Today, I'm the only grandchild who regularly visits, calls, and runs errands for my grandparents, even though I live two hours away. I'm also their biggest disappointment because I'm not married. FML

Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML

Today, my family had dinner with my future in-laws for the first time. After a bottle of wine to herself, my mother loudly insisted that I'm out of her will. Apparently, I "molest towels" and leave them to "fester for days" in my "den of depravity". I'm sure they'll give me their daughter now. FML

Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML

Too late

Today, as I was planning my impending nuptials with my fiancé, my sister jokingly told him it's not too late to call it off. He took her seriously and bailed. He won’t answer my calls. FML

Just go with the flow and ignore it. I am 41, married, have kids, and my grandma still thinks I am gay, all because I didn't care about girls when I was a teenager. As long as you are happy with your life the way it is, who cares what the grandparents think.

If I've learned anything from rom-coms, it's that hiring an actor to play your husband will result in marriage. You should start taking tips from movies. It's guaranteed to work.

If you don't want to get married now/ ever that's fine. But if you ever DO want to get married you are automatically their favorite and you will get the most money when they die.

Remind them that if you were married and had kids you would not have the time to visit them and run errands for them.

I guess that's the reason why my grandparents don't like that Frozen movie.

You should really call them on that. It's a really negative way to look at the life of a person they love and who is good to them.

Grow up and tell your family to help you. If you don't then that's your fault

Maybe their attitude is the reason their other grandkids don't visit them.

Sounds like they wouldn't miss the visits, and you could safe yourself a lot of time and hassle. Although, depends on whether ot not you actually enjoy being around them, or if you're just dojng it all to be nice to them.
