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

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.

I was groomed from a young age to not buy my mother gifts; she always told me I could never afford what she really wanted (i.e. a piece of estate jewelry, Louis Vuitton luggage) so I could just forget it. She even mocked a sub-par mother's day breakfast I made her when I was ten, bringing me to tears. The point is not that my mother and your mother are bitches. The point is that you shouldn't give gifts that thrill you more than the receiver. In any event, it's a good excuse to never buy her anything ever again.

@18, what kind of handmade stuff are you buying if it looks shitty? Or what kind of handmade stuff are you MAKING? Handmade stuff has extra care put into it because it can have more time spent on it. I'm not talking about the mass-produced "handmade" crap that gets imported from China, I mean real, unique handmade items. @OP, that sucked. But you should be glad you don't have parents like mine, who have saved everything I've ever gotten them and still have a box of my old schoolworks in their closet :[

YDI for buying expensive things for your ungrateful mother on an overrated "holiday", especially while you're in college. Secondly, why the hell would you make something for her or anyone for that matter? Odds are you're in your 20s, learn how to grow up.

I handmake stuff all the time - knitted usually, but sometimes jewelry. The stuff I make is sometimes better than store quality and definitely unique. I've also bought stuff that was handmade/custom made that I never would have been able to find otherwise. BTW, I'm 25.

I don't buy my mother anything for Mother's day. Anything I get her, she doesn't like. I just take her out for dinner.

Please continue on posting your FML's regarding your moms. I am taking mental notes because I have a 3 yr old little boy, and I want to make damn sure he never has an FML to post about me =)
