Today, I finished booking the non-refundable cruise for my wife and I to the Bahamas. I did this after confirming once again that my mother could take care of our son while we're away. An hour after I paid, she called back saying she mistook the dates and can't do it anymore. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the cruise that I was looking forward to for over a year was cancelled due to the coronavirus. Trying to salvage what was left of my vacation, I booked a hotel for a few days near a local beach. They just announced that the beach was closed and the hotel is refusing to refund my money. FML
Today, my wife and I had to cancel our family vacation to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas that we had planned for almost two years and spent thousands on, because our son tripped over his suitcase and dislocated his ankle as we were leaving to go to the airport. FML
Today, I learned that my son’s godmother forgot about the baptism date and booked a family holiday to Italy. Her mother is also on the trip and she is the officiant. I gave them both the date over 6 months ago. Everything is already booked on our side for that date. FML
Today, my girlfriend bought two tickets for a cruise to the Bahamas. Too bad the second ticket isn't for me. I guess her ex-boyfriend will have a wonderful time with her. FML
Today, my husband called me selfish and ungrateful then canceled the cruise he’d booked as a surprise. I only asked if we could get a sitter for the kids. I’m a stay at home mom who homeschools and co-sleeps. We never get a single minute alone, so excuse me for wanting some adult time. 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, I told my boyfriend I wouldn't be able to get any time off work to go to Mexico with him, and that we'd have to get our tickets refunded, and reschedule. He said not to bother, and that he already had someone else in mind to take with him. FML
Today, a friend is refusing to pay her final portion on the vacation we’ve been planning for over a year. She's met a new guy and he’s uncomfortable with her going on a girls' trip. We’ve been planning this trip longer than she’s known him and it’s too close to the date for us to get a full refund. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with me but it had to be after our cruise together because he doesn't want to lose out on money. Can't wait for the Bahamas. FML
Today, I surprised my 10-year-old nephew with an invitation to my family's upcoming Disney Cruise for his birthday, since he previously said he wanted to go. He said no. He'd "changed his mind." The ticket is nonrefundable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't think that's the point. I think the point is the mom is a bitch and should do some push-ups or something.

I think the worst they could do is murder her son or something. So choose someone you trust :)

Yeah I've been guilty.of.that before.sadly. You really want to help but after actually thinking it all of the way through (and sometimes might get you into trouble) and you cancel. Or at least that's my opinion. I'm a Libra so I don't know if that has something to do with it or not. If you give yourself time to think about it after just making a quick decision.

#33, no, the time of year you were born has nothing to do with it. Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions. No one likes a flake.

Sabotage! That totally sucks OP. At least you have time to find someone else!

Just get somebody else?

there isn't really another choice, but things like this can really ruin the time looking forward to your vacation.

This isn't jeopardy, your response isn't suppose to be a question

52 - Way to be an a-hole, but I believe she meant it as a suggestion, not a question, in which case she was absolutely correct in using a question mark.

You get a thumbs up for the profile picture alone.

You get thumbed down for expressing the fact that you are a heterosexual male.

I realize that now. Everyone makes mistakes now and then. Damn you people are rough!

There has to be someone else who can take of your kid while you're gone. If not, poke some holes in a box and bring it along as your luggage.

Did you just call the OP's kid an "it"? o.O

I was being facetious... which apparently is a primitive thing. Who the hell actually takes this joke literally? O.O

I am "literally" offended.

Well is it a boy or a girl? Oops, I said it. I said it again. Aaahh! I can't stop saying it!

You can seek another sitter, but like most people you probably felt safe if a relative looked after him, not a stranger. Good luck.

Aaaand there goes your cruise...without you

Pack your bags and take your son with you to your Moms house. Wait until she leaves the room then run out of the house. Call her from the cruise ship and say, "Oh damn Mom, we meant to take Timmy somewhere else and we accidentally left. I'm sorry Mom they can't turn the ship around. Oh shit here come some Somali Pirates gotta go." Problem solved OP. Problem solved.

I like how you think. This is probably how I would have to play it out with my Mum...
