Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Today, my Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Today, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML
Today, I got flowers from a secret admirer. Turns out they were from my sister's in-laws who own a flower shop. Apparently, everyone feels bad that I'm single and they are convinced I'm gonna die alone. FML
Today, I received gorgeous orchids from my long distance boyfriend. I was excited about it and told my parents. They still are convinced I have no boyfriend and I mailed the flowers to myself. FML
Today, I received a bunch of flowers from my 'lover'. This would be fine, except that I don't have a lover, and my boyfriend now thinks I'm cheating. FML
Today, I sent a love letter I'd written meant for my crush to a friend so she could evaluate my prose before I actually sent it to him. For some reason, my emotions got the best of me, and I mistakenly CC'd my mom. She replied with three crying-with-laughter emojis. FML
Today, I resorted to buying some expensive flowers and sending them to my boss anonymously with a mysterious love letter, just to get her to lighten the hell up and stop constantly harassing and berating me over every little thing. FML
Today, I arranged to have some flowers delivered at work for Valentine's Day so that my colleagues will think someone likes me. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know that it must have been embarrassing, but be grateful that your mom is still alive. It's almost the one year anniversary of my mother's death, and today I keep hearing about how it's the start of the Chinese "Year of the Metal Tiger" (which was my mom's sign). It's been a depressing, crappy, grief filled day for me. I'd give anything to get flowers from my mom, so count your blessings.

Damn you bitch! Maybe she was just being thoughtful and it had nothing to do with thinking your life is pathetic.

Your mom is nice. Start appreciating it.

that's not necessarily true my mom and dad give me valentine's gifts every year and they don't think i'm pathetic. she probably doesn't think you're pathetic, they're just flowers. be happy you got them. or if it bothers you that much, stop spending all your time bitching on this site and go get a date.

wow you are pretty ridiculous. Valentine's Day is not just a day to spend with a significant other. It is about those that are close to you who care about you as well. Be thankful that you have a mom who cares about you and wants to send you a little detail to show that she loves you and stop being a whiny brat because you don't have "someone" to spend Valentine's Day with. This is not a FML just so you know.

How is this an FML. my mom gets me a present every year and I get her one and no I'm not single. We are sorry that your mom loves you and was thinking of you.

Or... your mom just loves you? Jeeze. When did people get so cynical and jaded that a mother can't even send her kid flowers for Valentine's Day without bitching? Be happy that you have a parent who cares... a lot of people aren't as fortunate!
