Today, my dad found the Father's Day present that I spent at least ten hours preparing and decorating. I'd expected him to be extremely happy about this lovely gift. His only reaction was to ask if he could exchange it for something else. FML

What a catch
Today, rather than get me a birthday present, my boyfriend just got angry that I got gifts from other people. Apparently, it "made him feel guilty." FML

Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My father didn't get me a birthday present or do anything for me, and acted as though he only came to visit because it was expected. Yet when it was his birthday a couple months ago, he expected me to take him out and pay for it FML

Happy birthday indeed
Today, it was my birthday. I had an appointment at the dentist and went to do some shopping after that. A while after I got home, I met my dad and he just started complaining that I didn't spend any time with them on my birthday. When I tried to explain to him, he just got angry at me and started yelling. FML

The blame game
Today, I'm mad at my dad for forgetting it's my birthday. He's mad at me for not reminding him. FML

Today, I heard my dad complaining that he won't be able to go to a concert, because it's happening on my birthday. This is the first time he's even acknowledged my birthday in over ten years. FML

Today, I found out I have to give my father-in-law back the football tickets he gave me for my birthday. Why? His girlfriend decided she wanted to go. He didn't get me a different gift. FML

Miserable parenting style
Today, my mom was going to take me shopping to buy a gift for my dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, I missed a spot while cleaning the kitchen. Now my mom is “embarrassed to be seen with me in public” and will buy my dad nothing, and tell him it’s because I don’t love him. FML

Good luck finding him a present then considering it seems like everything's made there.

It's hard to find something not made in china

I know how you feel, op. My dad is the same way. I usually make him handmade things because I know how he is..men are hard to shop for anyways

and then the materials are most probably made in china too..

My sister is the same way. After hearing about sweatshops throughout the world, she started to protest products made in China and even refused my souvenirs from Disney. If the OP's dad (and yours as well) are passionate about their reasons, I can't knock them for wanting one person, at a time, to try and change how things are.

Get him a Toby Keith album with the songs "American Soldier" and "Made In America." He might like that.

You forgot "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue"
SweetasCandy0609 28
but OP'S dad could say that Toby Keith's parents conceived him in China so he was also made in China.

What if the CD or case was made in China?

Just to let you know, even if it says that it is not made in China, about 85% of the components that are inside are made in China....

cheap, plentiful labor will do that to an economy

Tell him it's made in the good old US of A but the "made in china" tag is added for tax purposes.

Everything is made there

He obviously wanted something made in Taiwan.

that means he wants something local made..I suggest go to farmers market...I bet they have food that is local made..

Because those are the only two possible places that anything can be made right? Maybe OP's dad just has something against China or Chinese but not other places.
