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

It's nice to know that some people dwell on accusations that were never proven instead of respecting someone that died. He died. Grow up all of you 10 year olds and show some respect to a man that had more fans than you would ever dream of having.

why the hell would you spend that much money on your parents? Especially when Michael Jackson is known for delaying concerts or not showing up. I guess if they're really big fans.. but still, that's a little ridiculous.

Because the OP and his brother appreciate their parents, unlike you. Nice try on the YDI. Do something nice for your parents once.

My sister and her daughter are in a similar situation, however because my sister is a flight attendant, their flights to England and accommodation was free. The tickets were pricey though! Don't lose sight of the fact that a man has passed away however; and they have announced already their plans to refund over $50 million dollars worth of tickets.

Keep the tickets! They will be worth a fortune someday. My dad had tickets for Bob Marley's last scheduled show but Bob was ill and didn't make it. Like an idiot my dad got a refund on the ticket (like 12 bucks or something) and after a few years the tickets were worth there weight in gold!
