Today, I took my parents and 3 sisters to the airport so they could take a trip to Hawaii. I wasn't invited because they don't like my husband. They asked me to watch the dog and water the plants. 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, 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

Oh no

Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML

How to invite someone without actually inviting them

By Anonymous - 03/08/2021 07:59 - Denmark - Copenhagen

Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML

Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML

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

Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML

Family day

Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML

Shackled

Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

Without knowing all parties, hard to say who is the right. Your family may be intolerant, or husband may be genuinely difficult.

i like how #15 assumes that the "boyfriend" is the douchebag...are you sure it isn't the family?now, of course YOUR family is perfect, but a lot of families are bigoted and racist...so hold your tongue between your teeth (obviously just a figure of speech people T_T i realize that no one is actually talking) and don't judge people before you know the whole story

Today, my married daughter got mad because she wasn't invited on a trip. She then killed my pets and flowers. FML.

Is your husband an asshole, or is your family generally hard to please (or is it somewhere in between, e.g. the two parties just don't have meshing personalities)? I agree though, if they were blatantly leaving you out of it, they shouldn't have asked you for the ride.

What did your husband do to make them all hate him so much? Were you guys expecting your parents to pay for him as well? Do your other siblings have spouses as well? Did your parents pay for them? It's hard to comment on this without knowing all of the facts. Is that really the entire reason? It seems like it might be a tad more complex than that. Strange that you agreed to take care of their stuff...
