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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer. My mother then confided in me that she suspected it was a prank to get more money from our family. FML
Today, my mother called me and told me that she went to the hospital. This wasn't a surprise 'cos she normally goes to the hospital for the smallest things. I was a smartass and asked, "What now? You finally have lung cancer from all those cigarettes?" Apparently, she does. FML
Today, my mother told me I'm going to get lung cancer. Because she smokes. FML
Today, I told my mom she made me feel unloved my whole life. She called my sister and apologized. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML
Today, I visited my ex-girlfriend's house. I saw her mother and asked, "Hi! Have you recovered from that nasty cold that you had for so long?" She said, "I don't have a cold," to which I smiled and said, "That's great to hear!" Turns out she has lung cancer instead. FML
Today, my friend (she's 14) said she had lung cancer. This made me and my other friend very worried for her, but now we know she was faking it since when she was "at the hospital" she was at a friend's house, and her mom came to the school to confirm she was faking the whole thing. FML
Today, I found out that the giant tumour on my leg isn’t cancerous or dangerous. My mom cried, and I was super relieved. Later on, I heard her on the phone in tears because now she won’t be able to get a free vacation or home renovations from the Make A Wish foundation. FML
Today, I told my mother I was doing fine with my classes when I actually wasn't because her mother is dying, and I didn't want her to have more things to stress about. She found out and she's very hurt. I feel awful about it and I know lying wasn't the right thing to do, but in the moment I didn't want to cause her any more pain. FML
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. FML

That's just plain terrible. What about all the suffering people who actually have breast cancer? It's disgusting she would say that.

Your mom is a mean. There are plenty other ways to make kids clean up. My mom doesn't let me watch tv if I don't clean.

I'm pretty sure the point that was trying to be made here is that there are plenty of other ways to punish a child that don't involve really awful tactics.

Mum just lets me let my room get messy until I go crazy and clean it. Lying about cancer is... WTF. There isn't any other words for it.

If the only reason you will agree to clean your room is for the fact that you think your mother has cancer, you are probably not someone I care to know in real life. For that alone, and for the fact that your mother believed she had to resort to such extreme measures (clearly through prior experience with you and your sister), I say YDI.

Well if your theory is correct then in that case they're probably spoiled or rotten, so confiscating something would have most likely been affective. But in my opinion, not one thing in this world justifies lying about something that can tear a family to shreds without hopes of repair in less than a month, as it did to mine.

24- nothing justifies terrifying and emotionally hurting her child like that. even if they had an unbearably messy room, is that enough reason to tell their child they had a potentially fatal illness and cause that much emotional distress to her child? anybody who hurts somebody like that to get a ******* room clean is just sick and disturbed.
