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?

Well, I guess you'll have ALL weekend to spend with Mom on Mothers' Day Weekend. I'm not sure a gift from The Gap is going to get you out of jail. Most moms don't go for the Suburban Hipster Doofus look.

Over here Gap is for middle age or slightly older men or women (but mostly women) and children....teens and young adults, hipster or not, don't typically go near it. Is it that different in the US?

Assuming its anything like here in Canada, then yup. The Gap here is a very preppy and conservative (and ridiculously overpriced) store for young adults. Lots of polo shirts and khakis. I don't know anyone who would actually buy something there. And then there's Gap Kids, which is basically the same, but for toddlers.

#45, I dunno, I had a problem with the gap about 20 years ago and have never set foot in one since. From what I see in the window, I don't see any reason to break my streak.

Sweet that your shopping for her, should of told her it was a surprise but at least she'll know soon.

"Do you really want to be asking that a week before Mothers' Day?" is the correct answer.

Eh, sounds like she's crazy enough to do it anyway.

Tell her you bought it for her so she feels bad for grounding you.

Don't give her the gift. Make sure she goes PRESENTLESS for this indecency.

That's misusing authority. Time to return that gift

I'd return it. Her loss for not trusting her own kid.

Not saying op's mom didn't go a bit overboard, but parents can't seem to win either. If they don't trust their kid or check up on them they are too controlling, and if they do the opposite and the kid makes a mistake they are bad parents. It's not a bad thing to ask questions of your kids. It usually means that a parent cares. A good answer from op would be along the lines as a surprise or gift like many others have already said. Communication is a good thing.

actually there is nothing wrong with kids making mistakes! its even worse if they never experience failure

Unfortunately, I can see that sort of thing happening.

Sounds like you two decided to butt heads just for fun? Any reason you couldn't have said "It's something for you Mom". Other than the fact that you decided to make an issue about it?

I'm really confused as to how in the hell this sounds like op trying to start something with her mother, to you?
