Today, I was at the mall with my mom, when I saw a little pamphlet about a charity for abused children. I showed her and said I was going to donate a few dollars. She quickly said no, calling it a waste of money and muttering that the kids probably deserved it anyway. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, as I spent my last $6 on groceries, the woman at the register gave me a dirty look because I declined to donate $1 to a children's charity. My six year-old son immediately chimed in with, "Mommy, why aren't you helping the poor children?" FML
Today, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate $1 to help hungry children. I said, “Not today, thank you.” The man behind me loudly said, “Wow…” Now everyone thinks I hate children. I'm just that broke. FML
Today, I tried to give some change to a homeless man. My girlfriend pulled me away and ranted about how homeless people are all basically bastards who deserve their misfortune, and that I shouldn't give "our" money away. FML
Today, my sister attempted to get me to fund her daughter, my godchild's, birthday party. I told her I would give her 200 (which isn't much). Our mom "intervened" by cussing me out for being a cheap ass piece of shit. I was about to give her $200, which is A LOT in our currency when exchanged. FML
Today, I went shopping with my mother, when someone snuck a pack of condoms into our cart while our backs were turned. When we got to the register, my mom, whose wealth makes me ineligible for financial aid, noticed the condoms and she announced that she wasn't paying for the college I got accepted to next year because she doesn't want a promiscuous daughter. FML
Today, I was stopped at a light when a woman approached, asking for help to buy food. I told her I only had a dollar, but she could have it. After I gave it to her, she stepped back, held it up, then proceeded to tear it into pieces, before walking away while calling me a cheapskate. Really? FML
Today, a lady I know gave my 3 year-old daughter a little coin purse, saying, "Your mum can put some money in that for you." My daughter responded, "But mummy has no money." I would have laughed, had it not been spot on. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, I decided I need help, so I confessed to my mother that I'm bulimic. After she looked it up online she started screaming at me for "Wasting food that I'm not paying for." FML
Today, I bought my mother an expensive TV she had been looking at. After I bought it, she continued browsing for more stuff. I told her I couldn't afford the extra items. She got mad and called me "selfish". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Do it anyways. Two reasons: 1. You will be donating for good :) 2. You can be a ******* rebel ;)

If you were going to donate it, she can't say no. It's your money you do with it what you wish, and if you think it's something you should donate some money to then do so.

That's actually quite terrifying.

They deserve to be abused? Really? No offense, OP, but your mom sounds awful. No rational, caring human being would say something like that.

As someone who has ongoing struggles with parents, I would highly advise you to donate something. Maybe your mother just doesn't realize how you can be changing lives for the better.

wow, doesn't sound like an incredibly kind woman. but regardless, your money, and it is towards a very good cause.

Although her 'they deserved it' reasoning is absolute bonkers and stupid and wrong on so many levels she's probably right. Very few legit charities exist out there, most of the time the money you donate will never reach their advertised targets(not all of it anyway),it's a mix of scams, bureaucracy, etc..

On her birthday dont buy her shit, tell her it would have been a waste of money and she probably didnt deserve it anyways. Karma.

deserved it anyways? what the actual ****. in my opinion thats the shit that needs to be adressed, not spend your money how you want. im not a pretend psychologist like 99% of other commenters but im pretty sure basic common sense agrees that train of thought is ******

Unless you're saying FML because you have a rude mother, I don't see what the big deal is. Your mother does need to pull her head out of her ass though... that's just wrong. It's not the kids fault their parents are human waste.
