Today, I read my mom's Facebook status. It said, "So sick of kids, can't wait for Vegas this week!" My dad, along with 12 others, liked it. I didn't even know she was going to Vegas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom made a Facebook status about me: "My daughter is on her rags and won't shut the fuck up #annoyingbitch". FML
Today, I found out that the vacation my mom has been planning to "repair our relationship" was just an opportunity to change her Facebook profile picture. FML
Today, I decided it would be pretty amusing to press the "Like" button on everyone's status on Facebook without reading them just to get on peoples' nerves. After re-reading them later, I found out one of them said "I MISS YOU SOO MUCH GRANDMOM. RIP". I liked that her grandmother died. FML
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Today, I was checking the Facebook event page to see who is attending the party I am having this weekend, since my parents are going out of town. 1 person has confirmed. My mom. FML
Today, after telling my mom that I'll be going to Las Vegas with my dad for my 21st birthday, she started ranting about how my dad always wanted to abort me and that she was the only one who actually wanted me. FML
Today, my dad's new girlfriend, who he met in Vegas, flies in. My mother is still alive in a dementia care facility. I don't know how to feel about this. FML
Today, my mum thought it was perfectly acceptable to post a status on Facebook about how well she is healing up after her hemorrhoid surgery, and tag me in it. FML
Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML
Today, my girlfriend "accidentally" set her relationship status to "single", and 20 of my friends "liked" it, including my mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

God, you people are harsh. Family members generally should give each other at least a heads up before something like that, for safety and such. Not to mention the fact that the wording makes it sound like the OP is a minor. So the mom is a **** for not even telling her own child that she's going on vacation. What kind of relationship is that? They may as well just disown each other and never speak again.

Yeah, I know. So many people are so stupid about this. I see the OP as young, so why are people acting like it's no big deal for the mom to just take off like that without warning (except via Facebook)?

Exactly! I guess the mom was just going to let the kid wake up one morning to find her gone and freak out. Or if she was killed, injured, went missing, etc. the cops would be like, "Ok, when did you last see your mom and where was she going?" Kid: "Um, I saw her like a week ago. She wasn't planning any vacations any time soon."

Maybe the kid just never paid attention. the mother hasn't left yet. nothing wrong with saying, "Dad and I are going on vacation, you're staying at grandmas" at the last minute.

Your mom cares about you! She's gonna be big as a hooker and make a lot of money to support you.

@ Intoxicunt- Maybe she plans to tell the kid(s) right before she leaves. I've done that before, when they were young enough to need a baby-sitter, and I didn't want to spend the whole time before the trip hearing them whine about staying with their Grandparents. I really didn't like to go away without them, but needed husband time away. I already felt bad about it, and didn't need the extra guilt trip. Then when they were older and were going to have the house to themselves, I'd give them as short notice as possible to give them less time to plan parties. Just in case the threat of never knowing who might be popping in at any time to check up on things didn't keep them honest.

Yes, Mom's can have lives and complain about them too, but get off the OP's back. For all you guys know, it may be the OP's brothers or sisters who are the kids that are driving their mother nuts instead of the OP. And the mother should at least tell the family that she's going to Vegas, in case of emergency.

Parents should at least notify their children before going on vacations. If they just take off, the children could report them missing.

When they're gone, you can throw a party! :D Just don't put it up on your facebook, or else your parents may not go on said cruise--and then they'd be stuck with you longer, you don't want THAT now, do you?

First off, I hope you don't think your life is ****** because she isn't bringing you with her. That's selfish. She wants a vacation away from you. Let her have it. You'll have plenty of vacations in your lifetime. Second, if you think your life is ****** because she said she's sick of her kids, well.. who cares? It was definitely rude of her to post it on Facebook but parents get tired of us. They wish we would go away. Get over it. In any case, she should have notified you. It's nice to get a heads up about where your parents are going.
