Today, I had to cancel all of the plans to go away on a romantic weekend with my boyfriend. My parents are going out of town for a night and I have to stay home a babysit my little sister. She's 19. FML

Today, instead of going to a romantic dinner with my boyfriend like I'd planned, I ended up babysitting his queasy little sister. FML
Today, it was supposed to be date night but my sister's husband was taken to hospital, so I agreed to to babysit my nieces. My boyfriend went out drinking by himself because, “it’s not his fault I have nieces and can’t say no to my sister, so why should his night be ruined?” FML
Today, my mom tried to force me to stay home from work to babysit my sister and her “boyfriend”. I snuck out and went to work anyway, because I hate being around them. FML
Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML
Today, my mom left me at home with a babysitter. I'm 17. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML
Today, my fiancé left to take care of his little sister who lives alone and recently got COVID-19. To be cautious, he will remain there for weeks until he tests negative. Feeling lonely, I texted my mom for comfort. She immediately canceled our engagement party this summer instead. FML
Today, my dad and stepmom insisted on having a babysitter stay with me while they go off on their 3-week vacation. I'm 22 and work full-time. FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You're obviously an adult, since your little sister is 19. YDI for not just saying "no, I have plans." Don't blame others because you lack a spine.

Yes, follow everyone's advice and tell your parents no so they can kick you out. It's a brilliant plan conceived by thoughtful people. Your parents will no longer be able to use their ownership of the house to control you and you'll be free to pay for your own place, grow up, and do as you please. YDI

I'm presuming by the fact you've posted this on FML, your sister isn't special needs, so FYL. However, if she is, then still, FYL. If your parents knew about the weekend you had planned, then they more than likely did this to stop you from going out. Whilst people are saying YDI if she's mentally handicapped, it's still a FYL because your parents are clearly the selfish ones.

Is your sister mentally disabled? Or recently had a injury? FYL, anyway. This FML seems out of context, though.

I feel your pain... After my boyfriend and I had bought our house and moved out of our parents houses, his mother tried to make him come back home for a week to baby sit his 23 year old brother. Who is not special needs at all. I can't tell you how many weekends and trips were cancelled before we moved out, because he had to "babysit" or he would have been thrown out...

YDI for being older than 19 and still living with mommy and daddy.
