Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML

Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML

Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML

Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML

Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML

Today, I got home from college. Since I haven't seen my parents in almost a year I sorta expected them to come meet me/pick me up at the airport. Nope. What did I get instead? A text from my dad saying, "I hope you have a key." FML

Today, as I was about to leave home for my first sweet taste of freedom at my new apartment, my car died. I'm stuck here for at least the weekend and can look forward to my mom driving me to work. Freedom. FML

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

Your mother and father are obviously shooting a raunchy fart fetish porno with a few of the neighbours at your house and would rather not include you.

Blah Blah...so ******* what? I'm so tired of these "I haven't seen my parents in 1-3 month" stories. How about you grow a pair and actually try living on your own.

Perhaps they that you become adult or something... I mean 2 months.... really.... when I relocated with 18 I visited my family after 12 years at chrismas. Next time was 16 month later for easter. You can call them or write an Email, thats more than enough. But seriously, thought about that exactly THIS could be the reason why they dont want you to come?

why would you even want to go see your family? I can't wait for college so that I'll never have to see them again

Because his family isn't your family. Some of us actually like our families.

They put up with you for 18 years or so and finally get a little peace and quiet, and BACK YOU COME! Ugh.

You need time to adjust to college. Going home so soon can really mess up the adjustment process.

I agree with #16. Some questions. 1. Why did you go to college that far away if your family is that important? 2. If you're six hours away, isn't that gonna add up to like, less than one day, and wouldn't that make it not worth it? 3. Why not hang out with your friends for a social outlet? 4. Is it really that "family is important to you," or is it that "family does my laundry/makes my food/inflates my ego/buys me clothes?" It seems that the former would foster reciprocal desire to reunite, so I suspect the latter.
