Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Atleast you got a robe! I have two sisters that are older. When the oldest graduated, she got a BMW. When my other sister graduated, she got a puppy and new T.V. I got a dinner at Red Lobster and a new quarter for my collection.

Hey #55 **** you, go **** yourself! You’re a ****. These parents suck, clearly. I know the feeling, I’m 19 and in college with a perfect grade point average, pay all my own bills including cell phone and college expenses and my parents will not buy me a car, my sister is in her twenties and married with a job but my parents still pay her car note and completely supported her till after she was married. They told me that they could not afford a car. Bullshit.

okay, first of all, some bathrobes cost over $500. Also, every year, for my birthday i get a present that is way more expensivethat my little brother's. Im 14 and he is 10. My parents do not love me more at all. Just the things I get are more suited for me and the things he gets are more suited for him. This year, I got a laptop. He got a Wii. there is a $600 price difference. It doesnt mean ANYTHING. As long as they love you. Your expectations shouldn't have been so high. I have learned that it is a lot easier to aim low and score little and be happy with it than aim high, get average and be dissapointed. Just makes life a lot happier. And i did click FYL. i do feel bad for you. But it's not horrible. I don't think you deserve it, but next time, aim lower. And for all of you blaming the recession, no recession is to bad
