Today, after staying in bed all day for a week from sickness, I get up to tell my mom I have terrible back pain and feel extremely dizzy. After curling up on the chair next to her, not being able to keep my head up for too long, she simply stares at me and says, "Can I finish my dinner now?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML
Today, I'm on bed rest after a major surgery. I can walk to the bathroom but can barely raise my hands. At the hospital, my mom gave this dramatic speech of being there whenever I needed her. When I asked her to come make me breakfast, she didn’t show up til noon then complained I was in a bad mood. FML
Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I woke up and headed downstairs ready to do the dishes, when my mom hissed at me to, “go do the dishes!” As I was washing them, my mom stood over me the whole time. She eventually said, “You know, it’s pretty fucking sad that I still have to tell you to do these things.” FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Today, I told my mom that I'd vomited blood. She simply said, “Good” and went back to watching TV. FML
Today, I wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. FML
Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML
Today, I'm incredibly sick. I can't breathe, can't walk ten steps without falling, and no one believes me. My mom just sat next to me and said, "Honey, isn't this all a bit much? Quit being dramatic, because I can't believe this." When I asked why I would fake this, my sister yelled, "Guess you can't go shopping!" I'd want to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

:( Normally I'm a bitch in the comments, but I can't be right now. That sounds like something my mom would do. I'm sorry and I hope you feel better!

Sorry you feel puny. Maybe you can find some over the counter medication to help your symptoms. Give mom a break, she's had to deal with you all week too. After you feel better, do something nice for her.

Disturbed FTW. @OP I can't really say whether YDI or not. YDI because you got up when you coulda called her in, then been all "You can go back to your dinner now." FYL because I know what it's like to be constantly sick like that. Fortunately, I'm fine now.

Sooo how's this an FML? Maybe she's done everything she can to help you and you keep pestering! hahahaha kidding. Sorry OP sucks to be you, I got the flu once and it lasted 2 weeks and out of the 2 weeks I can only remember 3 days 0_0

Moms know when you're seriously sick and when you're in a condition where you're in pain but will survive. It sucks for you that you fall into the latter category, but don't go moaning for attention. Moms stop putting up with that after their kids turn 12.

not true. the number of kids that come thru with a burst appendix is ridiculous.

I wasn't being totally serious.

Moms also appreciate actually finishing a meal now and then. Whining and wanting to cuddle while they're eating doesn't get the best responses. Hmm, never thought I'd sympathize with my mother in law.

Can she OP? Try some Tylenol, it will help with the pain.

what do you want her to do? shrink herself down using a shrink ray and enter your body in a tiny germ fighting ship and go around your body fighting the infection? I don't think so!

Sorry, OP, but you are just being a whiny little self-centered bitch. So just suck it up already - your mommy won't be always around to hold your hand, so its never too early to grow the hell up.
