Today, I've been in Bali for 12 days. We have done nothing but sit around because my whole family is sick, and they won't let me do anything because it's supposed to be a "family vacation". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm on spring break on a tropical island, visiting family I hadn't seen in years. They invited me out to eat, and won't take no for an answer. All of this would be wonderful, if it weren't for the fact that I've been vomiting to the point of expelling bile and dry heaving for the last two days. FML
Today, I have to reschedule the vacation I had planned for eight months because I have the flu, and feel too sick to go and enjoy myself at a waterpark. This vacation is the only thing that's kept me sane these last two months. FML
Today, we're in the middle of vacation. Two days in, my dad no longer wants to do anything but sit in the hotel room and sulk because, "it's all about us." We'd already tried taking him to an antique car and motorcycle museum, and a local gun show, but he just sat in the car pouting. Five more days of this. FML
Today, I was supposed to be on my way to Hawaii for a long-planned family vacation, but I had an anxiety attack that I couldn't explain. Now I'm lying in bed and crying, and my phone is blowing up with texts and calls. FML
Today, I got the rest of the week off against my will due to lack of patients. Two weeks ago, I declined my boyfriend's dad's offer to pay for a flight to Panama City, FL for a family vacation this weekend in order to help the staff at work. Now I’m sitting at home and they’re on a beach. FML
Today, I had to call out of work because I was ill, but they didn't believe me because today was the day I was supposed to come back from vacation. Now I'm stuck at work, constantly running to the bathroom, and they still won't let me go home. FML
Today, I am on vacation in Dubai with my dad and a few of his friends. I thought we were going to travel and see some amazing things, but I'm confined to my hotel room while everyone drinks and watches Family Guy. FML
Today, after weeks of looking forward to my birthday trip to the beach, I've come down with a serious case of the flu. My family is still going without me, but at least now they don't have to pay someone to watch the dog. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML
Today, my parents told me that I'm going on our upcoming family vacation and that's final. I broke both my legs in an accident and have to use a wheelchair. I"m in constant pain and don't want to go anywhere. FML

Who cares what they say. If you're old enough go do whatever you want. And if they get pissed then oh well. Just because they're sick and can't do anything doesn't mean you should be stuck not doing anything either.

SNEAK OUT for a few hours and go see the area. They can get mad at you when you're back with some awesome memories. I'd do anything right now to visit Bali, and you're already there!

I know how you feel ?

I don't understand your use of the question mark.

19, don't be rude. A quick click shows the poster was from Saudi Arabia. Obviously this is not their first language. Jesus Christ.

#30 On what planet was that rude? Oversensitive much? Jesus.

30, I am almost positive that question marks work the same way in nearly every written language...

I had no intention of being rude whatsoever. I'm sorry I offended you. Have a nice day!

What will happen is they will get better and then the OP will get sick. Since they are feeling better they will want to do stuff and the OP will be the bad guy for ruining the vacation for everybody.

Is it just me or is it weird that they're forfeiting their vacation just because they're sick? If I wasn't feeling well I'd still try and go out and do small things and at least try and enjoy it. At the very least, OP, they should let you enjoy such an exciting opportunity. FYL, they're a bit selfish.

They could have food poisoning, which if you've ever had it you'd understand there reasoning for not straying too far from the toilet
philosophicallll 25
Then if so, why force OP to stay with people in constant need of the toilet? He should be allowed out to enjoy himself.

12 days is a long time to not be doing anything.

Bali seems to me to be a once in a lifetime trip. Get out there. They're being selfish. Personally even if I was sick I'd at least be outside

They should have a family vacation at the hospital to get that checked out

This is one of the few instances when I can recommend rebellion. It's probably too late to say this, but do something; otherwise, it's a complete waste.

Well if it's a one in a lifetime experience and you are older than 18, just leave. It's not like they will chase you down while sick and they can't really do anything about it.

You poor bastard. they drank water or brushed their their teeth with tap water huh? Got the Bali belly? Only use bottled water in Bali. Their water isn't filtered or treated enough yet. We just spent 10days there and dodged the Bali belly. good luck mate!
