Money: Fun times

Fun times

By KeepinItInTheFamily - 28/10/2018 05:00

Today, my future sister-in-law told me that not only will I have to host her bachelorette party at my new, still under construction house, but she has also booked a sex consultant to come and give a toy presentation. There's a $350 minimum spend. Only 5 people are coming, 4 of which are family. FML

Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML

Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML

Today, I was yelled at and humiliated by my otherwise awesome brother-in-law for my supposed lack of effort in the planning of a baby shower for my very pregnant sister. The kicker? Her huge, break-my-bank semi-surprise baby shower has been in the works for a month and is happening this weekend. FML

Today, while celebrating my birthday, my friends hired a few escorts to make the party more interesting. This was a really bad way to learn that my sister is a prostitute. FML

Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML

The big con

By JustOutofCollegeAndBroke - 16/07/2015 06:56 - United States - Los Angeles

Today, I agreed to help out with my boyfriend's sister's baby shower. They forgot to inform me that "helping" meant splitting the cost of everything. I now owe his family $275. I don't know how to back out without looking cheap. FML

Today, I overheard my soon to be step-daughter telling her friend on the phone that she hopes that mine and her father's wedding is just a big joke, and that he isn't really going to go through with it. I just dropped five grand on a dress and venue. She's in for a surprise. FML

Today, my wife invited 45+ people to her baby shower, but literally 4 people came. Now I get to deal with my pregnant wife and her fluctuating hormones. FML

Today, I rang up a good friend to ask her to be one of the two bridesmaids at my upcoming wedding. Before I could ask, she let me know that she would not be attending my wedding, as, "Weddings are expensive, so I'm not attending ones for people that are just acquaintances." FML

Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

If you're not the Maid of Honor, tell her to go **** herself with one of the $350 sex toys. If you are the Maid of Honor, well... buckle up, buckaroo.

Tell her no. And tell her you’re not shopping for sex toys in front of your family. Seriously, just tell her ******* no. Even if she wants those things, it doesn’t have to be at your house and you can make it clear from the get go that you’re not part of her minimum spend.

I would tell her that my house will not have guests until I want them there and it certainly wouldn't be for her party. I would then explain that she can have tons of fun paying that $350 minimum because you never agreed to that and shame on her for even trying that bullshit. I would further tell her that even if I was comfortable looking at sex toys with family, having that kind of minimum with 5 people is ridiculous and any further requests like that will be ignored because you are not her lackey and she isn't paying you to jump for her.

Step 1: say no Step 2: when she complains flip her the bird Step 3: slap her in the face Step 4 (optional): have a machete on you for when she gets pissed Step 5: kill her Step 6: chop up the body and dispose of it in the ground as deep as you can dig in one night Step 7: clean up the blood and gore remaining on the floor (bleach works the best) Step 8: frame a bachelorette, enemy of hers, or her fiancé for the murder Just some kind advice from a serial killer, also make sure you are in the house alone when this happens and nobody knows she was there
