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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

I'm sorry, OP. Sounds like something my mother would do. Hopefully she gets lucky and wins!

Your mom should ask for help. I'm really sorry, OP.

Well, it's her money. It sucks that she can't keep her promise, but you can always go on a trip with your friends. That'll probably be more fun anyway.

It is ******* safe to say, you're screwed my friend. You should forget about the trip, I am so upset for you, I totally feel what you feel, it was the same for me when my mom promised me with an abroad trip for summer and ended up spending my budget on my brother expenses :/

Well I hate to say it but it's her money. With that said I hope she comes to her senses and you be a little less rude "she's never won anything in her life."

Boo ******* hoo. It's her money. Get a job and finance your own trip.
