Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I discovered that my sister coloured in the pages of my college text books with Sharpie as "revenge." FML
Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, my nine-year-old niece found my coloring book that features swear words. I took it away and hid it in a different spot. No less than an hour later, her younger sister found it. FML
Today, my sister trashed all our family's antique books, saying, "I don't want a thousand old books written by dead white men." They were family heirlooms from the 19th century, and the whole collection was worth thousands. FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, my sister attempted to get me to fund her daughter, my godchild's, birthday party. I told her I would give her 200 (which isn't much). Our mom "intervened" by cussing me out for being a cheap ass piece of shit. I was about to give her $200, which is A LOT in our currency when exchanged. FML
Today, I found a notebook my 12-year-old sister had been doodling in. Turns out the "doodles" were poems full of obscenities and descriptions of how she wanted to hurt herself. When I showed it to my mom, she accused me of writing the notebook myself to frame my sister. FML
Today, I caught my sister eating crayons. She's 19. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is something like my mother and little sister would do...Until I tell my mam how much the thing costs and then she starts screaming at me for "wasting" my money on it or something...

That really sucks, but you shouldnt leave things like that lying around where little kids can get it. YLS and YDI.

Swell mothering. Can't say as I blame you OP, had a similar thing happen to me many years ago...some people just don't care about others. My suggestion, either explain the value of the comic and calmly open a dialogue about it...if that fails just chalk it up to experience and keep valuables safely hidden away.

as someone who collects manga and graphic novels like Johnny the homicidal maniac that hurt me when I read that luckily I had parents who knew to respect other peoples property my older brother who loved blowing up me and my sisters dolls had many an allowance taken to replace said dolls as punishment for blowing and or destroying the old ones sorry your mother doesn't respect your property OP I tell her to not expect any xmas/birthday/mothers day gifts until you can get a new copy of the comic basically say my money is going to replacing my comic

I like that approach. All $ that would normally have gone to your mom goes right into a savings account for the book. I HIGHLY recommend getting a locked box of some kind to put anything important into. Open it if your parents insist on seeing what's in it (not drugs) but lock it right back up. And if your little sis ever goes stomping about in your mom's expensive heels, or wears good jewelry, or gets into Mom's makeup, don't feel any real need to stop her. "Oh, you never wear them, I just figured those were some ugly old shoes you gave her to play with." Not unless Mom apologizes and does something to help make up for her carelessness and lack of concern for your personal stuff.

Go purchase a lockable trunk and put the things that are highly valuable in there, then wear the key around your neck or hide it well. I had to do this to prevent my sister letting her dog chew up some of my childhood toys.
