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
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

**** the sentimental gifts. I bought my mother a bottle of Hennessy XO and mailed it to her. Her and my sister got drunk on Skype and talked to me. WIN. Take. Notes.

cossackkid01, you have some major issues. I am sure there are mothers who are in competition with their daughters but DO NOT clump all women into a group just because of them. That is completely ignorant on your part. My mom is one of my best friends thank you very much! I also have a daughter and I can't imagine doing what the OP's mom did. I hope you never have kids, assuming you can even find a girl stupid enough to want to be with you! To the OP, that is horrible. You should confront your mom about it.

I think you meant Hand-made painting and expensive necklace. Just seems that's what it meant to say. Am I the only one?

Maybe you have shitty taste in art and jewelry! Just because one thing is "expensive" and the other "hand-made" doesn't mean they are not ugly crap. Just give mom CASH! That goes with everything. With you, I wouldn't even risk a gift card. . . with your lousy taste, you'd probably get her a gift card from a store that sells only overpriced shit.

Next time when you mail her on her mothers day, say : "I know what you did last mothers-day =(" I'm really sorry for what she did =[

Um...cossackkid...while I have to admit your comments were funny but I feel some points a little un true. My mother has always been supportive of me. Talks about me to coworkers(positive stuff) Most of friends have equally amazing relationships with their mothers. Maybe the women you have known had bat shit crazy mother/daughter relationships...but that doesn't mean all do. Also I don't think ur an asshole based on your comments. Your honesty is commendable...just want you to see that not all humans with a vag are as nuts as the ones you have encountered.

maybe you should have given her a hand made painting and an expensive necklace instead of the other way around. The result would have probably been different because almost all women love jewelery, whereas the audience for expensive paintings is selective.
