Today, I had to go along with my mom to meet some of her old friends from high school. When they asked her about how her life was going, she said she was married, always traveling, no kids, and introduced me as the neighbor's kid she babysits. FML

Today, my mom decided to have a get together at my house while I was at work. When I came home, she pulled me aside and asked me to pretend to be her maid. FML
Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML
Today, I found out that all of the times my mom told me that she was busy out of town wasn’t due to work, it was that she was going on vacations with her boyfriend and his kids. FML
Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML
Today, my ex-husband came to pick up our two kids for his weekend with them. Seeing his new girlfriend was in the car, and desperate for conversation, I asked her name. My kids unhesitatingly blurted out, "Mom". FML
Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

Why would she bring a kid she babysits with her when she goes to meet her friends? She's terrible at lying. FYL.

I know about the human mind and I can certainly grasp the fact that even middle aged people can be vindictive, but if the mother was so tortured in high school by people and was so insecure that she felt she needed to lower herself, then she wouldn't have gone. Like I said, she didn't do it because of some snotty women she used to know in high school. She did it because she's self-indulgent and conceited. I don't have to be around middle aged women to know this. The human mind is complex, but motherly insict should over power any type of "insecurity" and since it didn't, it makes her a horse shit mother.

Ok so if you aren't her kid then you don't have to listen to what she says anymore correct? But really you should have called her out on it and made it obvious to her "friends" that she was lying.

I wasn't aware that I said she wouldn't have gone to high school. I said if she was so "tortured" in high school than she wouldn't have gone to the reunion. I think I'm going to agree to disagree, given that it's apparent the mother has some deep, unresolved issues with herself.

You should have embarrassed her. I would have called her out on that if my mom did that to me. Hell, I would have been like "What are you talking about MOM? Now lets go, we need to pick my baby up from the sitters!". Not only would she be your mom, but she would be a young grandma as well, lol.

Pressured or not, she shouldn't have said it. end of story.

She should have acknowledged that you were her kid.... It would have given her a) an excuse for being slightly overweight, or b) amazement from all of her friends that she was still skinny.
