Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, I got grounded because I didn't send my aunt a Mother's Day present. Not only is she not married she doesn't have kids. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going on a date tonight. She laughed and didn't believe me. When I tried to convince her it was real, she got mad and grounded me for lying. I had to cancel the date. FML
Today, I realized just how much of a bitch I am when I grounded my son for not telling me what he got me for my birthday. FML
Today, while at the store with my mom, we ran into the girl I recently confessed to being interested in. My mom decided to shout, "IS THAT HER?! IS THAT THE GIRL YOU LIKE?!" Embarrassed, I desperately told her to be quiet. She grounded me for being "rude" to her. FML
Today, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, I was a little grumpy. I tried my best to not take it out on other people, but then I encountered that ONE person who doesn't realize that sometimes people are just in a bad mood, and they proceed to give you a hard time over nothing. That person was my mom. And then later my dad. Now I'm grounded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, would it?

A Mothers Day present on Mothers day can't be that shocking.

It's sure to leave a Gap between mother and daughter :(

@18: If OP says it's her Mothers Day gift, but doesn't say what, it'll still be a surprise. Plus OP could also say they were using a GAP bag to hold the gift and that they got the gift at a different store. Not saying anything makes OP seem a bit suspicious, even though their intentions were good.

Or OP could've actually put it in another shopping bag to hide it. If your parents are known for asking questions, don't give them things to ask questions about.

it will be because she wont have seen the actual gift

What a bitch, I agree, return everything you got for, and sneak out anyway, then when the day comes tell her what you bought her and why you returned it. Some parents are ******* useless, cant even go to the store and buy something without them prying their eyes.

We're not talking about prying eyes for a gift, OP's mother obviously just didnt trust him/her and was enough of an asshole to ground them for it.

Key words you used there, "as a kid". Her mother should know better. Whether or not they had prying eyes, adults should afford their children some privacy, and punishing them for wanting it is wrong. If my mother had grounded me in this situation I would have then handed her the bag and said "Glad it was worth it trying to make your mothers day gift a surprise, enjoy"

Exactly she doesn't deserve any gifts from anyone

All mums are crazy in someway or other

What could it possibly have been that she felt the need to ground you for it? Nuclear weapons purchased at GAP?

Sounds just like my mom. So nosy!

Why not hide the bag in the first place?
ApollosMyth 22
Where would she hide it exactly? Under her clothes?

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Joke's on you, she could've worn the clothes (what else do you buy from Gap?) under her clothes. Or wear the gift in plain sight, even. She compliments it? "I'm glad you like it, it's yours!" Mind blown, best Mother's Day ever.

If OP is male that would be a tad bit absurd
MrConcise 35
A better Mother's Day gift than the clothes? Pictures of her baby boy cross-dressing.

It's just drugs and alcohol, Mom. Did you expect it to be a gift for you that you want early? Dang!

What was going through her mind? Was she worried you bought something slutty at the Gap? That's not even possible.

Maybe she will unground you after you give it to her.

Show her the present on Mothers Day and watch her burn up in guilt and remorse youngling and then revel in your psychological revenge, mwahahaha.

What evil thing did she think you bought from the gap? A drug infused tee-shirt?
