Today, my dad and his girlfriend left for a 10-day vacation. They booked an expensive beach-house. I'm an A grade student and just last month, he stopped paying my school fees because he 'couldn't afford it.' Oh, and he's making me feed the dog while he's away. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. 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 girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML
Today, I was asked to stay at my parents' house for a week while my mom stays with my dying grandfather. Dad greeted me with a whole list of chores to do every day when I'm not at work, and won't even so much as let me use my laptop when I'm not busy. He does nothing but waste money on eBay all day and doesn't help. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Run away and take the dog. Play guitar in the streets for cash, and make sure the dog is lying next to you with a sad face. Make it look like hes eating some garbage and people will surely give you money. Works for me.

He may be a bad dad but that doesn't mean your life is ******. There are always options for straight A students but it may be a little harder. you'll figure it out.

I'm assuming ur in college...if that's the case then learn to take care of yourself, your dad should not be paying for ur crap. and since ur so proud of being a straight A student, get a frigin scholarship!

Why would it be college? She said "school". In Australia college is university and school is school (probably high school)

91, just because everything you wanted seemed to fall out of the sky, doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else. also, your comment, since ur so proud of being a straight a student, get a frigin scholarship basically implies that you dont know the first thing about education, and it's apparently so easy to get a scholarship

Well, if you're in like a private high school or something that he sent you to, then your dad ******* sucks. If you're in college, then you should be paying for that shit anyway. I guess it also wouldn't be too much to ask you to take care of the dog since you'd be living in his house anyway. If he makes you pay rent though, then he's an asshole.

Normally OP can't afford rent so she pays in "other" ways.

at least he didn't make u drop out and get a job. but then again that's probably whats going to happen

first mo one can "make" you do anything & second give the dog a little laxative just before your dad gets home then charge him your school fees to clean up the mess. Get the money first though or a contract. lol

it sucks but, hey, that's life. Besides, I really doubt his vacation / hotel expenses are anywhere near what your school costs are.

That's why they said *expensive* beach house...
amiemariej 0
I doubt an "expensive" 10-day vacay will cost even close to a semesters worth in Australia (~$5,000)
potterwatch 0
even if his expensive school is nowhere near the price of tuition, a father shouldn't use extra money to pay for a vacation if he agreed to pay for tuition. if he can afford a luxurious vacation then he ought to able to contribute.

Renting an expensive beach house for 10 days can DEFINITELY cost more than $5000. Have you ever tried to rent a vacation home? Those can go for $700+ a night.

I agree...house party!! Sorry, op. Get loans and show him you don't need him or his money!!

Loans are stupid because your only going to have to pay it back plus more. Here's an idea get a job in collage and high school and don't go into debt. My sister did that and graduated form GA Tech in 5 years with no debt. And in case you didn't know let's say you went bankrupt one day, the student loans wouldn't go away you need to pay them off and not even going bankrupt will help you there. So don't take out loans get of your butt and get a job even if it's at a McDonalds or something. Anything is better then nothing. Op I agree have a PARTY!

Some people can't pay for college without taking out a loan. Chances are, next semester I'll have to, and that's with two jobs.
