Today, my brother had his fiancée over to meet the whole family. We were having a great time with her, and my mother gushed to her that she was like the daughter she never had. I'm her daughter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my mom's fiancé. He's a nice guy, he's also my wife's dad. I'll soon call my wife my sister. FML
Today, I went to a family reunion with my brother and my mother. She spent quite a while giving a glowing introduction for my brother to one of her cousins. Then, just before walking off, she jerked a thumb in my direction and said, "Oh, yeah, and that's his sister." FML
Today, my fiancé and I visited his family for dinner. The entire time I was there, his mother and sister had an in depth conversation about how attractive his ex girlfriends were and how they got along with them so well. FML
Today, I met my sister's fiancé. I would have been happier for her if he hadn't been mine a month ago when I introduced them. FML
Today, I brought my new girlfriend home for dinner. My mom was being unusually quiet, so I thought she was trying to be polite. After dinner, she pulled me aside and asked why I'd never mentioned that my girlfriend had dated my brother. Apparently everyone knew except me. FML
Today, I showed up at my brother's house for a visit. Little did I know, there was a family gathering. My best friend was invited and I wasn't. She's "more fun and less awkward" than I am. FML
Today, I went to meet the girl I'd been talking to online for a while, and fallen in love with. When I arrived at her house, my brother answered the door and took a picture of my shocked face. He and his girlfriend had planned the entire thing because I'm apparently the most gullible member of the family. FML
Today, I went to my fiancé's mother's funeral. His step-sister proudly announced that she's pregnant with his baby and they are engaged. FML
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom and my dad met for the first time. We discovered that they are each other's exes, and not only that, my girlfriend, whom I have been dating, hanging out, confiding with, being intimate with, shared each other's first times, and plan to marry, is actually my half-sister. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should've wiggled your boobs in front of her face and said, "What the hell do you think these are?"

Well she's going to be a mother-in-law, so basically that's her daughter-in-law. So yeah, it really is a "daughter she never had." I don't think this is a FML unless you're taking it the wrong way. I mean it's a happy time for your brother and parents, so yeah, they might draw attention away from you, and perhaps you're just interpreting things differently than you should. I think the illusion that you came up with is completely fabricated in your mind. Just chill out and don't take things as literal meaning all the time.

Well, you know what to do: -Meet your sister-in-law's parents -Take copious notes -Tell your mom perfectly innocently what incredibly successful people and what great parents they are ;-) #14: Well, it's hard to tell for sure without more context, I guess the OP is the one who knows best. If her mom is the type that ignores her or makes snide remarks, it's not unreasonable to assume her mom was being a bitch. I know parents like that, I can tell you.

#11 just because it happened on friends doesn't mean it didn't happen to this person too

First of all its just a figure of speech and you shouldnt think tomuch of it. Second; unless she's exactly like you then there is no way you should be offended by it seeing that then she indeed would b the daughter she never had, because she had you, who is different from her.

She probably didn't mean it. She just wanted her to feel welcomed.

after meeting her parents, tell your mom that the fiance's parents are like the ones you've always wanted.

Next time your mom yells at you for something or goes "I can do this because I am your mother," inform her that "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had a mother."
