Today, I went to my parents' for the first time in months. Upon my arrival, I found out that I won't be spending the day with them because they've taken a car trip to attend a Sarah Palin book signing. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I drove 15 hours to drop my son off at my parents' for their vacation, just for them to tell me that they changed their minds and they're taking my sister's kids instead. 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 whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. 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
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out I can't go to Los Angeles to visit my grandparents for spring break like I'd planned because my asshole dad got some sort of court order preventing me from leaving the state. He and my mom are in a custody battle over me. FML
Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, I bumped into my parents at the mall. They didn't tell me they were around. I live 5,000 miles away, in a different country from them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to get ahead of the game and start the political controversy: I think all politicians should be rounded up, placed in a large vat, and covered with glue. Discuss.

If she is the next president she must make sure to thank the folks of Alabama for being stupid enough to vote for her.

Sarah Palin referred the North Koreans as allies several times in a recent interview. This was only one of many, many, many mistakes. Simpletons will vote for her.

Did you actually call to say you were going to be home that day or did you just turn up? If it was the latter then YDI for not checking they'd be in whilst you visited, you can't expect them to drop their plans like that unless it's an emergency. If you did ring them to ask and they then ditched you in favour of the book signing, then it sucks, because they could've at least made arrangements to take them with you, or had you go home on a different day etc. But you now know where you stand in their lives.

Didn't you call ahead? Your folks have better plans every day than just hoping you'll stop by -- which you don't do for months at a time.
