Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I opened my Father's Day present from my mother-in-law. It was a glamor shot of her. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, my mother opened her birthday gift in front of my entire family. Two days ago, I ordered an essential oil diffuser and flesh light from Amazon. Guess which one she got? FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, my mom told me she can't wait for me to turn eighteen so she can turn my room into a place for her to display all her antique glass dolls. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML

Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Break it open and see if there's money inside. No, but you should keep it, it's a gift from your mom and it's special to her. Keep it in a box in your closet, but when she comes over, put it up on your dresser.

You should just be grateful you have a mom that cares enough about you to send you a present. There are lot of people out there whose parents don't care about them or people who don't have parents at all. I get all kinds of gifts from my family members that I don't like, but I can still appreciate the thought and the effort that went into picking out or making the gift. Also, she's your mom. Although you are 21 and can legally drink, she probably didn't want to give you alcohol or money for alcohol because she wants you to be safe and when your at college drinking a lot of bad things can happen (alcohol poisoning, date rape, drunk driving, etc.). And although she knows you can obtain alcohol yourself she probably doesn't want to contribute because if something WERE to happen to you, she would probably feel guilty if she contributed to it. Idk, that's just what I would be thinking if my child was away at college were I couldn't be there if they needed me. I would probably feel different if they were close to home though. Maybe that's why she got you a doll instead of something alcohol related.

For all you people bashing her for being ungrateful, creepy doll + college kids results in 90% of people involved being killed in some supernatural way. Don't you know your horror movies?

Hmm... what kind of doll? And don't be spoiled, I'd be happy if my mom sent me something like that, but see, she's one of those people that asks me for money on my birthday rather then think of me. So be happy. One day, you could pass that doll down to your daughter/niece/cousin; and one day, she wont be here and you'll look at that doll in a whole new light.

So? Are you too cool for a doll? Your mom especially picked it out and personalized it for you. As long as I thought the doll was pretty, I would proudly display it on my dresser or something like that...If it's that ugly, just keep it in a spot where only you can see it and it won't be displayed to visitors, like on a shelf in your closet or something, and take it out when she visits.
