the one that was literally planned after the birthday
My guy is speaking like eminem 💀
Nope. Thwy embarrassed themselves. Could have easily resolved if they just apologised and made it up to Op. But no, its easier for them to hype up the drama to make themselves look better. It seems pride is more important than their relationship with their child.
Gosh, I just stayed silent till the next year and now I don’t celebrate anymore. It’s just a day now.
My birthday was in dec too close to Christmas far enough from the first, only a few times i remember getting a birthday , but they remembered when I turned 17 and told me I was too old for birthdays not even cards. I was always told family was important, but its funny now thinking back they never took their own advice.
Parents:*forget birthday OP:Ok *Goes out and has a lovely time with boyfriend and friends Parents:*offended gasp
When people lie about other people on social media to embarrass them and it backfires, the only ones they have to blame is themselves.
My parents forget my birthday every year they go on vacation actually. After the age of 15 I am already so used to it that i just don't even care. Do celebrate my own birthday By myself now every year.
Well, Except for the pandemic.That's the only time they had no where to go and we got to celebrate. It's not so sad if you think about it just celebrate your own even if everyone else forgets.❤🎉🥳
Lowkey I’m on a vacation for 20days to visit my dying grandpa to..
Very smart people, Especially when a surprise party would happen on or at least a day out of a birthday? Not DAYS.
i can forgive not remembering and even being upset that OP didnt say anything, i can chalk that up to stress from losing a family member
but trying to lie, saying you had a whole party planned just to save face is just rotten
why they getting mad at YOU for forgetting ur birthday 😭
A little of-topic but that red Gyarados looks cool
Cheapest nursing home is getting a new customer 📈📈
i liked the shiny Gyarados at the end
Go no contact. If they have the audacity to blame you for them forgetting by your birthday, they’re not worth keeping in your life
My birthday is often forgotten by everyone, I am very lonely

This just seems like BS. They clearly forgot and even if they were planning a surprise b-day party nothing is ruined if they wait and don't say anything about it. Saying "it's ruined" because the b-day person actually celebrated with someone ON their b-day instead of waiting for a surprise party they had no way of knowing about if it were actually being planned is just ridiculous! Plus there is nothing "passive-aggressive" or even "aggressive" about not reminding your family it's your b-day and posting a few party pics with friends on your b-day, especially when it wasn't even the OP who posted but their boyfriend!
I'm 34 in just over a day.... I doubt we'll do anything... unless I PLAN it.... and considering I plan EVERY OTHER holiday and family event.... my birthday and mothers day are the ONLY days I expect those that "CARE" about me to fucking handle... It's fucking pathetic to have to plan those days for myself...
My parents forgot my birthday every year since I was a kid, it made no difference if I reminded them.
I get it that a birthday is important for kids, but being upset about it at 30? I think BOTH sides are to blame.
“I embarrassed my parents for forgetting my birthday” no hun they embarrassed themselves and those family member who sided with them also embarrassed themselves
The very last time I got anything for my birthday was when I turned 13, my family who are alive don't wish me happy birthday and don't buy presents for me (don't expect them to get me anything though as I'm an adult) but the fact that I haven't been wished happy birthday from when I was 13 to now kinda stings, especially bevause my little sister took my phone and deleted the last voice-mail I got from my grandma who passed away 3 months after I turned 13 as a prank, I had listened to that voicemail on my 14th and 15th birthdays because it was my grandma wishing me happy birthday, I can't get that voice-mail back, I didn't even get to keep the present my grandma had bought me for my 13th birthday because my younger sister wanted it and my mother gave it to her because my little sister is mommies little princess, it was a snowboard, we don't even get snow in the state that my sister and mother live in, my sister sold it to buy junk food because my dad refused to buy her the shitty junk food she wanted, I didn't even get to look at my snowboard before my mother ripped it from my hands to give to my at the time 9 year old sister, she sold it for $20, it was brand new, never opened, and custom made so it was worth at least $400 (I recently saw the receipts, it was actually closer to $1000) my step-mother sold all of the cards my grandma had gotten me over the years (I collect pokemon cards and some of my cards are worth a good chunk of money) my step-mother sold them for $5, there were over $500 worth of cards in what she sold, the value being well over $800 and I didn't even get the $5 she sold them for. My family constantly forgets my birthday and get upset if I point it out, my partner once made a passive agressive post about taking me out for a birthday lunch to my favorite restaurant and then to the movies with my favorite snacks to watch a movie I had been wanting to see since I saw the trailers (nothing special, it was just D.C. Superpets) and my mother got on facebook ranting and raving about "How dare my daughters partner stral her birthday from us, we were going to celebrate as a family at (little sisters favorite restaurant that I despise bc they have nothing I'll eat there)"
Wow the parents/family saw a post, felt guilty and embarrassed (which they should) and the tried to gaslight OP into being wrong for something they didn't post nor had any idea it was posted. Those are trash people regardless of family ties. I would go low or no contact. surround yourself with others who love you trully and they will be your family.
What the hell, the conversation should have ended at "We're so sorry" "Oh it wasnt a big deal to me" and if the REALLY felt bad they'd make it up to you. Hell no one would have known they didnt do anything with you had they not said anything publicly so its not like their reputation was at stake.
I ain’t gon lie I was only paying attention to the video not the story on first watch
Wait what is wrong in forgetting someone's birthday, I don't even care about that 💀
She didn't even post anything, and the boyfriend just posted a nice happy birthday message, she wasn't trying to shame them, and they overacted because they felt guilty, what turds.
I didnt even understand what he said💀💀
cool poster and burger 👍
Nobody not even my friends even came to my 13th birthday no family or anything
I never new my mom or my dads dad they died before I was born i only met my grandma's
How can you call someone a horrible person when you forgot their birthday?
wait, so them forgetting the birthday was a compete nonissue until the dad called and bitched about having forgotten?
Was it even a post calling them out for forgetting? It sounds like he just made a normal birthday post and they got mad for literally no reason.
That’s a cool garydos
How tf can you ruin a surprise party
No, they lied and tried to make you responsible for there screw up. This is just holding them accountable.
No, the bf embarrassed the parents for the birthday. OP humiliated the parents for a passive aggressive bitch fit.
Tbc, everyone fucked up here except OP.
The bf should've called and spoken to them directly. Stay calm, be curt. No need for drama.
The parents should've called and apologized, bare minimum. It's better to compensate somehow, but if OP wasn't seeking it, then it's not dire. Just remember it, and move on. (or OP can ignore their birthdays for a couple years, and if anyone asks, just point out that it's just desserts.)
The dad has no business chastising his child after HE wrong THEM. Likewise, neither does the mother with that passive aggressive post.
OP could've just set the record straight with a single post explaining the whole ordeal, playing out their emotional response to each event as it's detailed. But OP is well within their rights to respond emotionally seeing as THEIR misfortune was the instigating factor from the start.
Personally, the single long part explanation is my preference... Not that you can guess.
how are they mad at you because they forgot YOUR birthday😵💫
You didn’t embarrass them for forgetting your birthday. You embarrassed them for trying to make it seem like you’re an ungrateful child who likes to make passive-aggressive posts when they’re upset. Ultimately they embarrassed themselves.
Technically OP didn't do anything their boyfriend did so the fact that they are mad at you because they forgot is crazy
You see that's the thing, they forgot your boyfriend through you an awesome birthday you guys celebrated and your boyfriend did a post something he doesn't normally do but he did it because he wanted to share your special day. Your family then calls you b****** you out and then you don't hear from him for a while. Then they have the audacity to put you on blast with lies to the rest of your family on social media and because you're the rest of your extended family doesn't know that they forgot or the full story they just assumed that you were just being ungrateful to your parents. So you have every right to defend the fact that your parents and siblings forgot your birthday and then gaslight everything to prove that they are still good people. Obviously it was not something that was intended to happen but it did but instead of trying to write the situation and do like a celebration with you after the fact and apology for forgetting The gaslight you and instead make themselves look stupid
So... they purposefully forget about your birthday and don't say anything because they were planning a surprise party and get upset when somebody else celebrates your birthday with you? Is that what I'm seeing? Because if so, *_HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE??_*
Here is an update from op (finally I get to be paragraph guy)
Update
Hi all,
I tried posting this on the AITA sub, but it’s too long. I’ve been reading as many comments as I can. I do have a quick update, but I wanted to address some questions:
1. My boyfriend’s post: He had no idea that my parents hadn’t acknowledged my birthday until my dad called. I never mentioned it because, again, I wasn’t angry. The post was just a picture of us at the restaurant with my birthday cheesecake. The caption verbatim was, “Blessed to see you make another trip around the sun. I love you!” There was no mention of anything else. I also wasn’t aware of the post until my dad called about it.
2. This is very out of character for either of my parents which is why I’m not going to go no-contact. The way everything escalated is bizarre, but it gives me a better understanding of the situation. Hopefully it will for everyone else as well.
Onto the update:
After everything happened yesterday I told my boyfriend about the FB thing and he agreed that I should just not deal with it for the day. I turned my phone off and just chilled out. Around 6pm my boyfriend got a text from my brothers asking if they could come by because they wanted to see me and bring me the candy they brought back for me. I agreed and they came over… along with my parents. At this point, I was annoyed to see my parents, but we let everyone in. My boyfriend made sure I was alright, and took my brothers out back so I could be alone with my parents. My mom started crying immediately and sobbed out an “I’m sorry”. I don’t know about you, but seeing my mom cry started to make me cry. My dad then explained what happened. Apparently they absolutely forgot about my birthday (again understandable). My paternal aunt had come over on Saturday to see my parents. It’s worth noting that she does NOT like my mom for whatever reason. Since he’s been around for last 4 years, my boyfriend follows my brothers and a few of my cousins and vice versa. My cousins saw the post, showed my aunt and she asked my mom how my birthday went. (Side note, my extended family did reach out to wish me happy birthday, they just didn’t know my family forgot). I guess my mom was caught out and my aunt went in on her being a bad mother and all that and saying at least I have my boyfriend. My dad got upset, told my aunt to leave and said they already had something planned (they didn’t). That’s when he called me. They never saw the post , and I was wrong thinking my brothers showed them. My dad said he felt awful for yelling at me and apologized, but explained that he hated seeing his wife so upset. They took the weekend to cool down, but as many of you guessed, my mom tried to save face via FB. She explained that she didn’t think I would see it since I’m not usually on. What she didn’t realize is that when she typed my name in the post, my user name populated thus tagging me. She was shocked and embarrassed when I responded and started getting calls and texts from the extended family. She came clean to my dad about it and that’s when they tried calling, but I wouldn’t answer. My mom looked very distraught and I just told her that everything was ok and that I’m sorry that I responded the way I did. It’s evident that she’s taking her father’s passing extremely hard and I don’t want to pile more onto her. Now’s not the time. My dad said it’s was few days late, but he’d love to order pizza and just hang out. I agreed. My boyfriend and brothers came inside and we spent a few hours listening to stories about my grandfather and my mom’s childhood. It’s definitely a birthday I won’t forget, but I guess alls well that ends well?
I would like to point out that we do NOT like my dad’s sister. She’s an awful person, but my cousins are amazing so my dad tolerates her. My mom can usually handle herself around my aunt, but she’s in a really vulnerable state which is how this escalated. I’ll probably talk to her about again, just not anytime soon
Also, thank you for the birthday wishes!
WHY IS IT SO FAST😭
Yes YATAH but for responding.
This is entirely too much drama around an adult's birthday.
I was so confused by the end by how fast it was talking.. but they were mad at you/the person that made the reddit post, bc your bf posted abt your birthday and u “forgot” to tell them it was ur birthday even tho they should’ve remembered?
How tf are they gonna get mad op when they're the that forgotten op's birthday. narcissistic people 🙄
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they're still in grief, but seriously, that was a bit much
Burger cake was cool
Dude, that is some bowl for one, they forgot and didn't even plan anything and 2 like, why are you saying oh, they ruined a surprise party and that's why we didn't say Happy Birthday online as if you're trying to defend yourself against a situation that isn't necessarily public yet. But you think that they might go public right? Because a surprise party would have to be a surprise. And no one told them to come home like that's not even what they said.Oh, it's not a big deal about the not saying.Happy Birthday stuff.It's okay and then they went online and said you're a horrible person because you were okay with the fact that we forgot your birthday and yelled at you about it
AS YOU SHOULD
Imagine getting mad coz u forgot ur kids birthday and ranting about it on facebook

Or you make them think you'll celebrate it later, but surprise them a little early.
