Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. 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 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 spent the holiday with my husband's big family. They suggested we take a family picture, but two people were purposely left out of it. I was one of them. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, my mother was talking about a holiday she went on this time last year. She turned to me to say, "You would've loved it, it's a shame you couldn't come". I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday together. FML
Today, I realized the only reason I was invited to go on vacation with my extended family was so I could babysit everyone's children while the adults go out and have fun. FML
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML
Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. 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
Today, I returned home from college and saw a framed picture of my parents and my younger sister on an elephant in an exotic jungle. I pointed to the picture and asked my mom, "Is this some photoshop job?" She responded, "No, we went to Thailand for a family trip, didn't we tell you?" FML
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

Next time just don't watch it if you were really upset.

They sound like bitches. Next time, just say "If you didn't want me to be there to experience the fun in person, don't make me look at the fun you had in pictures" or something to that respect.

So what? You can't just feel crappy forever just because you didn't go. Be happy that they're happy.

Lol people are taking a perfectly acceptable fml and turning it around on the OP saying he's whining. I'm pretty sure if the rest of my family went on a vacation to Egypt and then showed me the pictures, when I could have gone, I'd be pissed too. If it was for work, they shoulda told him about it so he could book it off. I doubt going to Egypt for a vacation is a spur of the moment thing for most families. And if it was for school, they could've waited for a break in the action before going on vacation. My family did that for me when we went to Quebec ... we picked a week where I had no midterms or assignments and I dealt with it. So no, the OP is not being a whiny, selfish bitch. The family could have worked him in easily.

Were you planning to pay your own way? or were you upset because you wanted them to pay your way on their vacation even though you are 18 or older because that makes a huge difference in this one.

I had my family sneak away on a vacation I wanted to go on, that they said I could go one, but they left in secret because I was too pregnant to fly. And they drove.

#31: No, they walked through the door and then grabbed him by the legs and arms and carried him over to the computer and set him down in a chair and strapped him to it and bolted it to the floor and then uploaded all the photos. Then made him watch the 200 picture slideshow. :P If they invited you. YDI
