Animals: Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest...

By KitKat270 - 28/05/2009 01:40 - Canada

Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I got a phone call saying I was no longer a bridesmaid for a wedding in June. It's my mom's 4th wedding. I'm getting replaced by our dog. FML

Priorities

Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML

Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML

Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML

The doggo of our discontent

By doggone shame - 25/01/2023 08:00

Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML

Insane

By moving out first chance I get! - 03/03/2023 18:00

Today, my insane mother struck again. She refused to drive me to my doctor’s appointment for my asthma because the office won’t let her bring her precious doggo inside and it’s too cold to sit in the car with it. No, she won’t leave it at home like a normal person, and no it’s not a service dog. FML

Manage this

By fuck this company - 14/06/2021 07:01 - United States

Today, the same manager who wrote me up for missing work when my mom had had a stroke, thought it was perfectly acceptable to announce she was leaving work 6 hours early to take her dogs to the groomers. Apparently, that appointment was more urgent than me riding in an ambulance with my mother. FML

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I didn't attend her dog's funeral, and was therefore an insensitive bastard. I couldn't attend because my mum has cancer and I was driving her to a hospital appointment. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

#2 I'd think that her daughter's wedding is more important than this. If the dog is so important, she should have made plans for someone else to watch the dog that day so she could be there the whole time to support her daughter.

I agree with #13. What's the big deal? Jesus she's not SKIPPING the whole freaking wedding here, there is nothing wrong with going home real quick to let the dog out so he/she doesn't pee all over the house. OP you might need to be less of a Bridezilla.

I don't see the problem with it #9. She'll come back afterwards probably so... yes my mom could go away for 20 minutes.

that is absolutely ridiculous...your mother being at your wedding is way more important than making sure the dog gets out to go to the bathroom...bitch. she shouldve had someone else ******* watch it. im so sorry =(

overexaggerating. Your life must really be f'ed if you have to come up with a crap story like that.

#2 (Broc) is right on the money. The OP is clearly one of those vapid, gullible women who thinks that her wedding day will be the most important day of her life. Well, she's bound to be disappointed. A wedding is nothing more than a silly, remarkably self-indulgent ceremony. If you genuinely care about the person you're with, it really should be no more than a formality to you. And all the women agreeing with the OP need to grow up as well.

Dogs pee. You can't help it. She can't help it. She probably should've arranged for someone to take care of her dog during your wedding, but not everyone's got the brains to do that sort of thing. If she's coming back though, big deal? It's not like you're going to be looking at her the whole reception, it's YOUR wedding. Shouldn't you be paying attention to your new husband? It would me a major diss though if this was your mother-in-law.

why not just leave the dog outside? why has nobody considered that? most people DO leave their dogs outside because they're dirty, smelly and bring fleas and worms into the house

Outside where? The backyard? What if she doesn't have a backyard?

Depends on where you live i guess. Ive never seen anyone leave their dog outside, theyre a part of the family. If youre gnna fail to take care of your pet, just dont get one. Pretty sure where im from thatd be classed as neglect.
