Today, after coming home from surgery, I discovered that the heating in my entire building had failed. I called my mom asking if I could come and stay with her for a few days. She told me to "think warm thoughts." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML
Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML
Today, I returned to my apartment to find everything reduced to ashes, hidden in black clouds of smoke. Turns out there was a blackout, and my fiancé lit a candle on top of a stack of all our wedding papers. When he smelled the smoke, he got hungry for a taco and left instead of calling 911. FML
Today, I was walking out of my front door in the town where I intern. I live alone and know no one. As I'm locking the door, I see a golf ball wedged between my mat and step. I notice that there's writing on it so I pick it up to read, "You look hot when you sleep." FML
Today, I found myself sneaking into my apartment to avoid the old lady who lives next to me. Funnily enough, I moved into my own apartment because I was tired of sneaking into it to avoid my mom, who lived with me. FML
Today, I woke up to my apartment filled with smoke, fire alarms blaring. My roommate set my kitchen on fire while making hot dogs. This is the fourth time this has happened. FML
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It really brings my blood to a boil when parents don't give the slightest regards to their children. OP I hope you warm to the idea of disowning such a careless ice-queen.

Wow. Sounds like your mother really cares about your well being! I'm so sorry OP! I'm sure you have friends who care more than your mother!

It seemed to work in The Giver. No, but that's truly horrible, which is why it reminds me of my own mother. Do you have any close friends or other family members that you can stay with? I hope she turns her bitch-mode off and acts compassionate like a parent should be.

Having had 19 surgeries myself i feel for you OP. At least I always had my grandmother to care for me, even if some family members were less sympathetic. Do you have a friend you could stay with?

Nice. I hope you can repay the gesture sometime soon when she needs something from you.

Like a nice nursing home. When she calls complaining about the filth and negligent care, he can just tell her to think "happy, clean thoughts."

Where you under surgery or are you a doctor?

Oops, Winky Dog messed up. 13 orthopedic surgeries, 1 cosmetic surgery = still 14 surgeries. OP's mom = Ice Queen Bitch of 2012.

Used to live in a terrible apartment building in Idaho with below zero degree weather and snow. Stay warm with a portable plug in heater, OP. Good luck.

I'm guessing hell has frozen over. And that your mother's house is now super cold.

That sucks. Hope she was joking and I hope you recover fast.
