Today, my mother-in-law had a bitch fit because I had a miscarriage and my husband and I are having a difficult time. It’s her birthday and she said I should, “stop being an attention-hogging drama queen” and that, “shit happens, get over it” She doesn’t see what's wrong with her statements. FML

Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

Today, I bumped into an old school friend. I'd heard she was pregnant so the first thing I did was congratulate her. Not only was she not pregnant, but the reason she managed to get so fat was because of comfort eating due to her miscarriage last month. FML

Today, my mother excitedly jumped up and down, announcing that one of her sweet younger coworkers got engaged. I wished she'd had the same reaction to my engagement when I announced it to her a few days earlier. FML

Today, it was my mother’s birthday. I was on my way to pick up her cake but I got into a car accident and ended up in the emergency room. When I call her to explain what happened, she called me an useless fuck for ruining her birthday by not bringing the cake. She’s yet to ask if I'm okay. FML

Today, a week after my miscarriage, my little sister thought it appropriate to wrap her belt around her neck and scream, "Hey look, it's your baby!" FML

A hard slap on her face is also another way to celebrate.

I don't see how anyone can find joy out of someone having a miscarriage.

That is beyond sick! What sort of sordid mind finds a countenance in which to celebrate the occasion?! I'm so sorry you had to go through that op. The joyful promise of a child wretched away is one of the cruelest trials of life.

A lot of people make food when they're sad. What makes you think it was "cheerful?" Was she singing a Disney song while she baked?

What a cold hearted ****! She'd be wearing that cake along with my foot up her ass. So sorry sweetie.

You'll find yourself asking that about a lot of FML's.

Is it possible you took it out of context and she baked the cake in an effort to comfort you and that's why she was happy to do it? It can be easy to misinterpret things during periods of high emotional stress.

I don't know how to deal with sad people. I bake them brownies. I agree that maybe her intention was to cheer you up, not to celebrate. Not everyone is good with emotional situations.

Today, I emailed my boyfriend from work. Out of habit, I absent-mindedly entered my department into the "From" field. My boyfriend didn't notice when he replied. Now my entire department knows I want to "drop to my knees and suck him when I get home." And he plans to "finish on my face." FML

Today, I discovered my boyfriend's spider-infested shed where I refused to set foot, where he is constantly fixing the mower, bikes, or his car, is actually just a sound recording of power tools he plays so I won’t go down and disturb him. He has a TV, an Xbox, and a fridge in there. FML
