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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I learned that my brother isn't going to have a funeral because my dad and stepmom can't afford one. FML
Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML
Today, my husband and I had to cancel our family Disney World trip because my mom stole and gambled away all of our spending money. Our kids are still crying and throwing tantrums and don't understand why we can't afford to go anymore. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, my dad asked me how I would feel about going on an all-expenses-paid, month-long holiday to the Caribbean. I was ecstatic and broke into tears of joy, saying I'd love it. He replied, "Yeah, me too. Shame it ain't happening!" then left for work, laughing his arse off. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, my parents said we can't go to our grandma's funeral because it's going to be held in Hawaii in accordance with her wishes and we can't afford to travel. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Okay, I know this was a loooooooong time ago, but #93? really? Wtf is your problem? And that's so sad!!! My computer is spazzing, can't see if OP wrote anything after original post. Could you tell us the whole story (ages, relationships, etc.?) Because Making up your mind based on bits is evil and stupid Though you dad deserves to have his face scribbled over in ermanent marker the day before he has to go... hint, hint? ;) And this could score you some major pity points (you (talking loudly to friend): "...and he took my brother girlfriend instead of me! He's so evil!" cute guy (or girl, if that's the way you roll): "*gasp* that's so sad! What can I do to help?")

DISNEY WORLD is different than Disneyland. I have been every year with my family. There are tons of different parks and I wouldn't want to get left behind.

I'd chew all your family out in front of her. She's not "Family" until there's a legally biding contract and ring on her finger saying you are. Blood is thicker then water.

Your dad is terrible. When you become independant, please tell him to f*** off for me, ok?
