Today, my mom tells my sister that she is worried about her because she has a headache and feels like she might be getting a slight cold. I have had the flu for two weeks and have a 103 degree fever. I ask, "What about me?" Her response? "Stay away from your sister." FML

Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML

Today, after I sent my daughter to her best friend's house for a week, who lives three hours away, her friend's mom got really sick half way through. My daughter came home early because the mom was too sick. Now my daughter isn't feeling well and I just found the mom has the flu. FML

Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Today, my mom threatened to kick me out for asking if I could skip church for the next few weeks, because, you know, I have Covid and have been told to isolate for ten days, which obviously includes two Sundays. The woman would rather I infect her congregation than let me stay in bed while sick. FML

Today, I’ve been suffering with a fever of 104° as well as an ear and sinus infection. I asked my mom and sister if they could get me meds and fluids from the store. I sent them money through my bank app for the supplies. They took my money and went to lunch instead. I’m still sick as a dog. FML

Today, my mother told my little sister and me that she has breast cancer to make us feel sorry so that we would clean our rooms. She is perfectly fine. My little sister still thinks that "mommy is going to die". FML

Today, my mother bitched me out for not coming to my sister's birthday tomorrow. She's 25 and lives at home, and she, my mother, and father all have Covid. FML

Today, my mum went and told everyone she only went to the doctor after being ill because my brother told her to. It was me who'd been telling her for weeks to go. FML

Today, the day after visiting my grandparents, I woke up with a sore throat and guttural cough. Once again, my mother neglected to tell me that she'd gotten cold symptoms after I saw her. Now I get to hope that she hasn't given me Covid again, and I haven't given it to my frail grandmother. FML

Cough all over your moms toothbrush, silverware, clothes, anything she comes in close contact to.

Bit of an inconsiderate mother. But you might wanna consider the fact that since you've had it for two weeks, she's a little worried your sister will too.

Wow, really guys? First, she hasn't had a 103° fever for two weeks. She's had the flu for two weeks and currently has a 103° fever. Second, as much as I understand the point that her mother is looking out for her other child, I agree that at least partially, this is an FML. I don't know about you guys, but when I'm sick, especially THAT sick, I'm feeling beyond miserable, which means that I'm extra sensitive. OP probably is too. If I was miserable and sensitive, I would probably be pretty crushed if my mom seemed to not care about my well-being as much as my sister's. Personally, my feelings would be hurt too. OP isn't being a "whiny bitch" as a bunch of you are saying. She's sick. OP, try to drink as many fluids as you can to keep your body hydrated, get plenty of rest, and hopefully when you recover, your mom will seem kinder in your eyes.
