Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, was my graduation party. My birthday was about a week ago so my parents combined the presents. I thought it would be something big so I hinted for a new TV. I got a snuggie. FML
Today, my girlfriend gave herself a graduation gift: a new boyfriend. FML
Today, I received a really nice red satin set of underwear, with a bra, a thong and a corset... From my grandfather. FML
Today, it was my college graduation ceremony. My parents didn’t come because they “forgot”, although I told them and had been reminding them for months. Last year was my little sister’s high school graduation. My parents wasted no time going to her ceremony and then took her out to dinner. FML
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, I bought my mom a gift certificate for a spa treatment for two so we could spend some quality time together. She took my sister. FML
Today, my parents gave me a shirt from Banana Republic for my birthday. It looked like one I had bought for myself a couple of days earlier but I thanked them and went to hang it in my closet. An empty hanger hung where I placed the shirt I had purchased. They gave me my shirt for my birthday. FML
Today, was my mom's birthday. I recently got my first job, thanks to her, and could finally afford to buy her something nice. I spent my first paycheck ever on buying her a very nice bracelet. She said it was nice, then asked if I would mind if she exchanged it for one she actually liked. FML
Today, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. FML
Today, I got my first big promotion at work. Excited, I shared the news with my parents. My mom responded with, "That’s nice, dear, but your sister just got engaged," and hung up to go back to celebrating with her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

how funny, that's what i got for my 18th birthday from my parents, to add to the three i already had. My older brother got a computer. I guess bath robes are the universal sign of parental love.

I'm with #10. Sucks, but it's the truth.

Sorry, but I clicked "you deserve that one" the economy is tough on people, you sound spoiled. I might be wrong though, in that case ignore me

don't feel too bad my parents paid for 5 years of my sisters college 1 of which she was studying in australia, while still paying rent to an apartment in America and they won't pay for any of mine. Oh and I'm doing a full grade point better than her and am on the track to getting into top PhD programs. She is currently unemployed.

i work full time and go to school full time. i can barely find time to sleep, let alone relax and have fun (its spring break and im pulling 3 doubles this week!) for christmas i asked my parents for help with the rent so that i could cut back on my hours for finals/the first week of winter break. they promised they would, but "forgot" to send the check. because of this, i was over a week late on my rent and had to pay an extra 100 dollars in late fees and can be evicted if it happens again. my 18 year brother who has graduated high school, still lives at home and has never had a job got an ipod touch and a new playstation. parents who play favorites are the worst.

I always measure my parents' love for me in the material possessions they give me. It's totally valid and reasonable. YEAH CONSUMERISM

I'm sceptical. Maybe your older two sisters graduated from university, and you (for now) just secondary school. That explains the discrepancy in gift cost...

that would make sense. when my brother graduated from college he got wayyyy more than me but that's because I graduated from high school at the same time.

I'm going with #10. Economy is crap. You gotta be careful with the spendings. I doubt that means they love you less.
