Today, my brother and I were going to give our parents their anniversary gift which cost us over $3000. The gift was a trip to London in August to see a show on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. 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 brother and I spent almost $600 to plan and throw a divorce party for our mother. She proceeded to announce that she and our dad are staying together and that we completely jumped the gun. We deserve it, but… FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

omg, that really is a FYL! i hope you get your money back and that you can find another anniversary gift without too much trouble. RIP MJ --- I believe in showing respect to him since he recently passed on even if he wasn't the best man in the world. his life was so f*cked up but he was certainly one talented man...

Now, if he ever comes back to life, that will be the ultimate comeback tour. I'm not throwin a party over his death, but I'll pass the Kleenex to the next person. I didn't know him personally nor did he help you or me.

Well, you'll get your money back for the tickets, then can't you re-schedule the flights if they dont wanna go to london? I hear they're planning a tribute concert in los angeles in september with tons of different celebs, so maybe if that comes up you can get them tickets to that and take the credit for the london flights to use on LA...if that's possible of course! RIP MJ ='[

Okay, will you all SHUT UP about him "molesting kids" or whatever. first of all, he was found not guilty and the term "innocent until PROVEN guilty" makes loads of sense. btw, you're supposed to comment on the FML. But, that sucks. I'm sure everyones gettin there money back.

my friend bought the tickets too because she was such a huge fan! keep the ticket/frame it. it is now worth a fortune. and if your parents were also BIG MJ fan, they'd probably have a memorial in place of the original concert time. find out more information and go anyways. it'll be a good vocation :]
