Today, it's been almost two weeks since any of my relatives have talked to me. They are still mad because I didn't go on a Labor Day trip with them and I've found out why. Apparently, they had plans for me to babysit my younger cousins any time they wanted to do something fun. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML
Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML
Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML
Today, none of my family was at home. Turns out my one of my aunts was having a birthday party and all my relatives went, but nobody told me because they don’t like me coming around. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, after spending over $1000 on plane tickets, I'm visiting my family for the first time in five years. Two hours after I arrived, everyone is screaming at each other and taking their rage out on me. They still ask why I never visit. FML
Today, my whole family called me ungrateful and my parents are threatening to ground me because I turned down an invitation to go with my extended family to Hawaii for spring break. I literally just started a new part-time job, but they won't listen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good thing you didn't go. But if you had gone, I would have just refused to baby sit the little brats and go to something for yourself

Forget them.

Sounds like they must do that to you often. The one time they couldn't con you into babysitting they get mad. Oh well! You do have a life and a right to do your own thing.

They're just mad their trick didn't work. Hope they get over themselves. In the meantime, be happy that you got to (hopefully) do whet you wanted on Labor Day weekend instead of babysitting for free.

I've been there more times than I'd like to count. Stay strong, OP. Your family is in the wrong for trying to dictate your life.

I'm so glad you dodged that bullet. That's absolutely no way to vacation, being the convenient nanny for everyone else. And now you know to be wary of them whenever they invite you anywhere ever again. Aren't trust issues just ******* wonderful?

It's a good thing you didn't go then, serves them right for trying to dump their own kids on someone else. So selfish of them to think thats okay!

I would relish them not talking to me in that case, with family like that you're probably better off alone.
