Today, I was told I will receive no Christmas or birthday presents for the next 3 years because my parents paid for my rhinoplasty. I needed it because my 12-year-old brother smashed my nose with a hammer in a fit of rage. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents told me they'd be willing to pay for me to get a nose job. I asked them what was wrong with my nose, and they said nothing, it's just not the kind of nose they'd prefer to feature in our Christmas photos. FML
Today, I'm so broke, I asked my parents if they'd pay for me to go to the eye doctor and consider it my Christmas present. FML
Today, my grandmother told me she would pay for me to get a nose job. I never thought there was a problem with my nose. FML
Today, I spent the morning in the ER with a broken arm. My little brother was in such a rush to get his presents first, that he violently shoved me out of the way on the stairs. FML
Today, I sit isolated from my family with presents I cannot give. Though I respect my brother's religious beliefs and life ideals, he chooses to hate mine. He has gone out of his way to refuse patching up our relationship and now my parents who are at his house are not answering their phone. "Merry X-mas…" FML
Today, a lady told me that I should sue whoever screwed up my "nose job" so badly. This is the nose I was born with. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, my younger brother decided it would be fun to slam a door on my hand while I was holding my brand new $200 cell phone that I got for my birthday. Nothing says Happy Birthday like a broken phone to go along with a broken hand. FML
Today, my boyfriend called and told me he had a surprise for me and to meet up with him to find out. The big surprise was a consultation with a plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty surgery. I never disliked my nose. FML
Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML

They should also be paying for his anger management therapy. God nose he needs it.

Perhaps your brother should be the one going without presents...until he's 18 and out of the house. Or your parents could invest in your brother's therapy because doing that kind of thing at 12 is a gateway to far more abusive behaviors. If he did that to any kid not in his family he would be in jail.

Ask your grandparents to get you a really big hammer. With your brother out of the picture, your parents will have a lot more money to get you more gifts!

Why was he so mad? That’s scary.

Shouldn't insurance pay for the injury.

Easy, just take your brothers birthday present as your own.

Maybe that’s how it started ?

As least your Christmas shopping will be much easier this year and you will not have to remember to buy a gift for your parents. Don't forget your brother though; he could really use those anger management books.

This takes the term "getting hammered" to new levels...

Hopefully your brother doesn't get any presents either. He should be the one punished not you, and maybe you cannot afford to buy your parents any gifts either as you couldn't afford the rhinoplasty Had it been another person that he broke the nose of he would of gotten in trouble by the police

I'd point out that he's the one that broke your nose in the first place and ask if he's still getting presents this year. If he is, one of them should be anger management therapy
