Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother told me to my face that if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have had kids. Thanks, Mum. It's not like I asked to be born. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I was ugly. She said, "Ask your girlfriend." I said I didn't have one. She said "Exactly." FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, I asked my mom why nobody likes me. She reeled off about a dozen reasons. FML
Today, a woman asked why my daughter doesn't look remotely like me. I just smiled and shrugged it off, but the truth is that she looks exactly like I did before I got my botched plastic surgery. FML
Today, my 5-year-old daughter said "Mommy, why doesn't anyone wanna marry you?" I've been asking myself the same question for all too many years. FML
Today, I asked my mother why she had me in the first place, as we never get along. She replied because my father wanted me. So, I called my father to ask him the same question, he said he only wanted to have me to keep my mother around, and that didn't work, so I was a waste. FML

She's kind of insulting herself too by saying that...

By saying that isn't she insulting herself...?

Cheer up OP. Downside, your mum is an utter bitch. Upside, now you know exactly how not to behave if you ever have children of your own. That said, I propose implementing a surprise laxative dinner sometime in your mother's near future. c:

You should have replied "yeah when you get it right the first time there's no need to try again."

It's good she didn't have more children then, being a mother who feels that way about her only child.

Perhaps OP quite richly deserved that recrimination? The phrase look in a mirror just as often refers to soul searching as physical appearance.

I'm sure she meant that following your perfection she needed no more! You're beautiful, OP! :)
