Today, it's been almost two weeks since any of my relatives have talked to me. They are still mad because I didn't go on a Labor Day trip with them and I've found out why. Apparently, they had plans for me to babysit my younger cousins any time they wanted to do something fun. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. 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, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML
Today, none of my family was at home. Turns out my one of my aunts was having a birthday party and all my relatives went, but nobody told me because they don’t like me coming around. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML
Today, I found out my "best friends" have gone on a crazy weekend and they didn't invite me. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, after spending over $1000 on plane tickets, I'm visiting my family for the first time in five years. Two hours after I arrived, everyone is screaming at each other and taking their rage out on me. They still ask why I never visit. FML

Here's how to get them back for this. Buy a really irritating and vicious chihuahua with an incontinence issue just before your next big vacation. Then, take it with you at the last second, and every time you leave the hotel, condo, what have you, leave before them, get in the car, drive off, and leave a note telling them to babysit your incontinent chihuahua.

Tell them don't make plans for you in the future without asking. Or Hire a babysitter next time. But that's not your job not now or ever.

I agree with another comment on here that it's unlikely a group of people who do something like this, have only done it once. I would absolutely sever any and all connection with them, without question. I would be disgusted to know such people. I hope everything works out, OP.

Well screw them. And just to rub salt in their wounds don't go next year either if there's another trip planned.

That's not fair!!! Sometimes us parents can be selfish ?. It's also not fair to assume someone will be the responsible one!
