Today, my mother informed me that we are no longer taking my graduation trip to New York. Instead, she and her group of continuously drunk friends are going to Vegas because, "We could win the jackpot and take you on an even bigger trip to New York!" She's never won anything in her whole life. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML
Today, I read my mom's Facebook status. It said, "So sick of kids, can't wait for Vegas this week!" My dad, along with 12 others, liked it. I didn't even know she was going to Vegas. FML
Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML
Today, my grandmother's excuse for not going to my college graduation was because she'd already bought her bingo card. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get 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 husband and I had to cancel our family Disney World trip because my mom stole and gambled away all of our spending money. Our kids are still crying and throwing tantrums and don't understand why we can't afford to go anymore. FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, after telling my mom that I'll be going to Las Vegas with my dad for my 21st birthday, she started ranting about how my dad always wanted to abort me and that she was the only one who actually wanted me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hopefully she'll forget this idea when she sobers up. I mean, I hope she's drunk. This is not a rational idea.

That's a risk OP's mom is willing to take
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
she could win, not necessarily win big. and op just because your mom has never won anything in her life doesnt mean she's doomed to fail in Vegas. honestly that statement has nothing to do with how big of a douche move your mom took. it was very selfish.

Never having won actually increases your chance of winning, don't you think? because if the odds are 1000:1 and you've played 999 times without winning, you're bound to win soon enough.

Sorry the odds remain 1000:1

If she wasn't drunk then, I can't imagine how horrible her ideas would be when she is…

That sucks, look on the bright-side, if they do win the jackpot you'll have even more money! Bad luck OP

Hey there's always the possibility she'll win big right?....right?....

Well maybe she'll actually win this time! Fingers crossed

Better pack her some four leaf clovers, a rabbit's foot, and some lucky charms!

Don't you know casinos stock plenty of black cats, ladders, and mirrors to counteract wise guys like you?

How truly unfortunate

Well, it's really expensive in New York anyway...

Depends on where in New York you go. Manhattan is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Queens? Not so much...
erjazo 17
Who goes to NYC to go to Queens, though? Seriously, that's be a bigger FML than this one...
lonewolf658 6
13 in Queens you'd loose an arm and a leg as well...just not for expenses.
jessBeAqueen 13
maybe long island.....ah hell who am I kidding? no one ever comes to long island :( unless of course its the hamptons then you'd probably lose that arm and leg
JordynnLOL 11
They could each sell an arm and a leg in Vegas, then they'd be set for a trip to Manhattan!

No I went to manhattan NYC spent like 3 grand
