Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my grandparents thought it would be acceptable to give me and my wife Christmas presents to take to my ex-wife, along with a card saying how much they missed her and to get in touch with them next time she is in town. FML
Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce. However, they asked me not to tell any of the family so that the news doesn't spoil Christmas. Thanks, Mom and Dad. FML
Today, it's Christmas Day. Normally, my family would be opening gifts right now. Instead, my mom is holding our gifts hostage until we clean the house. Apparently, "The presents aren't going anywhere." FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad called to say she wasn't allowed to come with me on a three-day trip on New Year's. He waited until Christmas to say it, even though we booked and paid for the trip nearly a month ago. Now he ruined both holidays. FML
Today, my mom called me a bastard because I asked for the Target gift card my dad had given to me. FML
Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML
Today, I tried to reconcile with my estranged father after learning that all the things my mom said were lies to turn me against him. He refused and told me that he has a new daughter and that I'm not part of the picture. I know I deserve it but… FML

How exactly does this punish the father?

"Harold, we have to get back at our son. I know! Let's take away our granddaughters presents instead! It makes the most sense!"

That's what my grandparents did. Except we don't talk to them at all anymore. They didn't approve of us since we weren't Catholic and decided we weren't worth their time to even talk to. I couldn't care less about this gifts but it sucks that other people are going through a similar thing.

Your child does not need that kind of crazy negativity in her life. They have made a memory she won't soon forget. Don't give them a chance to make anymore like that. Don't walk. RUN!!!!!

I thought grandparents did the opposite in this situation? You know, I don't like your dad so I'm going to spoil the shit out of you and buy you everything so you like us more. Your parents are a bag of dicks and I hope your little girl had a wonderful Christmas anyway OP

Why does everyone think that your daughter's father is YOUR PARENT'S son? That doesn't make any sense people. If anything, he's a son-in-law, assuming they're still together. Sorry, OP. That's not fair to your little girl at all. Hopefully she still had an amazing Christmas though!
