Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, my mother dragged me to the mall to get me out of the house and to get me to stop using my phone. She then spent the whole trip talking on her phone instead of actually interacting with me. FML

Lost
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML

Thanks but no thanks
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML

Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML

Thanks, I guess…
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML

Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Still Waiting

Welcome home!
Today, I had an appointment. After 2 hours of waiting in the sun, my mom finally picked me up and lectured me on how irresponsible my dad was for not communicating with her. Not 5 minutes after I got home, my dad showed up and gave me the same exact lecture about my mom. FML

Another non-emergency
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML

Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

"Hmm, Christmas I'll be in Mexico. Hmm when's your birthday again? I'll be busy then too. The only time I can pencil you in would be April fools day. Would that work?"

At least she won't be able to turn around and say that she has other plans on the day?

Most people plan their days/week out. Especially, if they work 40+ hours a week. Hopefully, she cleared enough time on her busy schedule so you feel like you've had quality time with her. I'm sure you had to check your plans too. I sometimes feel like there aren't enough hours in a day.

I don't think this is that bad. If your mum is busy and you are old enough to take care of yourself, it's nice that she's setting aside a chunk of time to devote to you. If she gives you her undivided attention during that time, what's the problem? It's a date. Now if she completely ignores your assistance until your date or she can't make time for you for weeks on end, there's a problem.

WTF? I think I meant existence. No idea what the hell I was thinking when I typed this.

If she's so organised, at least she's not likely to forget your birthday.
