Today, my mother has stooped to a new level of "hiding" Christmas gifts. She now just dumps them in the middle of the floor and says, "Don't look at them." If she even thinks I'm glancing in the direction of the pile, she will burst into a manic rage, and yell at me for "ruining the surprise." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, it's Christmas Day. Normally, my family would be opening gifts right now. Instead, my mom is holding our gifts hostage until we clean the house. Apparently, "The presents aren't going anywhere." FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my mother has issued a 'Christmas Ultimatum'. The rest of us have exactly 2 days to "get some Christmas around here" or we will feel her wrath. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, my parents refused to give my daughter her Christmas presents as an act of revenge against her father. FML
Today, it's that time of year again: my mom has threatened to disown me if I celebrate Christmas in any way, shape, or form. Yes, she is an extreme bible thumper. No, she doesn't see what is wrong with her behavior, nor does she care. FML
Today, my mother snapped and took her frustrations out on me. Whenever she has a problem with other family members, it falls on me because she can't show them her true face to them. And she wonders why I hide away all the time… 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, my mother was digging up our Halloween decorations, and found the Christmas decorations as well. She's shoddily decorated the house already in half-Halloween and half-Christmas style to save time. I guess we'll be celebrating Christmasween for the rest of the year. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe she's just had enough of you snooping around? You should have been grateful to get presents and respected her wish of keeping them a surprise since it obviously meant a lot to her. Well done, douche.
hannaaaahr 33
oh yeah so OP is a douche for accidentally looking at presents that were stacked up in the middle of the room? sounds fair enough.
mbuck87 19
I think you're right, my guess is OP has snooped around for presents and found them every other time so mum's had enough

your mom needs to calm the fk down its Christmas nothing special Santa is fake it's from coca cola, ur mom Prob doesn't have a knowledge base on it, also she is over reacting to a small situation which is really silly/stupid. To my point of view she is acting like a 10 year old. Seriously ur mother needs to grow up.....

15, it made my day that even the FML Team felt it necessary to correct your stupidity.

#15: That was painful to read. I suggest you attend a few grammar and punctuation classes before you comment again.

Even tho if Santa is a myth and he is not real even tho his not from coca cola, anyways... She needs to calm down. Its her fault to leave all the stuff on the floor
Pleonasm 36
I think that Coca cola just took his identity and used it for publicity.

#26 Even tho I didn't know where Santa was from. IDC. The whole reason is the mom is dumb

#21 It's not my fault, I'm not born in america I don't know ur holiday history? So chill, I got it wrong.. Ok? Who gives a shit
hannaaaahr 33
jingman, if you don't know where Santa is from, don't pretend you do. Also, if you get any gifts this year, please ask Santa to send you back to school, because you obviously need that. ps. Santa's from the North Pole.

#37 Are u retarted u dont get gifts from santa u get gifts from friends and family, why would i go back to school im on my 8 year university for doctor degree
Pleonasm 36
32 - Good Lord. First of all, it's not just for Americans. Second, it's not history, it's very much in the present, are you clueless about such a large topic? I mean it's only the buzz of most of the northern hemisphere every december. Lastly, chill! I mean don't say you don't care just because he corrected you- I mean you're the person who went on ranting that it was fake and made up by coca cola like a big conspiracy in the first place. Now you're being called out on it, and you don't wan tto admit that you're spouting bullshit so you're trying to take an easy escape.

#39 So what even tho idk about santa, who gives a crap plz read the top comments and u will understand, im a immigrant and ive never learned about santa to stfu, its not gonna kill me if i dont know about it-.-

Jiangmsntiv, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt regarding your piss poor writing skills, since I don't know whether or not you're a native English speaker. I also agree with you that the mother in this FML is being ridiculous. However, why would you (incorrectly) proclaim that Santa is a myth created by Coca Cola with such conviction, only to then admit that you really don't know anything about Santa or Christmas tradition? If you don't know about something, don't pretend that you do, and then you'll avoid making such mistakes. And, FYI, Santa isn't entirely myth either, although there are many fantastical myths about him. His name was Nicholas and he used to give children presents on Christmas. After his death, he was later sainted, "Saint Nicholas," or, as he's more commonly known, "Saint Nick."
Pleonasm 36
You, learn. Learn to write, and learn to not say bullshit about shit you know nothing about then. I mean, why pretend you know about Santa, when you're backtracking now? You seem to give a crap; it looks like it's getting to you.

Is there a problem with my writing? How? I thought he was from coca cola ...

#42 First of all I'm typing so Idc if I make writing mistakes. I obviously don't have auto correct on. You can only say that my " writing skills is bad" I'm on a phone calm down, I don't check for grammars when I type
Sinkhole 26
Then when do you check for grammar? I thought that grammar was most important when writing/typing.
gracehi 33
Not trying to be mean, but yes, you are making many mistakes, regarding grammar, punctuation, and spelling. To be completely honest, your comments are a little difficult to read because of it. I'm guessing English isn't your first language, so I understand if you don't realize it. Again, not trying to be mean, but you probably would benefit from some English composition classes. Anyway, if you were mistaken, but THOUGHT you knew about Santa's origins, I suppose that's understandable too, however, when something like that happens, there's no need to be so hostile to people who correct you. And guys, while Santa is an international icon, there are some nations where only a small minority of people celebrate Christmas, because a religion other than Christianity is very dominant in the society, so it's also not unreasonable that someone might not know much about Christmas or Santa.

Made my day :)

Wth?Slow down there #15. Santa did not come from Coca Cola
chinchily 12
48. Is completely correct! And I am going to be a little harsh on this... If you're in your 8th year of collage... To be a doctor... Shouldn't your writing skills be really good?
Pleonasm 36
Didn't know that being good at collage qualified you for being a doctor. Must have some epic skills.

PHD in collaging! Kid is a prodigy! Can stick any image next to another one on a piece if cardboard and BAM, relevant

How did Coca-Cola come into this?

Then it's your responsibility to "check for grammars".

Wow #15 I just gotta say ouch that face palm you just had there will sting for weeks... ALAN awesome absolutely epic.

I would close my eyes then put a blanket or something over them

Everybody needs to calm down. We don't know enough to accuse OP of snooping, so stop saying she deserves it. For all we know the mom is just being unreasonable. Or not. Again, there isn't enough information to go accusing her either.
jiangmantv 4
I totally agreed that mom lack of knowledge and stupid ... Can't blame her
Werken247 14
Info? We don't no stinkin' info! This is FML, just gather a mob, grab some pitchforks and torches and burn something down! We'll sort out the facts later... or not.

You ought to do your best Sgt. Schulz impression and say, "I see nuzzink!" I doubt Hogan's Heroes is very popular in Germany, though, but if you manage to have a look, I think you'll be able to nail the accent.
