Today, my parents confirmed we were going to be taking a Disney World trip for Christmas vacation. I already knew that we were taking a trip, but I was now missing a week of school. Being in 3 honors and an A.P. class, I said that I didn't want to go. I got called an "ungrateful, little prick". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML
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, 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, 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, I lost my job because my mom and stepdad forced me to go on our family vacation, even though my time off got rejected. 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
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML

Coming from an honors and AP student since I was in middle school, go on the trip. You can make up the work, you can't make up the memories. It's worth it, trust me!

You are an ungrateful little prick. I'm taking 5 honors classes and 2 AP courses at a college prep school. Your parents are paying no a ton of money to get some last memories with you before you go to college. Show some gratitude.

You are being ungrateful a disney vacation is expensive OP and I'm sorry but your classes can be made up you're only missing five days worth of classes, not an entire week. You likely won't get this experience again and if you do it won't be the same. It's good you want to make sure your school work doesn't get missed, but when your family spends the time and money planning a special trip and you say that it shows disrespect towards their efforts and makes them feel like your school work is more important than them. Your GPA is not going to matter all that much in a few years time, but family always will. Go on the trip and prioritize your family better.

How could you resist disney. Besides, it's called Christmas Break for a reason. There is no school during that week.

"...but I was now missing a week of school" Sounds like maybe it's just a family vacation, not a school vacation.

All these people who say school doesn't matter make me wonder why my family was always on my back about school. I knew several kids who often cut school and my family gave me hell the one time I cut class. Maybe I should've joined the regular school cutters after all. Why did I even graduate? -_-
