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, 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

Wish them a great time in Disney World. And yes, it's strange that you're not included.. but you can't force him to anything. Just expressing your disapointment that you can't join them is enough. On the plus side, you might be able to have a party at their place while they are on vacation? ;)

Depending on your age, this isn't so bad. If you're an adult and not living at home anymore you can't really expect them to pay for you to go with them on family trips.

I have a feeling you're onto something there. This is probably another grown mooch.

I'm sorry to hear that. But put it this way you get the house to yourself. :-)

He chose your step brother's girlfriend over you? That's ****** up. Your step brother's girlfriend can break up with him a day or two after they come back from Disney World or just before they board the plane. Resulting in your dad posting on fmylife.com about how he wasted money on some random ***** his stepson happened to be ******* at the time.
