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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, who always bitch that they don't see me enough since we live in different states, completely ignored me during their early Thanksgiving visit and used me as a free hotel for my younger siblings. I maybe spent four hours with them during their three day stay. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. 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, 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 was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML

Time to call CPS.

Call the cops on all of them for child abandonment.

Never underestimate the value of living far, far away from family.

I hope you called and left them messages that their children can be picked up at the police station and I would disown them for that bullshit 🤬

Send the kids out to beg for change. If they're cute, you'll be eating well and maybe you can serve them the good gruel.

So you are single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, yet your Nieces & Nephews were dropped off at your place ? Nobody else your sisters & their spouses could have called to watch their children?

This is depending on how badly you can't make ends meet: Child neglect, endangerement, abuse, abandonment, and this is at minimum. I would call child services on all my family if they did that. It's a simple rule if you decided to have kids they are 100% your responsibility, and even if you have helped them out once or twice just handing your children over without previous agreement is illegal. What type.of parents do that?! So apparently your sisters and parents decided to have a family vacation removing all the kids. How is your relationship with family? It's a Cinderella story really you are there to serve them on your own money as well. Report them, I would cut family loose. Anyone who did that to me without prior agreement, money, food and timeline would be looking for their kids in child services. Like for parents constantly to be so alert to not let kids be kids, this is like different extreme just leave kids at relatives door and.hope.for.best. I would have never let kids in without parents.

If you decide against CPS or the police, at least bill the moochers. 25$/hour per child should do it.
