Today, I asked my dad why there were no photos of me on the wall. He replied, "Every time you disappoint us we burn one." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my dad why he only has pictures of me from when I was a little kid. Without skipping a beat, he said, "I only keep pictures from when I liked you." 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, my dad died recently and as I was going through photos of his bucket list trip to Paris, I realised I’m not in a single damn one of the photos. Why? Because during all the big photo moments, I was the stupid bastard taking the pictures. Now I have no photos of us together on his last trip. FML
Today, my dad stopped me mid-sentence and said he wanted to punch me in the face and set me on fire for using the word "selfie". FML
Today, my family was cleaning out our basement when I noticed an empty wall. I asked my grandma if I could put a picture up. She replied, "I don't want your ugly drawings on the wall". I wasn't talking about my drawings. FML
Today, my 16-year-old daughter burned all her baby photos because they were unflattering and made her "look fat". FML
Today, I went to my parents' place to visit. My ex-boyfriend's photo is on the fridge, but there aren't any photos of my husband or any of our wedding photos. FML
Today, I rummaged around in the attic, looking for old pictures of me and my family, so I could make a surprise collage. Instead, I found my dad's old journals, talking about how desperately he didn't want a kid, and how he wanted to leave my mother more and more every day that passed since I was born. FML
Today, my boyfriend took a picture of us together because he wanted to have something to burn when we break up. FML
Today, I paid a surprise visit to my parents, after having moved out for university last year. My room had been stripped bare and all the family photos featuring me were missing from the wall. When I asked why, my mom asked me in return why I was asking stupid questions. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's kind of hilarious. I'm sure he was joking though.

Oh, really? I'll burn your photos then, and see how you like THAT. Jerk.

No #1, not really

Better than your dad saying "because you're ugly"

Haha calm down 8. Since when is it bad for parents to joke with their kids? Quit being so uptight.
ClassyCommando 13
For some reason I instantly thought of the "Son, I am disappoint" picture...
THE_A_TEEN 28
Yes jasmine1259, parents burn pictures of their kids because they disappoint them for shots and giggles. Honestly, that's a sign that you hate your kid, no humour in it.
THE_A_TEEN 28
Yes jasmine1259, parents burn pictures of their kids for ***** and giggles. Honestly, that's expressing hate, no humour in it.

I'm saying that what the father said (most likely as a joke) is funny, not if that was the actual reason. I doubt he actually burns his kid's photos. Please read my comment correctly before posting nonsense.
THE_A_TEEN 28
You never actually stated that exact reason until I posted. You only said " That's kind of hilarious. I'm sure he was joking though", never clarifying what you ment. Quit trying to save your arse.

Sorry if I thought that was obvious. How can you jokingly burn something? You either burn it or you don't. Therefore I was referring to the dad's comment. I guess I just assumed it was common sense, my bad.

Stop fighting. Number 1's comment made perfect sense to me, I see no reason to be offended. The dad in this FML was obviously joking, you can tell because that part is the punchline.

I'm afraid that they ran out... What will they burn now?

calm your ****.

FYL for an extreme parents. and YDI at the same time for being disapointing.
FMLshark 12
People are so damned uptight. It honestly sounds like a joke my dad would make. I don't think he would have actually burned her pictures. Idiots.
DomDomxoxo 16
THE_A_TEEN: I have nothing against you personally, but everytime I see your picture, I know it's going to be a bad comment that people will bury faster than a corpse. Take a hint.

18- her being ugly is a disappointment to them every day. Hence the lack of photos.

Can someone lend me a phone quickly? I need to phone someone who gives a ****.

You just got burned.

I was going to down vote your comment, but I decided the pun wasn't all that bad. There are far worse.

Daughter: Dad, why are there no pictures of me anywhere? Dad: Because every time you disappoint me, I burn a picture of you... (Daughter runs away crying) Dad: ...Onto a disk so that they take up less space!

After I posted it I thought I should've put BURN!!! Like Kelso, but it was too late :(

29 - Your comment reminds me of the Boy Scout Counselor meme. "I touched your child...with stories of my days as a firefighter." Good job!

She shouldn't disappoint them.
SkoomaKi 28
^ He shouldn't expect so much from her.

Hopefully you haven't taken that many pictures.. When he runs out your next
lolfood 24
You must be a disappointing daughter.
permannator 10
Actually wouldn't you have wanted to take a lot of pictures then?
21jason 9
I worded it funny I meant hopefully he hasn't had many pics taken so not that many have been burned because of disappointment
21jason 9
That and I kinda wanna see that happen... BURN BABY BURN!!!!!!!

Do the same thing for him, except with his condoms
robbydoherty 0
Great plan, fool proof
therealslim 15
Why would you burn his condoms?
yankfan89 27
What makes you so sure her dad uses condoms?
TwiztedYuri 9
why burn them? she can take them and use them to stay safe. and not disappoint her father by getting pregnant. save a picture at the same time. maybe one will go up on the wall for being smart
cheer4everever 0
She should take the condemns, n tape THEM to the wall!!!!!
fabulosogurlee 7
He obviously doesn't have condoms, let alone use them, if he has a child
klx125cross 9
That would suck....

I hope they don't run out of pictures... They might have to burn you! o_o

Aw, 4 and 6 beat me to it. :/
russianmartini 2
Look at it this way at least there's no embarrassing photos of you hanging up.
ss_20_xx 14
I know right? My mom refuses to take my ones off of the wall. I hate it when good looking people come over.
Myo_fml 20
Why? Because you're so monstrously hideous that they scoff at them?
ss_20_xx 14
Uh no.
laden_swallow09 35
Then why?
CaramelMacchiato 13
Because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it either if your mom put up embarrassing pictures of you. Keep them if you really want to, but don't put it up for everyone who comes in the house to see! Pretty sure you wouldn't like your significant other to see pictures of you from Middle School, during the "awkward" stage in life..
SkoomaKi 28
Interesting ritual your dad has there. He probably has photos of you on the computer which he deletes with the same satisfaction as burning them. Either don't disappoint or go for the better option of burning the other pictures of your family.
Comet_Candy 23
That's terribly harsh... I'm so sorry, OP!
