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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I opened my Father's Day present from my mother-in-law. It was a glamor shot of her. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, my mother opened her birthday gift in front of my entire family. Two days ago, I ordered an essential oil diffuser and flesh light from Amazon. Guess which one she got? FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, my mom told me she can't wait for me to turn eighteen so she can turn my room into a place for her to display all her antique glass dolls. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me lingerie from Victoria's Secret. He then added that his mother picked it out. FML
Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't be such a spoiled brat.

Break it open and see if there's money inside. No, but you should keep it, it's a gift from your mom and it's special to her. Keep it in a box in your closet, but when she comes over, put it up on your dresser.

Indeed, it's completely normal to get for your 21st birthday a doll. How dares OP to complain.

How is that being spoiled you bitch?! How about if you get a barbie doll for your b-day and see how you like it.

Obviously meant something to her mother so OP is being spoiled by not appreciating what she has and coming here to bitch about it. This is just my opinion.

Wtf spoiled? Hannah mantna is funny agreed but a doll? Idk about her parents well My step mother gave my brother rugrats the movie for his 18 bday. Also my mother gave me a crystal for my car for my 22nd. Gifts are supposed to be special to the bday boy or girl not the giver. How much thought is a doll and did her mother really think she'll like it? I think a shot glass would be soooo much better

I was expecting them to mention ***** as well. Even after I read the FML, I assumed OP meant blow up doll. There's clearly something wrong with me. -_-

#2 What, you wo uld have been happy with that? A doll as a 21st present? Doesn't need to be expensive, but it could at least be age appropriate.

I thought it was a cute idea :(

Me too. She accessorized it personally its not like she just picked a random one in a box so she wanted it to be something special.

Maybe there's liquor inside of it. After all, it is your 21st birthday.

Was it a puking Ke$ha doll to symbolize that you are now legally able to get wasted?
