Today, I discovered my mom had sold all of our summer clothes over the winter on eBay because we're short on cash. However, I am allowed to cut off the sleeves of all my long sleeve shirts and the legs off my jeans to stay cool in the summer. Nothing's more attractive than looking trashy, right? FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom cut off the legs of all my pants, because she says I don't show enough skin for guys. I'm now forced to wear jaggedly cut shorts that barely cover my thighs until I can buy new ones. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I found out where my $300 worth of American Eagle and Hollister clothes had disappeared to. My 16 year old sister shredded them with scissors, took pictures of it for her Myspace and said that I deserved it for being a "conformist." All her "internet friends" said it was awesome. FML
Today, my mom decided to do something new and borrowed some of my clothes. She's currently wearing a very small pair of short shorts and a very tight tank top. We're going to a very prestigious golf course and she won't change. FML
Today, I noticed some of my thongs were stretched out and now hung loose on my hips. I thought it might be the dryer set too hot but no, apparently my mom has been wearing them over her fat ass, and thought I wouldn’t mind since we occasionally share our hoodies. Not the same thing mom. GROSS. FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, I found out where a few of my favorite outfits went. My mother had taken them out of my closet, wrapped them, and given them to my cousin as a gift. FML
Today, my dad suggested that as an alternative to buying me new school clothes that actually fit, I should just join the swim team, lose some weight, and wear my stuff from last year. FML
Today, I found why exactly my clothes always seemed more stretched out after about a week of owning them. My mom steals and wears them when she goes clubbing. My mom is 46, twice my size, and gets out more than me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hmm. I'm sure you can snag some inexpensive clothing at thrift stores. Problem solved.

Sell all of the furniture and tell her to feel free to pile up the carpet in the corner for a bed.

Sell your mom's clothes on eBay. ALL of them.

How did she even make enough money for that to be worth it? I've sold clothes to second-hand shops before; in my experience you make only like, 5-10% of the original value of the clothes! Has she cut off your cable TV or stopped buying soda and fast food? Those would probably save more money. Hope you're old enough to get a job to pay for your own stuff, but FYL regardless.

When you need money, even the little bit that selling clothes will get you, is important. And whose to say that they had cable, or soda and fast food to begin with?

I'm just hoping that they don't... otherwise this seems like a pretty foolish thing to give up.

#123 that's just pointless is she sells the clothes....I don't know in what part of the country that people don't wear clothe that's the main thing that you need even 2$ shirts and 4$ shorts is good enough but if you already have them then why sell them and Tisiphone was just saying that she could have cut back on anything else but why sell the he clothes if that's what she's going to need everyday she already had it it's not like it's a bill to have clothes that you already own lol

I take it you've never been that broke before? You would do the same thing, if it was a choice between sell your clothes or have food. Or even sell your clothes and pay your rent. You really only need a few shirts and a few pairs of pants. Besides that, we don't know whether the clothes were cheap or not. For all we know, they could have had a lot of money, and expensive clothing, and then lost it all somehow.

Remind your mother that if you cut up your winter clothes, she will have to buy new ones, and summer clothes are cheaper than winter clothes.

There is nothing trashy about cutting the length off of clothes. I've made shorts out of pants.
