Today, my dad bought me a new laptop for my birthday. That's because he wants to use my old laptop for work, which is more expensive, has better specs, runs faster, and has a wider screen than my new computer. I just got a downgraded laptop as my birthday present. FML

Don't give him your old laptop! Keep both. It's a gift, not an exchange.

Why are people so unnecessarily NASTY about FMLs? So what if the OP got a laptop...it doesn't make them spoiled. I would be a little annoyed if I got a laptop and a.) Found out it was an exchange, not a gift and b.) it wasn't as good as the one I had previously. There are all ranges of FML on here...just because they're not ALL from impoverished orphans who get dumped at the altar, doesn't make the other OPs any less deserving. RE-LAX!

I don't know if anyone else thought of this and I don't feel like reading three pages of comments but it sounds like the op is a kid because they live with their father still. this probably means that the ops original laptop was bought for them by the father and he's being nice and getting them their own because he needs the good one for work. the op sounds like they're saying it's their laptop because it's the one they use not because it's actually theirs that they bought. they sound sort of selfish to me

How the hell is OP "spoiled" in this case? His/her dad obviously bought the laptop for his own personal gain. OP's birthday just happened to be the perfect opportunity for the dad to use. You people who are saying that OP is "spoiled" are ******* retarded.

Don't let him take advantage of you like that.

See it that way: you've got your OWN laptop. The other one must have been owned by your father - he can rightfully do with it whatever he wants. Still FYL In case the old one was already yours: YDI for being a wuss and letting him do that to you
