Today, my mom drove my family to the desert for a themed family photo. We had to wear big frumpy old western-looking clothes in 115 degree weather. Hot and agitated, I muttered, "This is the ugliest thing I've ever had to wear." My mom, looking hurt, replied, "That's my wedding dress." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML
Today, I drove my cousin to her wedding. The photographer said I was too ugly for the official photos so they searched the crowd for a good looking guy to pose as the driver in my new car. No one in the crowd stopped to defend me. My mom told me it's my own fault. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at pictures from the beach. She goes, "That is a REALLY ugly picture of Michelle" (my cousin). The picture was of me. FML
Today, my mom and I took my senile grandmother to the mall, since she doesn't get out much. She complained it was hot, then took her clothing off in the middle of the food court. It took us thirty minutes to make her put her shirt back on. FML
Today, I went to my parents' for dinner, who greeted me outside and immediately my mom said, “What are you wearing? Go to my room and change your shirt.” I was with my husband and I’m 47. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, I went to visit my overly-posh mother for the first time in many years. Upon arrival, she kicked me out because my outfit did not follow the same color-scheme as her decor. FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I posted a picture of myself in a new outfit on Instagram. A few minutes later, my mom commented, “You look gorgeous, but why does your shirt look like it’s from the 90s?” I was too embarrassed to respond, so I just deleted the post. FML

Why was her wedding dress desert themed?

If you see an ugly baby and say "wow, look at that ugly baby" and someone says "that's my baby". Does that make it less ugly? The same with your mom's dress.

you should have kept that comment to yourself. I mean my mom is always wanting me to wear tacky clothes but I always dissuade her about not fitting me or something. it sucks hurting your mom's feelings. :( be careful with what you say next time.

Don't blame the OP because her mom has crappy taste in dresses.

I do blame the OP because while it might have been an ugly dress, being an ugly person is worse. She didn't have to make the comment and make her mom feel bad. The dress was probably important to her and hearing that being said about would be terrible. Maybe the OP should have sucked it up, worn the damn dress, and been able to take it off in just a little while. Cause this post just sounds like she was in a pissy mood and took it out on her mom.

so #56, you've never once said something rude when you were in an unpleasant situation?
twigs899 0
of course I have, but I definetly deserved what came of it. So does she. And a wedding dress Isnt really something to be rude about, as it was probably special to her mother. So she also deserves it for not having the sense to look down at what she was wearing XD

YDI for being a whiny insensitive bitch. have you honestly never seen a picture of your parents wedding? people like you are why young people get a bad rap these days. I'm only 21 but disrespectful ppl like you are the reason I hate "kids these days"

You deserve it simply for being rude. Even if it was the ugliest thing in the world but your mother picked it out for you, you should have some class and suck it up for a few hours. She's your mother for God's sake. I'm sure she would appreciate some respect and less of your bitchy little remarks.

Well, your mom would appear to be a few pumpkins short of a full pie — both for driving you out into the middle of nowhere to have such a photo (WTF) and for putting you in her wedding dress (also WTF) — but the consequences for the complaint were something you brought upon yourself.

ORLY? Ever been to the California/Nevada border (aka - the DESERT) in July? Death Valley? Are you really from SoCal? lol

115 degrees this time of year? You're out of your mind.

Hey, smart one. I live near Death Valley (and in the desert, if that wasn't obvious), and NO it's not that hot here right now. July is a different story, but this is February, kid.

True but like stated OP said TODAY which is Feb. 25 Not July. I go to the desert all the time on CA & AZ border, no where near 115 in the sand dunes.

You did know that the "TODAY" and the "FML" are automatically added to every submission, right? People submit things all the time that didn't necessary happen TODAY. Should the OP have saved this til July to submit? probably... but it doesn't make it BS.
