Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML

Today, my stepmother proved once again that she likes to play favourites. She has no job, so anything she gifts comes from my dad’s account. On my last birthday, I got £5 on a cheap card. Today, my step-brother's birthday, he got £400 and an iPad. He’s 4 years old. FML

Today, my parents got me a new computer for my birthday. They also took the liberty of throwing out my old computer, with 8 years of photos, videos, music, documents, emails, and bookmarks on it. But that's okay, I had a backup. They threw that out too. FML

Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML

Sounds fair enough
Today, my dad came up into my room and told me that as a consequence of breaking my MacBook in anger, he’s punishing me by helping him with yardwork every single hour of the day. FML

my dad once bought my sister an iPhone 5s for my birthday. I got a 2 liter of Pepsi.

When it's your parent's birthday give a gift to the other and act confused if they ask why.

My mom yelled at me for wanting 2 shirts that would cost $20 all together saying she didn't have enough money to buy me a bunch of unnecessary things (I haven't gotten new clothes other than as Christmas or other type gifts for 2 years) and my little sister got an iPhone 6+ for no reason today.

Sweet, at least the parents were smart enough to invest in a Mac that was designed to last many years .

Im 15 and all i got was a card. My cousin that is 9 got a macbook. I promtly bought my own macbook, the new 12" one, and brought it to florida during vacation. That same cousin destroyed it because "its not fair that i get the new macbook, even if i paid for it".

Just as long as he doesn't go on anything inappropriate or orders anything without permission he's fine in my opinion.

Read the FML again a LIIIIITTLE closer. It's not that OP is worried about what sites her brother is going to come across.
