Today, at my graduation for my high school GED, my parents said they were getting all my family and my girlfriend together. So we all went out to a steakhouse down the road, everyone ordered steaks. Turns out the 'surprise' was me paying. I only got 50$ grad money, and the bill was 159.98. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML
Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML
Today, I invited all of my friends to my graduation party, and even paid for them all to be there. They all didn’t show. FML
Today, I was delivering pizzas for my summer job. I got a big order to deliver for a fellow graduate's party. While I was being paid for the order my friend shows up and says "Don't pay him, his parents are rich, he can handle it." Then they shut the door and took off. The bill was $75. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, I was working my shift at a fancy restaurant and it had been a really hard day. My parents came in to have dinner and surprise me. After paying, they left a note saying they would see me at home. It also said "By the way, no tip, because you stink at serving." FML
Today, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML

Maybe they were making a point? My grades went bad, I lost my scholarship, so my parents stopped giving me money. You don't see me bitching about it...

Dude. You got a graduation party for a GED. The fact that you got ANYTHING for such a minuscule and easily-achieved "accomplishment" is totally awesome and testament to the fact that you have a family that cares about you more than you probably deserve. So what if you had to pay for it? You probably put them through hell...I mean, the people who get GEDs are usually ****-ups, and druggies, and yeah, its a big step to kick the shit and move on with your life, but the fact that you did all that stuff in the past kind of negates a big celebration for your minor little accomplishment. Use your GED to get accepted to college, graduate from THAT, and then you'll have a right to whine if you don't get some special treatment...

Really, 238? The "millitary" is the only valid reason for dropping out of high school? Not cancer? Not the death of a parent or sibling? Not being forced by circumstances to get a job and earn money? Good grief, people here are so judgmental. OP: Good for you for completing your GED, and please prove all these elitist assholes (and your rude family) wrong by doing something great for the world.

You know what make me happy? When the handful of nice people comment on FMl's and actually try to agree with the OP instead of finding a way to bash on them, I like the understanding people :D
