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.

Or you could appreciate your mom for taking you on vacation at all? I doubt that she had that opportunity without the trip costing her or costing someone close to her, and Texas may have been the affordable option - or just the appealing option to her. Ultimately, turn 18 and you'll wish someone would fly you to Texas and drive you to Florida for free!

I'm willing to bet y'all live in Florida as well.

You live in Texas. Don't you?

Well... ask her why she chose that. It could be some dream of hers or for a sentimental reason. If that's not the case, LOL, suggest something a little more interesting.

Did it ever occur to you that that's the only vacation she could afford? You should be grateful that she took you anywhere at all.

Hey, Texas is great! It's not a bad thing to explore your own back yard.

America is a huge and beautiful country. You can travel to only a handful of states and see more diverse landscaps than many countries. stop whining

Similar thing happened when I was a baby. My mom chose Cleveland, Ohio over Paris...
