Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML

Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML

Today, I found out on Facebook that my supposed best friend bought a concert ticket to a show. The concert ticket cost the exact same amount as the plane ticket she told me she couldn't afford to come see me. FML

Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML

Today, I generously paid for my best friend to go to an event she's wanted to see her whole life. Instead of thanking me, she brought her children and made me pay for them too, complained that I hadn't chosen the seats she wanted, then blamed me when she got on the wrong train back to her hotel.

Today, I thought I was doing a nice thing when I spent hundreds of dollars to get my friend a plane ticket home. She yelled at me when I gave it to her. Turns out, she planned on spending a few more months freeloading off me. FML

Today, my mother offered to pay for my tickets to go see my girlfriend who I haven't seen for 6 months. She was happy to pay for the £130 flight, but then refused half way through the purchase because she wasn't going to "let the buggers charge £13 extra" for using her credit card. FML

Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn't for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML

Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML

Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML

Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML

I wonder what your sister's friend did with your father to earn that plane ticket.

Obviously not. This wouldn't be a FML then.

Maybe this FML would be more #1's speed if it read. Today, my dad did not buy me a plane ticket. FML The issue is clearly ststed and to the point. No semi complex reading involved.

My point was, did OP even ask or let their dad know. If they didn't even ask, then they deserve it.

It seems that the dad may not have known about OP's cash flow problem. (I hope that's the case!)

That's terrible! I hope he ends up buying you a ticket! If he doesn't that's not fair!!

According to the FML, there would be no point in buying a ticket at this point

Eeeh no, I'm guessing it was sexual and also more than once and they're probably going to continue it pre and post ceremony.

I feel like there was a misunderstanding and your dad didn't know that you couldn't afford your ticket.

How can he not know whom to prioritize for the plane ticket? Sorry for you missing out on it. Not cool at all.

BobbieH 19

Monday 2 December 2013 22:47

You're assuming he didn't prioritize the plane ticket. Just because you are related does not mean you have any relationship. The sister getting married could have wanted her friend to attend and relieved her sister couldn't make it.

Welshite 39

Monday 2 December 2013 18:49

I know I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion, but to the people saying the Dad should have purchased tickets for both, I have to disagree. While it wasn't right what the dad did, he is under no obligation to purchase ANY ticket if he so chooses. I'm sorry you didn't make the wedding, OP. Financial problems suck.

iknowiwantyou 13

Monday 2 December 2013 18:53

well clearly in this case he chose to pay for his daughter's friend's ticket.

Welshite 39

Monday 2 December 2013 18:54

Did I not say he could choose what he purchases? I specifically said he was under no obligation if he didn't want to, not that he couldn't.

cryssycakesx3 22

Monday 2 December 2013 18:59

I have to agree welshite. Lol maybe the friend is nicer?

@ 9 I agree, this sounds like there is more to this too.

DavidKnows 11

Monday 2 December 2013 20:45

Yep. Sounds like the sister specifically ASKED Dad for this favor. If Dad is "involved" w this friend, he wouldn't be foolish enough to draw attention to the affair.
