Today, while my mom was out, my family agreed upon the assumption that she has a "shopping problem." I argued against it for quite a while, until she pulled up minutes later with a what seemed like a life-time supply of canned condensed milk. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom yelled at me in the store so loudly and for so long, a crowd began to form. The reason? I didn’t know how much milk we had left at home. I don’t drink milk. FML
Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, I saw my mom changing the expiry date on milk. She genuinely thought this would make the milk sour later. FML
Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML
Today, my step-brother went grocery shopping alone for the first time. He came home with Ramen and 14 bottles of chocolate milk, which will expire by the 20th. My step-dad is insisting we eat it so it doesn't go to waste. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my mum accused me of doing heroin because some teaspoons had gone missing. FML
Today, I discovered why the milk in my house has a funny, sweet taste. My family has been pouring the leftover milk from their cereal back into the carton. FML
Today, my mom complained that I never do anything nice for her, so while out shopping I bought her favorite chocolate bar. When I got home, she screamed at me because she’s on a diet. FML
Today, my mom went to the store. She said she was feeling generous, and had gotten everyone a little treat. My brothers each got candy and a movie. I got acne medication. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I wonder what else she bought in the past to get labelled with a "shopping problem".

Well, at least while you're in the poor house, you will have condensed milk.

Especially condensed milk. it's disgustingly yummy. As a kid, i used to eat condensed milk and simultaneously throw up everywhere because it was so sweet and my body has always hated white milk (not lactose intolerant though) but condensed milk is yummy!!!!

The FML is that OP realized he's been in denial about Mom's shopping problem too. He was also likely enabling it by taking up her defense. This is a comical example, but true shopping addictions can get pretty serious. Just like drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, gambling etc., it can take years and lots of work, on both the addict's and her loved ones' parts, to fully recover. Enablers are addicts in their own right. Shopping addictions and eating disorders are especially difficult in another sense, because you can't ever stop eating or spending money the way you can totally avoid drugs or alcohol.
