Today, I went to my dad's house for Christmas. Soon enough, my grandma had commented on how much weight I've gained, my aunt asked me why I'm still single, and my dad joined in by reminding me that I still haven't been accepted into college. Only three more days to go. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, I spent my first day with my parents for the first time in a year as I've been away at university. My dad went to work, and my mum spent the whole day playing mahjong with her friends as they all told me "how fat I've gotten" and how "boys won't like it". FML
Today, I was video chatting with my dad. He handed the phone to his wife, whose first words out of her mouth were, "Why are you getting so skinny?" This was also the same woman whose first words out of her mouth when they came to visit us 3 years ago was how much weight I've gained. FML
Today, I was tying my hair up when my dad rubbed my stomach and asked how his grandchild was doing. He knows I'm not pregnant and that I've been trying really hard to lose weight. FML
Today, I proudly told my family I lost 15 pounds. My dad looked me up and down and said, "Well, you've got a looooong way to go." FML
Today, my constant constipation has become a running joke in my family; I heard my mom tell my dad that if he wants to keep his Christmas presents safe, he should ask me to eat them. FML
Today, I mentioned to my parents that Sunday is going to be awesome because it's Christmas. They responded with "Wait, this Sunday? In 3 days?!" Apparently they forgot. FML
Today, I had to walk three miles home from work. Both my parents were at home. The reason they wouldn't collect me is apparently because I've "gotten so fat, your grandma cried after she saw you". FML
Today, I live in dorms and found out everyone is leaving for Christmas break. I also found out my student loan didn't go through, so now I cant afford to go visit my family that lives over 7 hours away. I guess I'll be spending Christmas alone in a dorm room. FML
Today, my dad announced to the whole family that we will be having a vegetarian dinner this Christmas to make my step-mum happy. FML

families really are delightful aren't they? Don't mind them OP I'm sure they're just old and bitter because Santa doesn't visit them anymore!

sounds like my Christmas exactly its nice to know im not the only one who doesn't enjoy having to be surrounded by family on Christmas. family is supposed to bring you up not put you down.

Remind them you shouldn't complain without offering a solution. Best possible outcome is a workout buddy, being set up with someone you actually like, and getting into college. ( maybe this Christmas stuff has me overly optimistic but it's worth a shot )

Go for the eyes OP. Cruel jokes about your college acceptance status? Tell your dad it's ok, since you know he wouldn't be able to afford your higher education anyway (how you're actually intending to pay for it is moot for the purposes of this insult). Grandma on your thick ankles? That's fine, better to be gaining strength for future years than getting frailer by the day. Aunt simpering about your single status? You've been talking to a few (insert chosen gender/s here), but decided you'd rather remain unattached then end up like her (purposefully vague, she can assign her own meaning here). Hope these bitch tips help with the filial bullying OP. Happy holidays!

Dang, they're worse than fan bases for celebrities. Look at it this way: They have nothing better to do than pick at you, which means they have NO LIFE. Don't mind'em OP. Just set that clock wicked early for the third day and high tail out.
