Today, my mom had the option of choosing anywhere in the world where we could go on vacation. We live in the USA and she chose to fly to Texas, rent an RV, and drive to Florida. Anywhere in the world. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I can’t afford a “real” vacation, I’m trying to get my car converted for camping in time for what promises to be perfect weather next week. Meanwhile, my mom booked a trip to Switzerland. For next week. Guess who gets to stay home and feed the animals? FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. 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 mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. 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, 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
Today, while living in Florida, I had a conversation with my mother explaining that it might be best for me to come back home. Her response, "Don't worry, they have plenty of homeless shelters down there if you need a place to stay." Thanks Mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML
Today, I came home after spending the past two months at summer camp, just for my parents to excitedly announce that I'm going to be spending the next two weeks in Florida with my grandma. We have to leave in literally a couple hours. FML
Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML

From what I understand, Texans believe they ARE the world, so maybe she felt she had no other choice.

Maybe she wants to relive a childhood vacation where she remembers fondly her parents driving from TX to FL? Although, I personally would have chosen to go to Fiji and rented one of the bungalows on stilts right there on the ocean.

Or it could be a way to have her entire family stuck in the RV and forced to interact and bond with each other.

America not good enough for your vacation? Seen all 50 states and understand all the cultures in your own country already? What am I saying of course you have, you understand all the cultural diversities of America all its history and now you're ready to go see the rest of the world.....

I've made that trip so many times and love it every time. You're so lucky!

You're still getting a vacation. You should have made the arrangements if you wanted specifically to leave the country. It's obviously what your mother wanted. Not everyone wants to leave the country. If you're under age, then what you want isn't really a concern. Be thankful you get a vacation at all. It seems to me that if its your mothers choice where you go on vacation then you aren't in a position to make the arrangements. Stop being ungrateful.

Not everyone makes the best of choices, but it was her choice unfortunately. Hopefully you will find fun in the southern states.

Haha. That's funny. Maybe she doesn't want to have to learn another language in order to go on vacation. Also don't need passports. You can use US money instread of having to trade it all for whatever currency you'd need. And sometimes driving relaxes people. (:

I would love that :/ you get to stop anytime and take in the view.. Eat at different places and take pictures..meet alot of people.. Sleep anytime and shop more because its cheaper to drive. I think you should look at the positive :)
