Today, I flew home from college to see my parents. Later I found the expensive painting and hand-made necklace I mailed to my mom for mother's day while taking out the trash. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came back from college and visited my parents house. There was a new family portrait hung over the mantel of my parents and 2 sisters. My mom had always wanted one but always postponed it. It was dated the day after I left for college. FML
Today, after I got home from school I went to my room to find the maid had cleaned it, also to find a bag labeled "trash" it was all the sketches and paintings I had done in art class, which is my major plan for college. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Today, after I took my mom her favourite wine, a card, and an expensive orchid for her conservatory, and also spent all Saturday afternoon with her and took her out for lunch, what did she post on Facebook? Her disappointment that I didn’t spend Mother’s Day with her on Sunday because I was working. FML
Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. 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, I found a necklace that my parents had made for me. While looking at it, I realized my parents had spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had cleaned my room, and she'd done a very good job, too. So good in fact, that she even managed to remove all of the furniture, replacing it with a note that said, "It's time to go, sweetie XO". FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, my mom and I were talking about a wedding decoration that we are going to use at my wedding. I insisted that I gave the decorations to her and I didn’t bother looking in my house. She came over for the night and cleaned while I was at work. She found the decorations that I'd insisted that I'd given to her. FML

Wow, your mother sounds like a real bitch. That's just terrible.

You have a good reason to not buy her anything ever again now.

lol #27 Also, it crossed my mind that she might not have known the necklace was hand-made and thrown it out because it looked hideous or like something she'd never actually wear. It sounds mean, but it's the number one reason that gifts meant to be worn stay stored away for eternity, if not junked.

You should take them and return them to the stores where you got, and sometime in the future mention that you did this to your mom sometime in the future.

#35, so you think the future would be best for this in the future? Future. #34, I stand by what i said. Her Mom's angry that her daughter is hotter than she is: She retaliated by throwing away gifts where her daughter would see them in order to undermine her daughter: Again, as long as you know that anything with a vag is shit-nuts crazy, it all makes total sense.

cossackkid01, it's a shame that your fantastic sense of humor (your comment to #35) is overshadowed by your obvious misogyny. The OP does not even state his/her sex. You have a desire to see this picture as some sort of sick mother/daughter competition, but the facts simply do not bear that out. I find your "analysis" offensive and childish.

That is sad! I treasure everything my children make for me and give me.

cossackkid01-Do you really go through life saying everything with a ****** is ******* insane?? Thats kind of harsh. Im just wondering, do you date or get any at all with that kind of attitude? Then again some girls do fall for complete and total assholes.

#39- I calls em like I sees em. Every mom I've ever known with a daughter hates the thought of her daughter 'outdoing' her. Fathers are different: the want to live vicariously through their sons, so they push their boys to achieve more than they ever did. Moms want to handicap their daughters. It's not misogyny, it's the realization that people are nuts; and it doesn't happen by accident, it happens cause our parents FOLs

And what makes you think you know how everyones mothers act? And even if you're talking about the people you know, that freakin' sexist. And ignorrant. Just because you have/know a bitch mother doesn't automaticaly make ALL mothers bitches.

And #41, I do quite well for myself, thank you. I may well be (ok, I AM) a raging asshole, but that doesn't make what I say less true.

well thats good i guess. yeah, parents do FOLs. I agree with what you say about fathers but mothers, not all of them try to outdo their daughters. Well, at least from what I can tell. I wouldn't know from experience.
