Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, I decided to pay a surprise visit to my family after I got some work leave. I drove over and knocked on the door, and a young couple answered. Apparently, my entire family decided to move to Texas, and didn't bother to tell me. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be all alone in this big house." FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML
Today, I wasn't able to reply to Facebook chat message immediately, so my friends planned a holiday and bought flights without me. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad called to say she wasn't allowed to come with me on a three-day trip on New Year's. He waited until Christmas to say it, even though we booked and paid for the trip nearly a month ago. Now he ruined both holidays. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you broke? Get a hotel. Where were you *planning* on staying? With your parents? That's a dick move to begin with (surprising them with house guests) why not stay at their place and just clean up after yourselves?

I bet they knew you were coming and fled so they didn't have to serve you and your family dinner.

Maybe you should have called and asked them what they were doing for Christmas and they probably would've told you that they were going out of town and you could've avoided this whole thing. Sorry, but, YDI!!

Wow, you could have called a couple of days earlier to checkout their plans, not necessarily knowing every mintue detail of their day, just enough to know abt their overall plan. YDI. You're just dumb.

well, if that were the case it wouldn't be such a big deal that he was 'homeless4christmas' since he could just hop back in his plane and fly home. i think OP just has bad grammar.

Hmmmm maybe you were out in the parking lot during geography....it's hot and sunny in NZ at Christmas, and peak holiday season so accomodation is hard to come by. Time to learn there's a whole lot more in the world than the US

Your parents are cool, they go on impromptu vacations at their age- I'm assuming they are past 50 if you have three kids already. YDI for thinking your parents are stuffy old farts waiting alone at home on Christmas Day for their relatives to surprise them!
