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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

Pay for a ticket yourself. Seriously I hate it when people expect their parents to pay for everything. Be independent. However, depending on the family maybe the alone time while they are gone is the real vacation.

What the ****? Whenever my parents had a family vacation, I didn't pay for my own ticket -_- I'm guessing the OP is 16.

inviolentlight: That's a little harsh, don't you think? How do you know how old she is? How do you know that she's not a full time student and thus canonly work minimal hours, if any at all? Or, better yet, how do you know that, even if she WERE able to buy the ticket, that her father wouldn't take her anyway due to lack of space in the car, etc.? The point here isn't that a ticket wasn't bought for her, it was that a ticket WAS bought for someone who wasn't even (technically) family, but not her.

Really heartless to tell he's taking the whole family- except you. Black sheep are we now? What you'd do to piss him off so bad?

you know, maybe, just maybe, this ISNT the ops fault? Nah, people never do bad things out of the blue, so the OP must have done something bad out of the blue

Take a dump in his shirt drawer every day he is gone. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

What kind of dumps are you taking; definitely not cold.

A fellow Michigan post. If you need to make extra $ there is always 8 mile. Not sure what reacharounds go for these days though, but you could probably make $300 on a good day.
