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
Collection
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

I say, fish the stuff out of the trash, and keep them. I could be evil and say that you should give them again for Christmas or whatever holiday is up next. Or you could keep them for yourself. If you're a gal, wear the necklace yourself, and if she comments on it, be blunt and say, "Yeah, it's what I sent you for mother's day, but you threw it away. I'm keeping it." Next time, just give that ungrateful cow a book on manners. Or a good hard kick in the ass.

Luckily, you get to keep the necklace for yourself! And now you know your mom is equally as happy with cheap shit. Get her a candy necklace next year. Win-win! :D

Hey, now you never have to buy her anything every again!! And when she gets mad all you have to do is remind her of this incident. I'd throw a party or something.

Next time you should mail her a trash bag with a note that says "I thought you'd find this more convenient. Happy Mother's Day

This is fake. Why would you mail home a gift for mother's day on the weekend of 10th if you were going to fly home to see you family on 12th anyways. It makes no sense. Why wouldnt you just bring the gifts with you when you went and flew home. I'm sick of attempted lies on FML. Either that or you're a complete idiot and paid to send a package home even tho you were going to be there the next day anyways.

#23 If that's the case, then there's absolutely no reason to keep it. If it looks like shit and the OP didn't even take the time to make it, I can see why it ended up where it did. Perhaps some hand-made maccaroni artwork would be more appropriate.
