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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you not notice your dad hates you before? 'Cause he obviously does. FYL either way though. Unless you treat him and the rest of the family like shit, and that's the rason they hate you, then it's a YDI.

Tell him the same thing when he's older that you're gonna take everyone to Disneyland even your long lost 2nd grade friend and tell him that you can't afford it and bring up this very moment.

I'm not seeing the fml in this. So what? And apparently its relevant that you can or can't afford it so i'm guessing you're an adult or that everyone else had to pay also.

THE FML is in the fact that the father is paying for everyone in the family to go on a vacation, and even paying for someone who isn't family, but won't pay or bring his own daughter on the trip. A random girl that may not even be around a week after the trip is more important then his daughter evidently.

She doesn't own the house, what right does she have to have a party there? I suggest, if your mother is nice, moving in with her.

You're right, she doesn't own the house, but while her entire family and step-bro's girlfriend are having fun, the OP might as well too. She doesn't have to sit there bored out of her mind for a week. She can have fun and seek revenge all at the same time.

I don't agree with what her father did, but throwing a party in someone's house who already doesn't care about your feelings will only hurt the Op more. It would be an excuse to send her away or kick her out. Sure having fun while they are gone is one thing, ruining her father's home is another. As sucky as it sounds, he doesn't HAVE to take her on vacation. HE is an asshole for doing this, but she still doesn't have a right to. Parties always lead to vandalism. Vandalism lead to charges pressed. It would just hurt the Op more.

I've seen parties that didn't wreck the house. All you have to do is hide all the expensive stuff. Do that and cleaning everything else up is usually a lot easier.

That's dishonest. Does Op want to get kicked out? Her dad already doesn't like her, so this will just end up in the shitter. I would send my kid to military school if I found out they had a party. His home, his rules. His money, his vacation. Sucks ass but it is his choice. Why do people always have to throw parties, get drunk and destroy shit to make a point?

Doesn't apply to lifeforms you're responsible for. For human beings, your kin, your flesh and blood, for human beings you created. When you have a kid, your home is their home. You're their parents so establishing certain basic rules and teaching them right from wrong is quite necessary, but the whole bullshit "my house my rules" crap is getting on my nerves. It was like that when I was growing up, and I'm quite glad to be on my own now. I'd never dream of using that line to enforce a rule in my home, not with my own kids.

#160, I totally agree. And you don't necessarily have to "get drunk and destroy shit" when you have a party. Movies over-exaggerate partying way to much.
