Today, I told my mom about how my friend is going to China for a year instead of college. My mom suggested that I could do the same. When I told her that a trip to China is probably more expensive than my college tuition, my mom replied, "Not for a one way ticket". FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, I suggested that my mother download Skype so we could video chat while I'm studying in London over the summer. After I had explained how it worked and that it was free, she said "Well...you'll only be gone for a few months. It's not really worth it." FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, I asked my mom how much she had set aside for college. She then looked and me as if I were crazy and said "Why the hell would I do anything like that?" FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, my parents refused to visit me at college because "the flights are too expensive." They are currently shopping for a new car to replace my mother's two-year-old Porsche. FML
Today, my mom found out I'm failing three classes. Now she won't let me go to a convention I bought passes for weeks in advance. Each pass was $45, and I bought 2 more for my friends. You do the math on that, because I apparently can't. FML
Today, I was telling my mom about how my dentist lectured me for not doing a cleaning in the past 5 years. I haven’t been able to do so because of affordability. My mom asked, “How about the thousands of dollars you spend in concert tickets and plane tickets to party and slut out with your friends every year?" FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, my parents took me on a plane ride for a vacation in Hong Kong. What they didn't tell me was that the "vacation" is extended for three years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This isn't much of an FML, more of a MLIA. It's funny and your life doesn't suck at all. So I'm not going to vote FML or YDI here..

I don't see how this is a FML, if you're staying there for a year, it is cheaper to by a one way ticket. When you decide to leave, you buy another one way ticket. I know people who do this all the time. Doesn't mean you're mom hates you.

She's obviously implying to buy a one way ticket there is cheaper because then he won't have to come back. Its like alright have fun, gothere. And dont come back. P.S. OP, burned by your motherr.

Actually, one-way tickets AREN'T cheaper. They're usually twice as expensive. Get a round-trip ticket. Example: Round-trip from Minneapolis to Tokyo (or vice-versa) in the summer costs about $1,600. One-way is closer to $3,000. Though, if you were to go to Tokyo in May, the costs goes down to about $800, and from there you could buy a dirt-cheap ticket to China. Now, there's an idea. And depending on where you're going and their visa laws, some airports won't let you into the country without a return ticket. I know coming to Tokyo, you have to have a return flight (or you have to be leaving the country to go somewhere else) within 90 days or they detain and deport you.

To be fair it can sometimes be cheaper to buy two one way tickets instead of one round trip. Especially if you're going on an extended trip.
