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

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.

Wow, this is something that should've been on that episode of Bullshit about pets. That's nuts. Taking your own pictures of a pet is one thing, but professional photos? And purchasing it with money that could've been spent on pictures of your own child? That's just wrong. Seriously.

Honestly, FYL but think of it this way. It's really your parents' loss, not yours.

Your entitlement complex, get over it. Your parents don't owe you a damned thing, and they're allowed to spend their money on whatever they want. If you want pictures, how about if YOU buy them?? Welcome to the grown-up world, dear.

Sure, her parents don't technically owe her a damned thing - but that doesn't mean they aren't being total assholes and selfish pricks by treating her like that. And you sure are portraying a ****** up image of the grown-up world claiming that their behaviour is in line with it. It's not. What they did was unbelievably out of taste. I sure as hell hope you don't ever have kids.

Kellster, her parents do owe her... they chose to give her life. "Because you brought me into this world. And from that day you owed me everything you could ever do for me like I will owe my son if I ever have another. But you don't own me! You can't tell me when or where I'm out of line, or try to get me to live my life according to your rules." Thank you Sidney Poitier.

Kellster, there are a few things I'd like to say to you. One, you are an IDIOT and like a few other people, read this FML completely wrong. Her parent's told her that they couldn't AFFORD her senior portraits. She said that that was OKAY. As in she didn't want them that much. The FML is that her parents lied to her and spent the money they "didn't have" for her portraits on portraits for the dog. If they had just been straight up with what they were doing with her in the first place and asked if she was okay with not have senior portraits, it would probably be fine. Two, I hope you never reproduce. The fact that you think her parents lying to her is "part of the adult world" and that its OKAY is just plain wrong! Her parents shouldn't have lied to her, PERIOD. God, seriously, just shut the **** up, I hate people like you! You say "your parents don't owe you a damned thing" SERIOUSLY? ******* HYPOCRITES! If you can HONESTLY tell me that you never expected your parents to pay for ANYTHING for you and if you wanted something (like clothes, food, etc) than you got a job and paid for it yourself your ENTIRE LIFE (including after birth, remember, your parents don't owe you a damned thing, according to your twisted ideals) then I take back what I said about you being a hypocrite. However, if your parents paid for something for you as a child, then just shut the **** up you filthy hypocrite and stop preaching your backwards ideals on others when you don't follow them yourselves. Alright? Now that we've cleared this up, have I mentioned I hate people like you and to, um, shut the **** up?

Have you even ever had a ******* pet? They shouldn't be priority over a child, but they are pretty awesome.

Damn OP, I'd hate to have parents like yours. I'll never understand people who love their animals THAT much. It's just a dog. Any parent that would put a pet before their own kid fails miserably. Anybody that treats their dog like a person are really strange. I mean, not only dogs but any pet. I like cats myself but the only money I spend on him is for food and vet bills, not ridiculous photos.
