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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML
Today, I had to watch my husband and kids go off on our trip to Hawaii without me because I forgot my wallet at home and couldn't afford to take a later flight. FML
Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML
Today, my whole family called me ungrateful and my parents are threatening to ground me because I turned down an invitation to go with my extended family to Hawaii for spring break. I literally just started a new part-time job, but they won't listen. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I would dog-sit for them while they go to my ex's wedding. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my parents canceled our trip to Greece because my siblings were being brats. When I tried to point out that I wasn't doing anything, they just shrugged and said, "Sorry honey." FML

Without knowing all parties, hard to say who is the right. Your family may be intolerant, or husband may be genuinely difficult.

Have fun with the dog.

Kill the plants, feed and walk the dog and take this time to mark down everything you want from the house as an inheritance after they "pass on to greener pastures." Just for fun, go through their bank statements, see how much credit card debt they have, notate any life insurance policies, see if anyone is having an affair (credit card statements), snoop through their drawers (but be subtle) see if you can find their wills. In case you have been disinherited, sell stuff from their basement on ebay (who checks their basement anyway???). Steal and shred old love letters, buy some millipedes from the pet store and leave them in their bathrooms, see if they have any old **** lying around and take pics of same. Check for naked pictures of themselves and if you find any, post them on the internet with their names tagged. Don't think of this as a punishment, think of this as an opportunity. Your parents should never have given you the keys... ;-)

To all the people who said "Well, it's your fault that you married someone that your family doesn't like", you really are a bunch of mindless retards, aren't you? If you only marry someone by your family's opinion, than you suck. Go die.

Why the hell would you drive them to the airport and watch after their stuff?? They don't deserve any favors from you since they didn't let you come along.

check the dog into a kennel, lock up the house and leave them a note where they can pick up Fido.... if you are feeling vindictive, put a huge f'ing banner in the front window of their house saying "On vacation, Back (DATE)"

If you took them to the airport I assume you are supose to pick them up from the airport. Don't pick them up. Have other plans that day.

leave the dog loose around the house. Let the dog do whatever he likes in the house. smash the plants and take your husband to hang out while they were to return. dont pick them up .
