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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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

way to ruin the surprise

I used to go out of my way to hide the gifts & my kids would find them! So, one year, I put them in the back bedroom, threw a sheet over them & figured I'd just let them find the gifts! Christmas came, I wrapped everything & the kids were like "Where'd you hide the gifts? We couldn't find them!" I never told them that they were sitting in the middle of the bedroom floor! They wouldn't go in that room because they were sure it was haunted! Lol!!

In answer to all the questions about all the YDIs, I'm guessing people assume that OP was looking toward the gifts, but it actually says if her mom thinks she's looking. So that implies that OP isn't looking (probably) but her mother thinks she is, thus the manic rage.

Sorry it's your mum, but she's a crazy bitch.

Some one needs their medication adjusted.

Don't worry, it's called menopause and it only gets worse.

What's with all these FMLs having more YDI's when the OP's don't deserve it?
