Miscellaneous: Today, I returned home from college and saw a framed picture...

Today, I returned home from college and saw a framed picture of my parents and my younger sister on an elephant in an exotic jungle. I pointed to the picture and asked my mom, "Is this some photoshop job?" She responded, "No, we went to Thailand for a family trip, didn't we tell you?" FML

Today, I came back from college and visited my parents house. There was a new family portrait hung over the mantel of my parents and 2 sisters. My mom had always wanted one but always postponed it. It was dated the day after I left for college. FML

Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML

Today, while over at a friend's house, I saw a framed picture of a young African boy on her fridge. I asked, "Oh, is this one of those kids you adopt from third world countries? My grandma does that too." She responded, "What do you mean? That's my cousin." FML

Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML

How romantic

Today, I received the photos my friend took of me proposing to my girlfriend. I'd proposed at the place we'd first met: the local zoo. When I looked them over, I noticed there was an elephant taking a shit in the background. FML

Today, I flew home from college to see my parents. Later I found the expensive painting and hand-made necklace I mailed to my mom for mother's day while taking out the trash. FML

Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML

Today, I looked at my sister's Instagram story, and saw her, my brother, and my father all on a family road trip to Reno without me. I wasn't told anything about it. FML

Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML

Today, I had to get my picture taken for a volunteer badge at the hospital. My sister came home and told my parents that she'd had a horrible day at work. They showed her my picture to cheer her up. FML

I had something similar happen to me. My dad went to India " on business" and couldn't bring my brother and me. He came back remarried with two new children. We never saw it coming but apparently it had been in the works for over a year

It does suck being the oldest, a lot of the time. I was 4 when my little sister was born. The only family trip we went on before she was born was to a family reunion the next province over. Now, I'm in university. It would suck if she got to go on vacation with my parents and I didn't. I totally feel for you.

Oh, man. I can't believe stuff like this happens :( Oh and the guy above me probably wasn't breast-fed as a baby.

well, if you must know, i was invited via them telling my parents, whereas my parents would then tell them that i can't go because i'm busy with school without relaying the message to me.

i would kill my entire family if they did that to me. KILL THEM. I hate it when they go to a restaurant without me. But i go to university in our home town haha so they have NO EXCUSE.

#27, they're not pissed they didn't get to go. They're pissed 'cuz they didn't even KNOW the family went! I could see how there's a major communication problem (on BOTH ends), but it doesn't excuse the fact that the family didn't at least try to call and say, "Hey, we're going out of town for a bit." My mom calls me almost every day, no matter what--even if I don't answer the phone for a few days straight. I'd know if they went to Thailand (and, hell, they'd probably invite me, or give me a good reason as to why I can't go and my little bro can). So yeah... total crap. Sorry. :(

I felt sorry for you at first and then I thought about it. I call my mom at least twice a day. You must clearly never call your family because if you did, you would have known, no excuses. They care enough about you to pay for your tuition, you could at least pay them back with a phone call. But yeah, they should've called you too, so it's not completely your fault.

How do you know they pay for the tuition? For all we know, OP could be on a scholarship that pays all of it, or he could be working for it, ooooor he could have taken up loans.

sounds like something my parents would do. when i was in highschool (so still living with my parents) they went to jamacia. they were planing the trip for almost a year and I found out 2 weeks beforehand that my aunt was going to be staying with me. I can see them not inviting you (you have school to worry about and getting behind is rough) but not telling you at all is harsh.
