Today, I found the Christmas 'newsletter' my mom sends out every year to our extended family and friends that details our activities and achievements of the past year. I wasn't mentioned once. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized how little my husband, son and I mean to my in-laws. We were somehow left off the distribution list for my sister-in-law's birthday party. I even texted her to wish her well. It wouldn't be so bad if this wasn't the fifth consecutive family event we were left out of. FML
Today, I found out my ex got invited to our Christmas Party. I also found out that she got much more presents and money from my family than I did. FML
Today, I sent a christmas card to my husband's uncle and aunt. I'd forgotten that the uncle died last year. FML
Today, I was in a group chat with my mother and siblings. Midway through, my mom specifically tells my siblings how proud she is of them, and how they’ve always been by their side and loves them. I wasn’t even included. FML
Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I worked 4 hours for a huge mail call to get all the troops their Christmas mail. And just like every other mail call I did not receive one package or letter. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, it's been over a month since my mom has answered my calls or texts. Why? Because I didn't write an elaborate post on her Facebook for her birthday like my sister did. I only called and messaged with her all day. FML
Today, I'm still trying not to cry. Yesterday was by birthday. I got an email from my dad with three words, "Happy Birthday (nickname)". I got a Facebook post from my mother. No card. No phone call. No gift. I have become nothing more than a Facebook friend to my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I really hate those things. Some if my cousins do that, too, and it just comes off to me as bragging. Chances are if you don't talk to them in person or via phone or email that nobody's going to care about Johny being on the honor roll for the fourth time.

qq. Maybe if you actually had done some activities and achievements (achievements in online gaming don't count), you would be in the newsletter.

ha lol at #11. don't worry OP, those letters are obnoxious. I don't even get through reading the first few sentences of letters like that before I get bored and toss 'em in the trash. a simple merry Christmas or happy holidays works just fine.

Who are these people sending braggy newsletters? Out of all the Christmas newsletters I receive each year, I've yet to come across one that I would label "arrogant" or "pompous" or " braggy". If anything, they can be a bit boring, but not offensive in any way.

Well, now you have a big achievement to put in next year's newsletter: You got an FML published! It's a lot harder than it looks! Of course, your blurb in the newsletter won't be positive. "notworthy whined to the rest of the world about how she was omitted from last year's letter. You happy now, bee-yotch?!"

"Notworthy" is only one letter away from "noteworthy". In fact it's dangerously close. Coincidence? I think not.
