Today, my mum got the idea of switching to a different dishwashing detergent. The new one is so strong that it coats all the dishes in a nauseating perfume-like smell. It's so pungent that it gets absorbed into everything we eat or drink. She's determined to use up the entire bottle. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, I bought some expensive fabric softener since I'm not too keen on my detergent's smell. Only after washing two weeks worth of laundry did I discover that mixed together they realistically mimic the smell of fresh puke. FML
Today, my mom continued her search for a special, super-healthy laundry detergent that she knows makes me break out in hives. FML
Today, I discovered that the "dish soap" my sister uses to clean our dishes when it's her turn, is actually a semi-toxic floor cleaner. FML
Today, my dishes smelled so perfume-y after going through the dishwasher and a clean glass of water tasted soapy. I checked the pods my husband bought and loaded into the dishwasher to make sure we never got that brand again. They were laundry detergent pods. I was essentially a millennial eating a Tide Pod. FML
Today, my mom proudly told me that she found the perfect thing to combat my B.O. Extra strength degreaser. FML
Today, something smelled absolutely disgusting in the bathroom. Like cow shit and stinky beetles. I started sniffing around, because whatever it was, I had to find it and clean it up. That, however, proved difficult, because it turned out that smell was coming from the new soap my mom had bought. FML
Today, my mom informed me that she doesn't wash my clothes anymore. Instead, she sprays them with Febreze to "save money". FML
Today, I realized that I get turned on by my girlfriend's perfume. My mother started using the same one. FML
Today, my overly-clean mum decided to drop by and surprise me by cleaning my house while I was out jogging. She used half a bottle of bleach, and now it hurts to blink, let alone breathe. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What's that you say, Mother? The dish detergent vanished mysteriously? No, no, I have no idea how the empty bottle got into the trash, or where the soap went. I guess we'll just have to try a different kind now...

Maybe she's using too much of the detergent. Tell her to only use half or quarter of what she's been using

It'd sure be a shame if that detergent spilled into the sink somehow, and wasn't noticed until it was too late. Especially if the hot water was running and the drain was unplugged.

Is it that soap that ppl go door to door selling? That ***** terrible! Take the cap off and throw it over the neighbor with the annoying dogs (i assume theres one in every neighborhood) fence the dog will be dragging ass for a week and the soap disappears ta da!

Maybe you ought to fit the detergent with some "concrete shoes" and send it to "sleep with the fishes," if ya know what I mean ;) With your luck, a few days after that, you'll eat fish that taste like the detergent . . . fuggeddaboutit!

Buy a cheap bottle (99 cents) of dishwashing detergent from the store. Pour the contents of her latest bottle down the sink and rinse the bottle out and replace with cheap bottle contents. Problem solved!

But then what if she fails to notice the change and decides that the awful soap really isn't that awful? What if that decision then leads her to buy more of the bad soap? Should the OP then fess up to the switch? Or should they begin a lifestyle of constantly replacing the dish soap her mother buys with a 99 cent equivalent all the time?

Well if she's determined to use the whole bottle, why not use it for something else, like her shampoo maybe? Show her how it feels
