Today, I had a look at the pictures my mom took during my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Every single one is of my sister. Her lighting the candles, her watching me open presents, and her eating cake. The only pictures of me are in the background. 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 took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Today, I came back from college and visited my parents house. There was a new family portrait hung over the mantel of my parents and 2 sisters. My mom had always wanted one but always postponed it. It was dated the day after I left for college. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she had some good pictures of me for my resume. She gave me her phone to look through her gallery. I found a beautiful album of photos of me and my ex. FML
Today, I was perusing my mom's Facebook when I noticed that she has an album of pictures for each member of the family. All except me. Even the dog has his own album. FML
Today, I saw my mom's Facebook profile picture for the first time. It had all of my family members in it. I was cropped out. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only people who wished me a happy birthday were the ones who saw the "birthday boy" poster my sister plastered around school, which included a photo of me as a kid dressed up as a girl. FML
Today, my dad has discovered selfies and my mom has discovered taking pictures of food. Now I'm at a restaurant, suffering through it all and not being able to eat anything until my mom has taken pictures of it. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry!!! At least you don't have to worry about bad shots of you going on Facebook!

I think that was probably the least of her worries!

You must be the ugly one. Hopefully you have a nice ass to make up for it, if not FYL

Hopefully she doesn't have the same shallow mentality as you.

I'm trying to decide if this is a horrible joke or you are just that kinda guy. I hope for your sake it's the first.

Doesn't have to always be about appearance, 17.

You, my friend, are an asshole.

17- I want to kick you in the face right now.

#17 speaks the truth and gets hammered down for it. I know the feeling :( Everyone just has to take the OP's side, but when someone explains the obvious reason something happens, out come the thumbs.

Can't tell if 17 is stupid or sarcastic

A parent should not care more about one daughter and less about another based on their appearance. A parent should not care more about one daughter and less about another based on ANYTHING, quite honestly. Parental love should be divided equitably among all of their offspring, but so often it isn't. There is no better start in life for a human being than a solid, nurturing nuclear family and too many times that doesn't happen. We have asshole's like the OP's mom, who clearly prefers the sister to the OP. This is the first wedge that splinters families and it's so avoidable. I would love to have a happy extended family but NOOOO, everyone hates everyone else and it began with a mother who favored one child and shit all over on another. Four generations later we're a mess and only two of us are smart enough to see what happened and try to change things. Everyone else is nasty, rude and hateful to each other because that's what we all grew up with so that's our 'normal.' They can't see that we were set on this path by one stupid woman and that changing it is in our hands. Life is too short for hate, especially among flesh and blood.

uh, 17, I know this is irrelevant, but why do you have your ex as your picture?

If you're not looking for pity then why make the comment at all? Who cares. This is a website full of people you will never meet. Stop being butt hurt and move on.

Hey 41 good job steeling 77s reply!

Why does everyone have to make a big deal out of a comment? Plus, your all saying she's doing it for attention and that's what all you are giving her, and lots of it.

The problem here, which is very simple, is that no one likes a one-upper. It almost always comes off as belittling and minimizing the pain of the other person. We all know that somebody somewhere has it worse, and that said, the comment you made seems attention-seeking. That's why people are responding so negatively.
murdersquirrel 15
It happens to everyone. We all can look back on things we've said and realize there was probably a better way to communicate. :)
