Today, my mom told me she'd canceled my spring break trip to Europe for my 16th birthday. Why? So I could get my wisdom teeth pulled 2 months early. FML

Today, my mom told me that I would get to leave school halfway through the day. What she didn't tell me was that the reason I was missing school was to get 2 teeth pulled. FML

Today, it's my 16th birthday. It's also it is the day my parents scheduled my wisdom teeth to be pulled out. Happy birthday to me, then. FML

Today, my mom told me she'd scheduled me for a cleaning with my hometown dentist. When I reminded her that, according to my university's COVID guidelines, students shouldn't leave the county unless there's an emergency, she threw a hissy fit and told me I'm being "combative" and "looking for an excuse to fight."

Today, I had 3 teeth pulled. Due to the anaesthesia, my mom came along to drive me home. Halfway through my surgery, she decided to leave and go shopping with her friend. She even left a note with the receptionist, saying that I needed to take on my own adult responsibilities. 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

Free healthcare when?

Today, my dentist called and told me that the surgery to remove my wisdom teeth - which I desperately need and saved for a year to be able to afford - will actually cost nearly $2000 more than originally stated. The surgery is supposed to be in three days. FML

Extreme late fees

By Martin - 08/09/2020 23:01 - Switzerland

Today, I had an appointment to pull some wisdom teeth. I wrote the wrong time in my calendar. Showed up an hour late and they didn't pull the one tooth that actually hurts. Now I've got the pay for the time I was late, plus wait until November to pull the rest. I waited 5 months for this appointment due to the coronavirus. FML

Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. 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

Today, my mom got angry that I wasn't responding to her texts. I couldn't because I was in the dentist's chair. She'd dropped me off, and after returning from errands, sent the text from the waiting room. FML

Wtf? Sorry but that's not the reason why she cancelled it. She's hiding something because quite clearly that's not the real reason. I hope you can get things sorted out. GL OP

Try seeing it this way; you're getting it over and done with sooner. Getting teeth removed is absolutely awful.

I don't think you realise how expensive dentists can be, especially if you weren't paying for the holiday or dentist, maybe that's why it was cancelled, because it's expensive. I go to student dentists for free and student hair dressers for £6.30 because I'm a skint student myself, if I had to pay for a dentist then I would probably be in debt.

Either way, it must be colossally disappointing.

Why all the downvotes? I was told I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled instead of going to Germany. The trip had been in the works for 3 years.

Maybe she's trying to avoid telling you that she might be having financial troubles and can't afford it?

I hated having my wisdom teeth out. That was not fun at all. The nurse was jamming the IV into my arm and couldn't get any blood to flow. It hurt like hell.

Sounds like something is missing in this FML. Were you headed to Europe with some one? If so does parent(s) approve of person? Trip probably was a gift did you appreciate it or were demanding it because everyone else was going. This needs a follow up in my opinion.
