Lower your expectations

Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML

Okay yes the grave thing is ridiculous but don't complain about not getting a car. I didn't get a car given to me either when I turned 17. If you really want one get a job and buy it yourself.

at least that's one less thing to worry about

what find of parents are those? that's messed up, fyl

One less thing to worry about. Lol. Just be glad you didn't have to buy your own grave lot

Or alternatively let your future kids buy you a lot like everyone else does.. either way you still don't have to buy your own lot..

i got life insurance for my 16th birthday. at least what you do will benefit you!

OP, might I suggest you explain nicely and calmly that you do not find the gift appropriate. Simply say that you don't want your funeral planned for you, as it makes you feel uneasy, and you wouldn't want to be buried in that spot. FYL.

You'll thank them someday op. Er... I guess you won't but someday you WILL need it... Guaranteed. A car or computer
