Today, I stayed in a hotel near the college I was applying for a scholarship. We were eating breakfast and there were some other applicants in the breakfast room. As we walked away, my mother yelled, "My daughter's gonna get this scholarship so there's no reason for you muddafuckas to show up." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was invited to a special meal for receiving a scholarship from my college. My mom refuses to take me because “your sister’s going there too and didn’t get a scholarship; it wouldn’t be fair to her.” I guess fairness doesn’t apply to me. FML
Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, whilst on a phone interview with a college I really want to go to, my mother picks up the other line and shouts into the phone "She's not going to college, she's lazy and she'll only disappoint you." The interviewer hung up before I could say anything. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my mom and several of her friends. My mom spent the entire night gushing about my Ivy League school and med student boyfriend. I attend a state university and I'm single. She threatened to cut me off if I didn't play along. FML
Today, I was at a house delivering pizza. As I walked away, I heard the mom mutter to her child, "That's why you go to college." FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You only posted this because you couldn't think of something worthwhile to say, and you were time crunched to be first. We have you figured out.

Best mom of the year award?

Yes, because #25 replied to comments already posted but then wrote about the original post.

49, 25 got thumbed down because they repeated what 5 already said. It seems like 25 said it first because they're closer to the top of the comments. But that's only because he/she thread jacked. And THAT is why 25 is getting thumbed down. Hope this helps (: I'm off to go lick a window now.

They probably left due to the fear of OP's mother. Unclassy and sounding like a psycho will clear any room in a second. I would have left my mom there.

Wow classy. But if you ignore the muddafuckas comment then it's really cool that she believes in you so strongly

*Cough cough* MY mother...

At least she has faith in you. It's awesome to have a mother support you like that.
hannaaaahr 33
It's great that she supports OP, but I don't think this is the best way to show her support, especially if she's going to tell the university board that they're stupid muthafucka's if they don't accept OP

82-She said that to the other applicants, not the board.

Mother of the year right there.

Hell yes.

This is more of an embarrassing mom story.. But we all get those and my resolution to them is to play along because most people can relate So don't awkwardly turn super red and storm Out. Start having fun with it, most people would understand or at least think you're fun

Demotivated the competition, it's a classic move, usually followed up with a sharp elimination of the now demoralised opponent, with either wit, cunning and a good lawyer, or blunt trauma to the skull... Whichever takes your fancy.

How can you not be embarrassed? That is terrible of her mother to do! I wouldn't be able to contain my embarrassment!
PenguinBitch 44
@29- you must be a /very/ fun person to hang out with.
GNR93 14
I agree 29, an embarrassing mom story would be like a mother showing up to a middle school class because her son/daughter forgot their lunch, ops mom's exceptionally embarrassing and unusual because most parents wouldn't do that.
Corrupt_waffles 13
Actually 37 the only embarrassing thing that came out of those kinds of situations was the fact that all the guys asked me if my mom was my sister and if she was single. Then they would comment on her butt to me.
BeccaHugs 17
At least your mom has confidence in you and isn't doubting you like a lot of parents would.
mb2_native 15
At least your mother has confidence in you getting that scholarship.
perdix 31
If one of dem muddafuckas shows up, Momma might have to pay more for your schoolin'. Looks like Momma was T.C.B. -- takin' care of bidness.

Naw, she might pop a cap in there asses.
perdix 31
#30, that coulda been a good reply if you didn't make such a basic grammar mistake. It's "in dey asses."
