Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, I texted my mom and had to explain to her that calling me repeatedly at 2 a.m. because you're bored and want to talk is not really a good idea. Seriously, nothing happened, she just wanted to chat because she had nothing else to do. Her response to my message? She started calling me again. FML
Today, while I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my phone rang. She immediately exclaimed, "I'm not calling you! Why is it going off?" She was serious. My own mother doesn't believe people talk to me. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

Your mom was probably being facetious to make the point that you should call her more often. And this swine flu shit is NOT all that serious. There are less than 500 confirmed cases out of 6 billion people in the world, and even fewer have died of it. More people die from cancer, AIDS and car accidents EVERY SINGLE DAY. Just wash your damn hands like they taught you in preschool and you'll be fine.

YDI because this FML has already been posted before, in a different way though.

i agree with #5, I am so sick of the media blowing everything out of proportion in the U.S.A and Canada.

you people who are complaining about the swine flu being stupid have no idea how ridiculous it actually is... my school is closed for 2 weeks because like 2 people had it. that sucks about your mom though.. i'm sorry :/

#51: Maybe, just maybe, the school knows how paranoid people are getting over this and are afraid this paranoia could get out of hand and they could get in trouble (imagine a third kid gets the flu, and the parents think this flu is worse than a normal flu so they sue the school for not closing). Or maybe this flu IS in fact a lot more dangerous than a regular flu. I don't know, but my point is the fact that a school closes is not good evidence. Otherwise, I think OP's mom may have been upset because she didn't get calls more often. "A few weeks" sounds like almost a month. Mother is family, not talking to her for so long seems quite insensitive to me (but maybe OP want to call earlier but really could not do it). I can't just blame the mother without more information.

Aww my dad is like that sometimes, just hangs up without even saying goodbye or letting me finish my sentence. But I hope you called her up again and told her that what she did was rather insensitive, swine flu or not.
