Today, after leaving my mom's house, I got 4 text messages from her about how I was a terrible person for not saying goodbye to my sister when I left. The "sister" she was referring to is the family dog. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom confessed to loving my "little sister" more than she loves me. My "little sister" is the family dog. FML
Today, I told my mom she made me feel unloved my whole life. She called my sister and apologized. FML
Today, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room watching TV when I heard my mother obnoxiously yelling for the dog. Minutes later she stomped into my room, swatted me over the head, and yelled at me for not answering when she called. She actually got my name mixed up with the dog's. FML
Today, my mom was in a really bad mood, so I stayed in my room to avoid her. It didn't take long before she barged in and started bitching about my dog, who'd pissed her off by acting too happy. Yes, she's actually that insane, and I have to deal with it on a daily basis. FML
Today, I went on a run with the family dog. I returned home to three missed calls and a hysterical voicemail from my dad. Why? The dog was gone. Not me, his 15 year-old daughter, the dog. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
Today, I heard someone calling my name. It was my neighbor. Turns out they named their dogs after my mother, my sister, and me. FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Like the dog would've understood... Still though, many people attach human-level emotions to pets, me included

Scooby Doo. I'll give you one guess what he did for a Scooby Snack.

The fact that the family dog is now referred to as your sister is sad.

As far as your bro is concerned, you're pack mates, which is basically family and then some.

It's an adopted family member. Your mother is showing her animal respect, and that is advanced.

How could you not?! D=

Maybe they got the dog after OP moved out and she's not particularly attached to it.

Pets are family

I love my animals, but that is utterly ridiculous.

i could never understand how people refer to dogs or cats as your "brother" or "sister". i love my dogs but theres a line

yeah or call themselves, the mommy or daddy. That's just plain stupid.

Agreed. I mean, look at it this way... If the dog dies, that's very sad and everyone will cry. If your CHILD dies, you are broken for the rest of your life. They're part of the family, for sure, but they are not people.

But, #39, pets stay with you when they pass away, too. It might not ruin the rest of your life, but they're missed for years and years just like any other family member.

YDI. Would it hurt you to say goodbye to the dear doggy before you leave? She likely knows you, hopefully likes you, a cuddle and goodbye before you go isn't asking much!

I agree, but the four texts from her mom are a bit much.

OP you could've tell your mom that the dog did not answered your greetings and that your feelings are hurt. Lol.

To be honest, the dog is the one I would actually want to say goodbye to, not that they really understand.

you mean you can't speak dog? Maybe next regeneration!

If you repeat an action or phrase everytime you leave they will eventually associate it to be a way you say goodbye.

Actually dogs can know what you're saying I have a three year old mix breed and my mom and me talk to her and she understands what we're saying
