Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Today, I spent two hours making dinner for my boyfriend's family. When I brought it over to their house they said "thanks" and didn't bother to invite me to stay to eat it. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I drove 2 hours to my sister's wedding, only to find out my invitation was sent to me by mistake. She had me kicked out. FML
Today, after a big presentation, people sent an open invitation to dinner. When I asked which restaurant and what time, I was told that I wasn't invited. I've been here for three years. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, I got dressed up in my best attire and drove an hour to my family Christmas, only to find out it was canceled, and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Awww I'm sorry OP. Maybe they assumed you'd be busy, or too tired or something. Should bring up the topic and ask why.

Maybe they just forgot about you? My parents do it all the time. Sometimes I'm stranded someplace with no ride home. :( Parents are just like us.. They forget sometimes.

MOST of the time, good, sober parents don't forget their kids. Sometimes even they mess up.

Eh... Forgetting your son or daughter is stretching it a little, no?

no but getting caught up in things or being busy and forgetting you had to pick them up is a bit different then forgetting your child completely :)

You're probably boring as ****.

It's OP's FAMILY. I'm sure you would appreciate if your relatives all ignored the **** out of you.

They could be planning a surprise party or they just don't like you

I work night shift and sometimes my family will not call me to do things because they assume I'm sleeping and don't want to disturb me. And I live an hour away too. Don't take it so hard OP.

Remember that family is just a place for awkward occasions, OP. I think it's fine that you aren't invited. Just call their cell and start chatting. They will realize that you should be there and invite you over. But I'm sorry. Tough roads in life.

If it's anything like dinners with my family, you just missed out on an opportunity for a baby to spit up on you, your aunts and uncles to interrogate you about whether you have a degree yet, and your grandparents to ask you if you're still gay. I would be thanking my lucky stars.

I think they dislike you. Don't fret though OP! Just infiltrate one of your friends families- then they must accept you! It worked for me :)

Day 32: they still haven't realized I'm not one of the Smiths. Over all, operation Family Switch is successful so far.....

Day 52. Mrs. Smith is answering to 'Mom' when I say it. Time to work on Mr. Smith.

Day 100: the dog still suspicious, but I've bought treats this time.

Day 236: Call from real Mom. Pretended to be my friend, Samantha Smith. Worked well. Uncle now responds to Uncle. The dog is still suspicious, but now I have 1/2 pound of Meat Lovers treats.

I doubt that they dislike you. There must be SOME reasonable explanation. Interrogate them when they get home.
