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?"

Haha ouch. That reminds me of when my father remarked, after my brother had left for college, that it was lonely having an empty nest. I was still in the proverbial "nest".

My mom is like that too, but worse. She would actually mean it. I simply realized a long time ago that we're very different people. She's evil, and I'm not. ;) In all seriousness though, what helped me was realizing that it was simply the way she was, and had *nothing* to do with me personally. She'll never be the mother that she probably should be, but then again I'm not the daughter she wanted either. She's just a really selfish person. Anyway, I got over it. Doesn't mean it can't hurt sometimes, but I simply shrug my shoulders and say 'Yeah, that's her.' and move on. I also recognize that while it is that way, she *does* care. Twice I was in the hospital extremely sick, after moving out, and both times she and my father rushed to my side. I would also be there for her too. And ultimately that's family, people you might not have chosen for friends, and you sometimes don't even like...but you love unconditionally.

So this isn't FML, unless you have every single personality type there is, including static never changing versions of all of them

25, What I was getting at is that parents can love their brainy, quiet child who is always reading a book just as much as their outgoing child, who loves the outdoors, and is never seen without a skateboard in hand, loves shopping, and hates book. Saying someone with Type A personality is just like the daughter you never had, when your daughter is type B personality, is a **** your daughters life - unless your daughter is mentally unstable and takes everything is an insult

My mom once told my best friend that she was like the daughter she never had.

#12: Why are there comments like this every time there's an anonymous FML post? Do you really think someone named NO NAME has a really shitty life?

#11, it doesn't have to be made up, if you didn't know, that s a very common phrase, and on friends all rachael said was "she told me i was like the daughter she never had"

Hmm. there is actually a profile for a user named "Noname" so maybe some of these people aren't as intentionally stupid as they first seem by thinking Noname is all the same user. Some may have decided to look the person up to make sure it wasn't another term for Anonymous before posting their idiotic reply about Noname's life
