Today, was my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a 3 month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML

Well I don't have a car, OR membership to a gym, and I'm eighteen. I'd be happy with either.

You shouldnt have expected them to give you a car. Youd be pretty lucky if you got a car and its not as if your parents are obliged to give their 16 year old a car. Take the gym membership. Be grateful

OH MY GOD YOU DIDNT GET A CAR AT A YOUNG AGE THAT IS THE BIGGEST TRAGEDY EVER!!! -.-

why do so many kids expect their parents to spend a couple thousand dollars on a car for their kid's 16th birthday?

count your blessings. I am 16, with no car, and can't afford a gym membership.

I didn't get my car until I decided to go to community college and I have to maintain paying for the insurance to keep the car- mom would've made me pay for the membership so be grateful that you had free membership for three months

Wow, poor you! Mommy and daddy didn't buy you a brand new car!

I'm 19. I've had a job since 16. I saved up and bought myself a car. So hush.

On my 16th birthday the best thing I got from my relatives was a $75 target gift card
