Today, I got a call from the head of my school dance committee saying that the dance was cancelled and the services originally hired were still expecting to be paid. The reason the dance got cancelled? One of the girls on the committee's parents wouldn't let her buy her dream dress. FML

Today, the girl who'd asked me to prom told me she assumed we weren't going together and is now going with her friends. After agreeing to go with her, I'd bought a $200 non-refundable suit along with the ticket. I have no one else to go with. FML

Today, my daughter's school was putting on a fashion show for charity and all the kids were supposed to ask their mothers to be in it. I asked my daughter about it and she said, "Well, I was going to ask you, but they said to only "ask all of your beautiful mommies." FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

Today, I was chatting with a friend on msn. She told me a few days ago a Halloween party we had been planning was canceled because her parents said no at the last moment. Wanting to cheer her up, I went to her house to surprise her. I guess the party wasn't canceled after all. FML

Today, I called a company to see why the dress I’d ordered for my best friend hadn’t been delivered. After doing some digging and ruining the surprise, it turns out it had been. Her boyfriend opened the package, deemed the dress "too slutty" and threw it out. He refuses to pay me back. FML

Today, I overheard my soon to be step-daughter telling her friend on the phone that she hopes that me and her father's wedding is just a big joke and that he isn't really going to go through with it. I just dropped five grand on a dress and venue. She's in for a surprise. FML

Today, I got a missed call from a lady at an employment agency asking why I hadn't turned up to an information session for a potential job. Yesterday, the same lady told me the job position was canceled. FML

Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

Today, after my dad told me to sign my daughter up for expensive dance lessons as a birthday present, and she was ecstatic and very dedicated, I asked him for the payment for this month. He replied, "Oh, she wanted more than one lesson?" Now she won’t stop crying and I have no way to pay. FML

Is there no adult advisor to tell this whiny girl that the show must go on even if she has to wear her second favorite dress?

Let her parents pay for the invoices then. I think you all worked hard to raise the money for this evening, so it's not fair.

Wow. That sucks, OP. Hopefully there will be more chances to have a dance.

Wait...why should her parents pay? If anyone should have to pay, it's the bratty girl who cancels an entire dance because she can't have her way. Parents have the right to say no to buying things for their kids. It's time to grow up now.

I totally agree. its not the parents fault their whiny little brat of a daughter called off the dance because of a dress. and they have a right to decide what dress she can or can not get unless she pays for it herself.

Then they should make her pay for it. She can work it off, and learn that your little inconveniences can cost a lot of hard earned money.

I really dont understand this FML. I dont see how any adult, teacher, principal, etc, would allow the dance to be called off for that. No way an entire school dance would be left just to the students so where the hell is the adult to step in? Is OP the adult in charge of the bratty kids who decided to cancel it and expect the OP to pay out for what they already did? If thats the case OP needs to man up and tell the kids to get over themselves and the dance is not cancelled... if thats not it, Im truly confused.

Well I'm pretty sure that the they will have to have the show go on with or without that girl. Schools don't/can't pay for cancelled services. Adults needs to now take over the problem and get it sorted out. If they do pay for cancellation then you can kiss the program goodbye cause that's where they will cut 1st.
