Today, I got together a surprise party for my mom's birthday. I invited all her friends and her douchebag boyfriend who I don't get along with. When my mom got home, he took credit and got her friends to back him up with bribing. My mom said I'm selfish and horrible for not trying for her. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to bring my obnoxious ex to my birthday party. FML
Today, I discovered that the reason my mom hasn't been noticing the extra cleaning I've done lately is because her boyfriend took credit when she asked about it; and was rewarded for it in bed. I helped him get with my mom. FML
Today, I got yelled at by my mom for not being surprised enough at my surprise birthday party. She'd told me about it while drunk the night before. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML
Today, one of my boyfriend's friends ranted on about how I am such a crappy girlfriend and how all of his friends don't like me. I just spent over $200 on a surprise party that I invited them all to last weekend. FML
Today, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me, after I'd said multiple times that I didn't want one. I turned and left and now everybody is angry at me and calling me ungrateful and spoiled. FML
Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML
Today, my mom tried to worm her way back into my life by manipulating my brother into doing the dirty work for her. I pretended to swallow the bullshit and invited her over, just so I could slam the door in her face. My brother says I went too far, like he somehow forgot what a shit mom she was. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

I can't belive your mother's friends did that..

That's a lovely gesture for your mother OP! The truth will come out eventually... It's just incredibly selfish of him to take the credit.

As a father, I don't understand parents who put their romantic relationships ahead of their trust in and emotional well being of their own children.

Some parents don't value the treasure they have in their kids.

You need to start secretly recording what's going on, otherwise your mom isn't going to believe you, sadly. I mean you'd think she'd believe her own child over a boyfriend. Good luck :(

Let your mom have her party and her fun, then a day or two later pull her aside and explain what happened to her. By then, the emotions of the day will have passed and more than likely at least one of her friends might have at least hinted at what actually happened. If when explained, calmly and rationally, she believes her boyfriend over you, you may have decide what kind of relationship you are willing to have with her.

YOU know you did this for your mom. That's all that matters. Your act of kindness says a lot.

How awful. :( I will never understand parents who choose to put others like that before their own child.

And I thought MY dad's girlfriend was a douchebag. OP, in your place I would seriously do something about it

How did you invite people? Emails or texts would be all the proof you need. First try just telling her when you're on your own with proof ready if she doesn't believe you.

Explain what happened

They tried, the mother didn't believe OP. Especially since her friends were bribed by the bf to vouch for him

I'd take her aside and explain it to her. While you're at it, if she doesn't already know then tell her about how you and her boyfriend don't get along.

To be honest they sound perfectly suited for each other. The best thing you could do would be to let them get married and make each other miserable.
