Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML

Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML

Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML

Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My parents, whom I live with, told me that they did not get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML

Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML

Today, for my birthday, my mom presented me with a $4,000 check to pay for my braces. I've been very self-conscious about my teeth for years. Everyone applauded and told me how happy they were for me. Later, my mom asked me for the check back. Apparently it was just meant to make her look good. FML

Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML

Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML

Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML

Wtf. Your brother`s a douche for either keeping the money or not giving you credit as well. And your mom`s a bitch for saying that.

Tell your bro to return the gift, and send you your money back. Go on a minivacation. But buy your mom a present that reminds her she's older now. Just to be evil.

This is probably the best suggestion here. Anyone who complains about not getting an anniversary gift, doesn't deserve one in the first place.

I hope my parents don't expect a lot from me on their 25th this year. I'm going to university and I'm going to be dirt poor in a couple months

No matter what the occasion, gifts are never REQUIRED. I hate people that try to make others feel bad for not getting something for them, especially when you're in the process of doing just that.

Ummmm... Why are you telling us? Why don't you tell her? And if she didn't believe you, so what? Your conscience is clear. That's what matters.

To clarify: #24 was right. My brothers and I are waiting to surprise them, so I didn't want to tell her then. I didn't tell her because I didn't want to ruin the surprise :) The worst part is is can't tell her about being posted here till after she gets the gift! And I DO work for the money :).

Oh WAIT, you didn't give her the gift yet? RETURN IT! Take whatever it is back from where your brother got it and get your money back. Anniversaries should be a celebration between the couple anyway. Make sure you let your mom know that you posted here when the time comes and what an absolute **** everyone here thought she was!
