Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I found out that my mother in-law's flight home is canceled, and that she's staying three more days. FML
Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML
Today, I found out my mother had remarried, and that I was getting a stepfather and stepbrother. However, I found out about it 30 minutes before we left to pick them up from the airport, and also found out that I'm losing my bedroom. FML
Today, I came home after spending the past two months at summer camp, just for my parents to excitedly announce that I'm going to be spending the next two weeks in Florida with my grandma. We have to leave in literally a couple hours. 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, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I found out that after moving in with my mother and her boyfriend into his place two months ago, she's breaking up with him, and leaving me stuck with him. Awkward. 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 family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML

I doubt she thought enough to buy a refundable ticket and won't likely do it twice

You remember that line from Harry Potter 3, “I will if she does”? If Aunt Marge won’t be nice to Harry, why should he still his tongue? If these relatives don’t like OP and vice-versa… this won’t end well.

If they don’t like you and you don’t like them, think of all the trouble you can cause!

Then, to save yourself and your relatives some hassle, just don't go - tell your mom you missed the flight and hope she doesn't do it again. Alternatively talk to your mother and tell her what you think about both these relatives and the way she is behaving by doing something like this to you. Good luck!

See if you can exchange it for a different location, swipe a credit card on your way out, and have a vacation.

Give the TSA agent at the airport a really big smile and tell them you're sooo happy to finally be off the no-fly list.

Have you told parents this, and why you don't like them and they don't like you?
