Today, my mom went to the store. She said she was feeling generous, and had gotten everyone a little treat. My brothers each got candy and a movie. I got acne medication. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a birthday present from my boyfriend's mom. It was ProActiv acne solution. He tried to make me feel better by explaining it's because she wants to be able to include me in family pictures. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. FML
Today, I saw what my mom handed out for trick-or-treaters last night. Toothbrushes. Yup, we're that house. FML
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML
Today, I bought my mom a gift certificate for a spa treatment for two so we could spend some quality time together. She took my sister. FML
Today, I was feeling pretty down due to a recent back injury, so I thought I’d do something nice to help lift my spirits. I bought some cookies for my coworkers, who ended up not wanting any, and one of them decided to ask what was wrong with my face. Oh, right, my acne rosacea is flaring too. FML
Today, I walked into the dining room to find my mom popping pimples on my dad's back. FML

What a biast mother! I hate people who favoritize. Couldn't she just treat all of you equally and give you candy and a movie also.

Hey, she's doing you a favor. To them, the candy will last them one or two days but acne medication will probably rid you of acne forever.

Candy that will last a couple of minutes and ultimately just make you gain weight...acne cream that can clear your skin, boost confidence, make you an all around better looking person...? You decide which one "" fits.

Well when your brothers start breaking out from eating that candy don't let them use your acne medication!

Well acne creams better, candy will only make your spots worse, at least you can sort them out now!
