Kids: Today, we were going to Disney World all the way from North Carolina....

By jaimie - 19/03/2011 16:00 - United States

Today, we were going to Disney World all the way from North Carolina. After 12 hours of driving, my kids started fighting and complaining. My husband finally said, "If I hear you guys one more time we're turning around and going back home." They annoyed him once again, and we actually went home. FML

Today, I drove 12 hours with 6 screaming little girls. They were arguing about things that should've been in the Lego movie. They watched it 4 times. FML

Today, I left for a fifteen-hour drive with two guys who won't stop talking in a Yoda voice. Sick of this nonsense, I am. FML

Today, during a never-ending dinner with really boring friends, I faked being tired and told my husband, "Let’s go honey, we have a long way to drive home." He looks at me and says, "Well… we are at home." FML

Not so Magic Kingdom

Today, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of going on a family trip to Disneyland. Less than two hours in the park, my kids have been scared shitless by every single character, they don’t want to ride any rides, my husband is drunk, and the mouse ears headband gave me a vomit-inducing migraine. FML

Today, my family is on the third day of driving cross country. My husband is still pretending he is driving on a NASCAR track, sound effects and all. FML

Today, my husband put myself and our 3 year-old on a plane back to the other side of the US, because he “just can’t” with us anymore. FML

Family day

By Anonymous - 09/06/2023 01:30 - India - Puducherry

Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML

Road trip

By kanepie - 05/07/2019 04:03

Today, we were driving home from NYC to Knoxville after our flight got cancelled, and we had to drive with 3 strangers for 13 hours. We are now stuck in Who-Knows-Where, Virginia, with two blown tires, because a metal plate fell off an 18-wheeler in front of us. FML

Best vacation ever

By anon - 16/07/2022 18:00

Today, I've been on vacation with my friend and his family for a week. Apparently, his idea of a vacation includes constant screaming arguments with his wife, while their kids sob in the living room. I tried to take the kids out once and got a lecture on boundaries, which started another huge fight. FML

Driving me mad

By Username - 06/07/2010 22:21 - France

Today, at the crack of dawn, I started a 700-mile road trip with my three children. So far, I've stopped four times, settled several arguments, cleaned up spilled yogurt and melted silly putty. 130 miles down, 570 to go. FML

EVERYONE here that agrees with what the father did sounds like they have never been kids! Do you think you ever KNEW and took advantage of your parents not following through? I never schemed or kept doing horrible things because I knew my parents wouldn't follow through, following through like THIS cannot be justified for this reason. And it's not like the kids were banging on the walls, jumping out of the car, or doing anything outragous, it just says that he got 'annoyed.' Would you cancel a long-planned, solid vacation because you got 'annoyed'? That's crazy. I'd divorce his controlling ass if he kept it up, taking the kids with me.

Yeah the kids are really messed up for acting up after 12 hours in a hot car with nothing to do. The dad is a complete ass, there was no need to do that unless the kids had put him and the rest of the family in serious danger. They were probably whining a bit or annoying each other

Straight up he was right. Was he an extremist? Yes, absolutely... but never again will those kids forget that when dad says something he means it. Kudos dad. Way to prove you cant be messed with.

FINALLY. A parent who follows through. A kid can tell when the threat is empty. My dad did that once at the pony farm. I was pissed but I never fought in public again.
