Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML

Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML

Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML

Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML

Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML

Today, I got home from college. Since I haven't seen my parents in almost a year I sorta expected them to come meet me/pick me up at the airport. Nope. What did I get instead? A text from my dad saying, "I hope you have a key." FML

Today, as I was about to leave home for my first sweet taste of freedom at my new apartment, my car died. I'm stuck here for at least the weekend and can look forward to my mom driving me to work. Freedom. FML

Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML

Your mother and father are obviously shooting a raunchy fart fetish porno with a few of the neighbours at your house and would rather not include you.

If you don't say why they told you not to come your statement means nothing - maybe they were away for some family celebration, and then it's absolutely nothing, or maybe they just didn't want to see you, and then it's FYL. More specifics! For now, maybe you should just STFU.

The purpose of the FML isn't to spin an elaborate tale of why the mother didn't want her to go back. If the OP feels like delving further into it, they'll come back and do so in the comments. So you can STFU instead,

I really don't think the OP cares WHY his mom told him not to come home. Clearly, the FML here is just the plain and simple fact that she told him not to come.

i agree it is important to tell people the context of the situation because op's mom could love him and given him a perfectly reasonable excuse maybe he is just being a whiney puss, but who knows

Uhh, did you ask why? You called her completely out of the blue. She probably wanted to see you but had other plans and was busy.

Uhh...there is nothing wrong with calling your PARENTS out of the blue telling them you have an opportunity to come visit...I don't know what kind of parents you guys have, but I don't have to ask for permission to come see my parents. If I get there and they're gone then that's bad luck and sucks for me, but since I still have key for the house it wouldn't be too big of a problem. My parents are always happy to see me and if they don't have time for whatever reason they'll say so. But they'd never just tell me "We don't want you to come" o.O

Because, you know, OP's Mom's life completely revolves around him, and she should be happy as hell to change plans at the last minute just for him. Besides, you know how these visits home work: OP comes home carrying a bag of laundry that he wants Mom to wash while he goes out and parties all weekend with his High School friends. Grow the **** up.

maybe OP recieved the answer of why but the 300 word limit stop him from going deeper. or maybe he asked why but she gave no answer. but the bottum line is that he has been gone for two months and he got a cold don't come.

"Cold"? We don't know that. And two months? C'mon, that's not that long. If all his mom said was "Don't come", yeah, that's pretty screwed up. But I'm guessing there is some reason....if nothing else, maybe she's having surgery - to permanently remove the umbilical cord.
