Today, I surprised my daughter by telling her that I'm going to treat the family to a trip to the Himalayas in a few months. She promptly threw a tantrum and listed her main reasons for not wanting us to go: "It's a freaking desert there," and, "I'll miss the new Spiderman movie." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter asked me for permission to go to her boyfriend’s studio apartment without any supervision to “watch a soccer game and eat pizza.” I said no because she thinks I was born yesterday. She proceeded to throw a tantrum and told me that she hopes my breast cancer kills me. FML
Today, I excitedly told my parents I was going to India for an exotic vacation in two months. My dad responded with a "DO NOT REDEEM THE VACATION!" reaction in a racist voice while laughing. My mom snorted and fake-chastised him while also laughing. FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter threatened to run away. Why? We live in southern Arizona. In the last week, she's found a dead tarantula and a live scorpion in her bedroom. In a couple of weeks it will be rattlesnake season. She's not liking the desert much anymore, where even the plants want to hurt you. FML
Today, I bought tickets to Walt Disney World for myself and my 6 year-old. She just announced she's afraid to ride an escalator, to the point of tears. FML
Today, on my family vacation, I tried to put my foot down and declare that my daughter would absolutely not be babysitting anyone's kids. Everyone got mad and made us go home. FML
Today, I don't know why I bothered taking my family to the beach. All my wife wants to do is shop at the same crappy cheap chains she always goes to, and all my son wants to do is watch cartoons. Whenever I suggest anything different, they both throw tantrums. FML
Today, I surprised my wife with a spa day during our mini vacation with the kids. I booked her a facial and mani/pedi at the resort, figuring I would take the kids while she relaxed. Her reaction? "I hate the spa. Why would you waste that money? I'm not going." FML
Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML
Today, my daughter told me she would rather hang herself than hang out with me. All I did was remind her to go to bed at a reasonable time to get some sleep for an activity she likes doing. FML
Today, my boyfriend's family offered me the trip of a lifetime visiting their families overseas. My mother threw a tantrum, telling me that it was my fault that she was never able to travel, it was my fault that she got pregnant with me and had to marry my abusive father. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

i voted fyl because you daughter is an idiot who thinks the Himalayas are a desert, however while I would love to go there they might not be the first place I would think of to take most teenagers.

I'm sure she'll be stoked once you go

Technically she's right, a desert is a barren land devoid of water or a wide variety of organisms, whether it is hot or cold. She probably doesn't know that herself though, so FYL OP.

I would like to let everyone know a few things about Spiderman. #1. The Spiderman movies that came out with Tobey Maguire are not part of any of the spiderman comics. #2. The Amazing Spiderman, is actually the Spiderman that exists in the "Amazing" universe. So Mary Jane doesn't exist at all, Gwen is Peter Parker's love interest, his webs are from web shooters that he made himself, and the spider that bit him was not in fact part of a school field trip. #3. It is not a remake of the series, nor a reboot. It is its own universe, not relative to any other Spiderman universes. #4. "The Amazing Spiderman" movie is not spiderman number 4. #5. The "Amazing Spiderman" universe was the first one I believe in the Marvel Comics. #6. The reason that Spiderman is not in the Avengers, is because when Marvel did not have its own studio yet, they sold the movie making rights of Spiderman to Sony. After Marvel acclaimed Marvel Studios, Sony would not sell the Movie making rights of Spiderman back to Marvel. Sony, did not want to conjoin in the making of, "The Avengers." #7. The Green Goblin is actually not Harry's Father. This was made up in the Spiderman movie in the early 2000's. #8 I hope everyone here has learned something about Spiderman, and that it is infact, not part of the original Sony Spiderman movies. #9. Have a nice day, with your new spiderman Knowledge
