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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

You should have told her that it is her gift for Mother's Day. There are plenty of items being sold at the store, so there is no way for her to know what you got her. If she decides to visit the store or website to see what you might have gotten her, then that is up to her to spoil the fun. It would have saved you from being grounded over such a simple action.

Why didn't you just say "it's your mothers day present, I can't tell you". Seems like that could have been easily avoided.

I absolutely despise parents who ground their kids over minor things. Grounding a kid has to serve the purpose of raising them right - not personal revenge or blackmail when the kid doesn't satisfy their parents' curiousity. Kids are people too, they're allowed a little privacy, as long as the parents don't have informed reason to believe something bad is taking place within said room of privacy.

Tell her that it is her Mother's Day present. I mean is is that hard not to figure it out. It doesn't spoil anything.

It is a difficult situation the mother was put in. I was grounded in a similar situation when I kept a secret that her friend asked of me. The way she sees it by not telling her what it is that's the same as lying. As a parent I understand where she is coming from but I agree with most here and that OP should tell mom its a surprise.

I hope you showed her what it was, and then trashed it. After all, you can't give her a present when she already knows what it is ;)

You should have said "I can't tell you because it's your Mother's Day present." I'm sure she would have understood.
