Today, my mom offered me a reward if I went out and mowed our lawn. After 45 mins of pushing a lawnmower in 95-degree heat and getting stung by a bee, I go inside and ask my mom for my reward. She comes up to me, gives me a 'loving hug' and says, "Thank you." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I mowed our lawn without being asked. My sister wouldn't stop yelling at me for not checking with her, because she wanted the grass to get long enough to "play jungle" in. My mom sided with her. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her a lot. Her reply? "Thanks." FML
Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML
Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I babysat for my neighbor's brat kid. The mom gave me $15 for 5 hours. I complained to my mom when I got home because last time I got $15/hour. Turns out my mom had told my neighbor that she thought they'd paid me too much last time. Thanks mom. Thanks. FML
Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML
Today, I saw my neighbor's son mowing their lawn when suddenly he started to do this crazy dance. Chuckling at his antics, I waved and walked back into my house. His mom called me from a hospital later to ask if I could put the mower away; he had been attacked by bees. FML
Today, my mom asked my siblings and me for help cleaning the kitchen. After working for a half hour while all my siblings sat on the couch, I pointed out that I was the only one working. My mom thanked my siblings for not having attitudes like mine and sent me to my room. FML
Today, my mom made me shovel our long driveway, as it had just snowed a couple of inches. It took me two and half hours to finish. She came out and said, "Wow, is this really the best you can do?" FML
Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, if that's not good enough for you, I'd sure like a loving hug... ...from your mom.

Lol, maybe it was a reward to mow in that heat, especially if it's before a weekend event? I don't mow if it's over 85 out, give or take with humidity. Mow in the morning before 10am!

Probably not but if you're promised something, you expect it lol

I would press "you deserve it" but you dont deserve that hug. Big hugs to your momma from me.

You should be helping her out with the household chores.

I never had an allowance, chores were just expected. But I was promised 20$ for every time I mowed the front and back lawn. Which would have cost 60-80 for anymore else to do it. I never saw a penny.

Move your butt and help your mum out! Why should she have to ask for your help, when you should give it freely anyway! 🙄

Your reward is probably free bed and board and a mother who loves you.

If you do it for a reward but don't confirm what you're going to get, you really can't complain.
