Today, my parents told me they'd be willing to pay for me to get a nose job. I asked them what was wrong with my nose, and they said nothing, it's just not the kind of nose they'd prefer to feature in our Christmas photos. FML

Today, my grandmother told me she would pay for me to get a nose job. I never thought there was a problem with my nose. FML

Today, I was told I will receive no Christmas or birthday presents for the next 3 years because my parents paid for my rhinoplasty. I needed it because my 12-year-old brother smashed my nose with a hammer in a fit of rage. FML

Today, I came home to tell my parents about my new nose job I got about a month ago. My mom always told me I should get one, so I didn't tell her right away to see if she would notice. I was home for about 20 minutes before she asked me, "so when are you getting that nose job?" FML

Today, I'm so broke, I asked my parents if they'd pay for me to go to the eye doctor and consider it my Christmas present. FML

Today, I flew home to visit my parents. We haven't seen each other in two years, I've gotten a few tattoos done since, and I knew they wouldn't approve, so I bought whole new outfits that covered everything and looked professional. When I got there, the first thing my mom says to me is, "Is that a nose ring!?" FML

Today, my boyfriend called and told me he had a surprise for me and to meet up with him to find out. The big surprise was a consultation with a plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty surgery. I never disliked my nose. FML

Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML

Today, I told my parents I wanted to try modelling. I decided that since I have such a low self-esteem, that it might benefit me, and make me feel better about myself and how I look. The first thing out of my dad's mouth was, "What? Why? You're ugly." Thanks dad. FML

Today, I noticed that a picture of me on my mum and dad's wall looked different. On closer inspection, I realised they'd recently painted over my teeth with white paint. I asked them why, and they said they looked 'discoloured'. It's my wedding photo. FML

You should really tell your parents that you're just a combination of their genes. If they have a problem with you physically, then it's just a problem with themselves. Don't sweat it OP, it will be one of those things they'll look back on and facepalm themselves over.

You have no control in how you look and what features you were born with. If you are happy with the way your nose is, tell them to **** off. If you aren't happy with it, take up their offer of a free nose job.

You should have told them "Well, I was born with YOUR genes!"

Wow that's pretty bad tell them you will take the money but not get the nose job... Easy fix

It's rare for people to be satisfied with themselves now, and for them to suggest you need a nose job for a Christmas card, that's awful. Not to mention it will take about 6 -8 weeks to initially heal from it then another year and half to see the full results, so they are a little late. That money could be put to better use I'm sure.

I owe 300 million people an apology due to this FML! I read this and my first thought was "Flaming Americans all obsessed with appearance and cosmetic surgery" - and then I noticed it was a UK poster! Sorry! (x300,000,000) OP - your parents are insane.
