Holidays: Today, my mom had the option of choosing anywhere in the world...

By j_Lauren - 28/01/2013 04:48 - United States

Today, my mom had the option of choosing anywhere in the world where we could go on vacation. We live in the USA and she chose to fly to Texas, rent an RV, and drive to Florida. Anywhere in the world. FML

Today, as I can’t afford a “real” vacation, I’m trying to get my car converted for camping in time for what promises to be perfect weather next week. Meanwhile, my mom booked a trip to Switzerland. For next week. Guess who gets to stay home and feed the animals? 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

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, 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 "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, while living in Florida, I had a conversation with my mother explaining that it might be best for me to come back home. Her response, "Don't worry, they have plenty of homeless shelters down there if you need a place to stay." Thanks Mom. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I went on vacation. We flew 2000 miles, got off the plane, got our bags and stood outside the airport for our ride. She looks at me and says, "I can't do this anymore." So, she broke up with me and flew back home. Now I'm on vacation alone. FML

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

Narcissism in a nutshell

Today, my boyfriend's family offered me the trip of a lifetime visiting their families overseas. My mother threw a tantrum, telling me that it was my fault that she was never able to travel, it was my fault that she got pregnant with me and had to marry my abusive father. 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

From what I understand, Texans believe they ARE the world, so maybe she felt she had no other choice.

Good luck being entertained on that drive... 10 hours minimum if you're landing in Dallas

Houston to Destin is about 10 hours. If you want to go to Miami (305. Mr. Worldwide!) and the Keys, add about another 10 hours to that. While the destinations are fine, the decision to drive between them is muy loco.

It's not cool, I hate it here. Austin sucks too, it's filled with weird people and the cops are assholes.

Did your mother win a competition to take her family anywhere in the world, or something? If that's the case, truly a FYL indeed.

If I had that chiice, then I would have considered London as a destination. But my destination of choice would be someplace in Japan (I have a friend there).

wow. im so sorry OP. i love to travel internationally, been to over 40 different countries. all the posters here who are afraid of foreign travel make me sad, honestly. those idiots who think all 300,00,000 americans are the same also make me sad, for the exact same reason - ignorance and useless fear. some of the best places i've been: india, thailand, japan, netherlands, france, morocco, spain, nepal, jamaica, greece. there are many others - there have been very few places that were so awful as to have nothing good about visiting them. my next trip will be to istanbul this summer. if you have never been outside your own country, you are living an incomplete life, in my opinion. You need to travel to learn who you really are, outside of the context of your home. You learn how cultures are different, but people are the same

Excuse me? I am an American and I have been to a lot of places outside of the states. Take your American-hating comment and shove it buddy. I hate comments like yours, they show not only your intellect but also your complete lack of a mental filter. Get bent.
