Today, I planned a lunch out with my mom for Mother's Day. She seemed excited about it and "couldn't wait!" She never showed up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Brilliant
Today, my mom and I went out to a fancy and expensive restaurant per her request; she told me it was her treat. After we ate our meals and the large check came, she excused herself to the bathroom. She didn't come back. I was dine-and-dashed by my own mother. FML
Never enough, never
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, 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, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML
Today, I had a big party planned. All but one of the guests cancelled. See you at 7, mom. FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mother called me to tell me she didn't appreciate our "public amorous behaviour" at the local food court. I didn't go out all day. FML

Plot Twist: She was SO excited that she thought you said dinner. Now she's writing an FML about how her daughter invited her out for dinner and never showed up.

Maybe she got confused with the day or time? Talk to her about it and maybe celebrate it on a different day...? I'm sorry OP. :/

I feel like OP's mother would have let her know something had come up and not just stand OP up like that.

FYL for having a mother that doesn't appreciate your efforts.

Or just was occupied with her work, or sth important came up. Don't be so judgemental ;)

I wasn't being judgemental. Sorry if it came across like that. :/

maybe she has prefered to go with one of your brothers or sisters, without telling you because she loves you less than the others

I feel bad for you! Hope she'll make it up to you.

She must've been so stressed or confused. I wouldn't think yours, or anyone else's mother would turn down a chance to see their child.
