Today, I cleared out the messages in my voicemail. Of the 50+ messages, most were from my mother wanting to know when I'd be home. I'm 27. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mother panicked and was about to report me missing when I didn't answer her calls while I was at a movie. I'm 31, and have lived on my own for over 10 years. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, I finally taught my mom how to text message people. Now I get a message from her every 30 seconds saying "Hi". FML
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML
Today, I was able to check my voicemail and email for the first time in two weeks. The only message I got was from my landlord telling me that the house I'm renting is in foreclosure, and I needed to have all my stuff out in ten days. He left the message nine days ago. FML
Today, my mom learned how to use the text messaging on her smartphone. I've received 37 already, and she calls after every single one to make sure I understood her. FML
Today, after we got home from the doctor's office, my mom checked the voicemail. Loud and clear, we both heard my boyfriend's break-up message. My parents had already forbidden me from dating. FML
Today, a telemarketer called and asked if they could speak to my "Mommy or Daddy." I'm 25 years old. FML
Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML
Today, my mother-in-law took a phone message on the back of my marriage license. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Doesn't seem that bad to me (this is under the assumption that it's on 50 different days). My mum likes to know when I'll be home (I'm 21) so she knows if she has to provide dinner for me or if someone has to pick me up from the station - stuff like that.

Your mom loves you so much that she wants you to be home to accompany her everyday.

Geez, what is it with the clingy moms? The OP's post is unclear as to whether or not he/she lives with the mother but what is crystal clear is that the OP is an adult. If the OP still lives with the mother in her home then the OP is stuck living by the mom's rules to a large extent. This means things like telling her when he/she will be home so Mom can serve dinner accordingly. If this is the case, move out already. If money is the problem, find a roommate. If the OP does not live with the mother, then this is another case of the 'Saran wrap mother' who we have previously met in another FML following a child to work and staring through the window. If the OP does not live with the mother and the mother calls constantly to find out when this person is planning to go home, then this is another mother with too much time on her hands who frets about the whereabouts of her adult child instead of living her own life. So if this is the case, this woman needs to find something new to occupy her mind and time. She needs to get a job or volunteer. My best friend's mother-in-law was EXACTLY like this until her son cleverly got her to sign up as a volunteer at the local hospital, where she met other ladies with similar interests. Now she is busy at the hospital, where I am sure they appreciate having extra help they don't have to pay for, and has an active social life with her new circle of friends. She went from being the world's biggest butt-insky to hardly being around.

To paraphrase your comment: OP, find your mom some old people to hang out with.
