Today, I took my parents and 3 sisters to the airport so they could take a trip to Hawaii. I wasn't invited because they don't like my husband. They asked me to watch the dog and water the plants. FML

What logic is that?
Today, my parents lectured me on whether it was a good idea to let my girlfriend stay at the home of her ex boyfriend… and his husband. I’m 44 and trust her. My parents didn’t trust this logic and doubled down. FML

Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML

Even more lonely now
Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be all alone in this big house." FML

tell them they might as well bring the dog with them, it would make a good playmate for your ex.

Wheres the family loyalty??

The parents aren't necessarily jerks, they just for some reason really like OP's ex. I've seen this happen before, parents love an ex just as much as their children.

18: But no one can replace your own children. They have to consider their feelings first.

I agree 18; just because a couple breaks up doesn't mean that everyone (including the parents) has to pick one or the other. What if you still want to be friends with both? As for real-life examples, both my sisters have made it very clear that if my fiance and I ever break up they will take him over me. I took it as a good sign for how well he fits with the family and while I'd be annoyed if they actually picked him over me, I wouldn't begrude them if they stayed friends in the event of a breakup

My Aunt divorced her husband and remarried another guy who she had kids with. But her ex mother in law still visits her because she knows how her son is hardheaded and she said she will always have feelings for my aunt.

You should have gone with them and made it really awkward for your ex. Extra points for you if you get really drunk and make a speech.

Woah.

Embarrass your ex by telling stories about her to everyone. Get drunk and have fun! Make a fool out of yourself and your parents and PARTY! Until you get thrown out :)

Your parents are more loyal to your ex than you.

Nothing to do with loyalty. If OP made te ex a part of the family then say cheated. How is that fair to the ex or the family? No one knows the circumstances.

Aww sucks op, hope you like the dog :)

does a dog really need a sitter if parents will only be gone like a few hours?
baconstrips 12
Well no but I guess op doesn't really have a choice

Why would op wanna go to there ex's wedding anyways?
karagarren 8
I don't think she wanted too. I think it just makes her upset her parents want to go. that is a weird situation. but then again I bet my ex's mom is coming to my wedding. she's under close with all her sons gfs and friends
