Today, my brother and I were going to give our parents their anniversary gift which cost us over $3000. The gift was a trip to London in August to see a show on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. FML

Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML

Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML

Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML

Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML

Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML

Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML

Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML

Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML

Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML

Oh man I hope who's ever handling MJ's affairs gives everyone their money back. Or do what ##258 said, that's pretty cool.

I think what he meant to say was that it's pissing him off that the media tried to tear him down when he was alive, but is praising him now.

Well, if I'm not mistaken the tickets were only a fraction of the $3,000 dollar present, right? A trip to London still sounds wonderful! The concert ticket situation is just so entirely unfortunate, but I'm sure they will be grateful for the thought and effort you put into the gift.

R.I.P MJ Hope you get your money back from the plane ticket and can do something more appropriate with it. I think you should still give your parents the ticket to be framed and maybe sold later on for a huge profit, but until it will be profitable I think it would be a great gift and your parents will love you for the gesture. Don't take the advice from some FML users to not mention the MJ tickets. Its awful that this great gift went down the drain, you wont find a better or equal gift!. FYL indeed.
