Today, during my daughter's 8th birthday at a skating rink, a family showed up that didn't RSVP. The mother brought all 3 of her kids and left them at the party alone. She didn't feed them lunch and they followed me around the whole time asking for money. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was hosting my daughter's thirteenth birthday party. One parent decided to stay at my house, the only parent to do so. The entire night she critiqued every decision I made, from the films to the cake. When it was time to open presents, her kid was the only one without one. FML
Today, we celebrated our daughter's sixth birthday. Out of the 30 invited, 7 showed up. The last one to cancel this morning told us she was ill. My daughter was in tears as this meant the last remaining playmate couldn't come. My wife later saw her tagged on Facebook at another party. FML
Today, a friend had invited me to Christmas dinner since I have no family close by. When I got there, she told me that her and her husband had forgotten they had another dinner to go to, and asked if I would watch their kids for them. They each grabbed a handful of cookies I had baked and rushed out the door. FML
Today, after it appeared my daughter was throwing away any vegetables in her school lunch, I packed her all vegetables so she would have to eat at least one. Nope! She threw them out and complained to school that "mommy doesn't feed" her. I got a call from the school. FML
Today, my kids and I went to have dinner with a coworker. After everyone ate, the kids went to play while I helped clear the dishes. To my horror, instead of individually wrapping the kids leftovers, she scraped all the uneaten food back into the main pots. I wanted to puke on the spot. FML
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, my siblings canceled my birthday LUNCH that THEY planned FOR ME while MID-LUNCH at a different place WITHOUT ME. They decided that my birthday should just be done two weeks later ON MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY. I feel discarded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Call the cops informing them you found three lost children. Their mother would have a lot of explaining to do to get them back.

The cake is a lie

And that's how the French Revolution started.

A store I sometimes go into has a sign that says: unattended children will be given lots of sugar and a puppy. I think that applies well here.

No, no. Unattended children will be given Bang energy drinks and allowed to socialize small puppies for an hour. Then the PARENTS get to deal with whether or not to bring the puppy home...

why traumatize the kids like that to punish and embarrass the mom. The cops are going to ask and she is going to say she forgot to rsvp but if one of the kids knows your kid then you are just going to look immature and petty

pretty sure the parent probably asked the daughter if she knew them, since this is an FML she definitely didnt recognize em

heck yeah! smh for mooching on others.

As a person, this disturbs me to no end ... And as a mother, it just plain infuriates me! What kind of person just abandons their children somewhere?? I don’t get humans anymore .. I really don’t!
Gamessence 19
she probably thought the parent was dumb enuf to give em food. ****** moochers.

I sure hope you stood up for yourself and reamed her out away from her kids. Ask for compensation, and don't back down. Probably too late to do it now though. :\

Worthless mother she is if you don’t have money stay home or ask for help

Are you describing an episode of "Shameless"?

I'm going to guess that they weren't invited to the party, that the shitty excuse for a mother thought she could cadge some free babysitting. Did your daughter seem to know them? And yeah, I hope you yelled at the mother for just abandoning her kids like that.

They (or at least one of the kids) was invited, but they didn't RSVP.
