Today, holding my newborn baby and yearning for some affection from my mother, I asked my mom what the best day of her life was, hoping she would say the day I was born. Her answer? "The day you moved out." She was serious. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my mom what her biggest craving was when she was pregnant with me. Her answer: an abortion. FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, I felt inspired to create a photo album of myself through the years. As I was organizing the photos of my childhood, I noticed how many my mom was holding me and hugging me in. When she came home from work I jokingly asked, "When did you start hating me?" She replied, "When you were 4." FML
Today, I approached my mother for comfort, because I've been feeling depressed and unloved by anyone lately. She replied, “Honestly, I stopped loving you back when you were a toddler.” FML
Today, I called my mom to let her know I was coming home for my upcoming birthday, as I haven’t seen my parents in months. She then stated she hated my birthday because it reminded her she was getting older, and they may have preexisting plans that evening anyways. Really feeling the family love… FML
Today, I talked to my birth mother for the first time in over 26 years. Five minutes into our conversation, I remembered why I stayed away. FML
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, I’m packing up to leave my home and move back to my mother's with my newborn a week postpartum, all because when I was at the hospital, I overheard my husband say to his buddy on the phone that this “father stuff” is way more than he bargained for and that he’s tired of pretending to find me attractive. FML
Today, after my mother, who was a loving and gentle soul, died, I’ve moved in permanently with my stepmom, whom I’d never met. Her very first words to me were, “Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am your mother now. If you make even ONE mistake, I will literally rip your fucking throat out.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The day you were born? Don't be stupid. That would have been most definitely the most PAINFUL day of her life — unless you had siblings, which were born with super-massive heads — in which case, she might've been somewhat relieved. I surely would be. Then again, I'm a man, and have no plans to ever have kids. Why am I still typing? No one knows, yet here we are. You're still reading. You could've stopped a while back. Uh — err, yeah, bye.

"The day you moved out..." perhaps this isn't because you'd left but because mother was relieved that she'd raised a responsible adult capable of looking after themselves well enough start out on their own...

Well, what did you expect. You'd spent the last x number of years eating her food, keeping her from doing certain things she wanted, costing her extra money, though higher bills, money for clothes, school supplies, etc. and generally being a pain in the ass for some of those years, since most kids go through a phase. Don't take it personally, but yeah, your mom probably likes having you out of the house and being able to do the things she wasn't able to do when you were younger. It doesn't mean she doesn't love you, it just means she likes having a life independent of you.

Oh, hell, I really hate using this argument, but, seriously... (grand)mom knew (or should have known) that all those downsides are part of being a parent. And yet she still chose to have children. While it's true that she could have had a change of heart after all those years, F her L for not recognizing the best moments of her parentage, ESPECIALLY with her granddaughter right there in front of her to remind her. OP, Good for you that you don't have your mother's cynicism yet. I hope you always recognize the joys of parenting and never grow to think of your children as burdens.

oh come on people! OPs mom probably meant it was the best day of her life because she was proud that her daughter was growing up and going out in the world on her on. op, you deserve it for even thinking that this is an FML. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for oversensitive people...

She wasn't oversensitive. She understood correct, and you might be the only person having different point of view, which really is good for you, at least most of the time. However, some kids are great, real blessing for their parents. Others are real pain on the ass. Some are in between. Similae goes for parents. In this particular case, I'd puty money on: OP well deserved that for putting her mother through God knows what, during her youth age, and is foolish for thinking that parents have genetic obligation to forgive and forget mistakes of their kids. However, her mother should not be so open on such a day. On the other hand, ot might be that OP well deserved that, too.

Why do you think she thought that? The mother gained a lot of freedom and move privacy when her child moved out. I can understand her excitement and there's nothing wrong about being happy about it.
