Today, my parents told me they wouldn't be able to afford my senior portraits. That was fine with me, until I found some expensive professional photos in the mail. Of our dog. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I noticed my parents replaced my senior picture that hung on our living room wall with a painted one. Of our German Shepherd. FML
Today, I got my nails, hair, and makeup professionally done for prom. My dad got his camera out, and I presumed he was taking pictures of my date and me. When I looked at the pictures later, they were all of the dog. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my dad and his new wife got their wedding pictures done. Out of over 150 pictures, I was only in one. The family dog was in all of them. In the one picture of me, I was holding the dog's leash while he took a dump. FML
Today, I had to give up going to a therapist because it was too expensive and my parents couldn't afford it. Meanwhile, a girl in my class is getting a therapist for her dog. FML
Today, I got my graduation photos back. I'd sent them to a friend for touching up, but unfortunately we had a major argument recently. I guess that's why in the photos I've been photoshopped out and replaced with a goat. FML
Today, I was taking out the trash and I came upon a bill from a veterinary hospital. It was for $50 and it was a bill to put my dog down. My Dad said my dog was missing and I put hundreds of signs around the city. FML
Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML
Today, I came back from college and visited my parents house. There was a new family portrait hung over the mantel of my parents and 2 sisters. My mom had always wanted one but always postponed it. It was dated the day after I left for college. FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell them you hope when it comes time for the dog to pick out their nursing home, that it doesn't choose the pound.

Perhaps they want you to get a job.

Your parents are just trying to be polite when they said they "couldn't afford" your pictures. Do you really want them to tell you straight-up that you are ugly? Since they are too polite, I'll come right out and say it: Yes, those pants DO make your butt look fat, because your butt IS fat.

I guess the OP couldn't say they looked like a dog either. That'd be an insult to the favorite family member.

FYL. Your parents are complete twats, though. I love my dogs, but who the **** gets professional photos of them? Tell your parents I'll sell my TV to the dog for £300.

They do say a Dog is a mans bestfriend... on another note i say give yourself up for adoption or emancipate yourself coz when the dog becomes a higher priority than you, thats usually a sign to move on

Small trend in FML's of people saying "I couldn't get this simple thing done by admission of my parents..but then they went on to do something totes moar expensive."

Don't worry about it too much. I actually told my parents NOT to by my senior portraits because I thought it was stupid to spend money on a picture of me when they could just take one themselves. But, I guess the same goes for the dog. I mean, I understand that pets are part of the family, but professional pictures? Really?

What? Dog's don't deserve portraits too? Its the least you could do for the poor dog. He's probably your elder in dog years anyways. Plus, he never got the opportunity to get a high school education and make something of himself. (Well, I'm just guessing its a he) He's gonna be stuck with your parents until he dies. Animals are people too! But seriously, its not a big deal if they want professional pictures of their dog instead of you. He's probably just more photogenic. :)
