Today, at an important statewide band performance, my mom stayed in her seat, silent, while everyone else gave a standing ovation. FML
jesterinperil tells us more.
OP here. First off, yes this was my performance. We'd been preparing some of the hardest pieces on the selection list for three months and had to perform them in front of the toughest judges in the state. We received a standing ovation and the top score possible, but it really hit hard when I saw my mom sitting there idly. We were all enjoying our results within the band so I tried not to let her negativity bring me down that much, but she could have at least said good job without being asked how we did.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There would be some irony there if that was the case #33 since being the only one not clapping draws attention to her.

If it's your performance than this is an even bigger FML

sorry OP...Some people don't know how to express themselves, apparently your Mom included. Maybe next time invite other friends/ family that want to share in your successes instead.

I know how it feels when everyone in the world can encourage and give you loads of support, but it can never compare to when the people you care about most, who has had the most impact to your life... when they don't care it's like you aren't good enough and it just sucks because you want to impress them the most!

At least she came to watch

Maybe she was so shocked and in awe of how good it was and couldn't react
