Today, I tried to make my mom feel better about me leaving for camp for 2 weeks by saying I wish she would come too. She took me seriously and called the camp and is now a camp counselor there. The only problem is I lied about going to the camp, and I'm really going to my boyfriend's lake house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going out to hang out with some friends. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Don't lie to me." FML
Today, I realized that I hate lying to my mom about having a boyfriend. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going on a date tonight. She laughed and didn't believe me. When I tried to convince her it was real, she got mad and grounded me for lying. I had to cancel the date. FML
Today, I didn't want to hang out with my girlfriend so I could binge watch Pawn Stars instead. When she asked me why not, I lied not very convincingly and said my mom was sick and needed my help. She now thinks I'm cheating on her. FML
Today, I found out my mom pretended to be me and had AIM conversations with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I came home after spending the past two months at summer camp, just for my parents to excitedly announce that I'm going to be spending the next two weeks in Florida with my grandma. We have to leave in literally a couple hours. FML
Today, I was going to hang out with the girl I like, because she was leaving for the rest of the Summer. She had to cancel to go shopping with her grandma "all day." At 1 o'clock, she came online and told me how much fun she had with this guy I really don't like. She forgot that she lied to me. FML
Today, I told my mother I was doing fine with my classes when I actually wasn't because her mother is dying, and I didn't want her to have more things to stress about. She found out and she's very hurt. I feel awful about it and I know lying wasn't the right thing to do, but in the moment I didn't want to cause her any more pain. FML
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How old are you?

i was wondering that. young enough to go to a camp but old enough to go to a boyfriend's lake house? probably band camp.

I am wondering that too. With a username of "grounded4life," I'm guessing she's still under a lot of parental control... which means... spending two weeks at your boyfriend's lake house without your mom knowing seems a bit fishy.

no not really. im only 16 and i spent two weeks at my girlfriends house 1500 miles away, my never even spoke to her parents or asked any questions really. but my mom did call her mom twice for like 30 seconds.

#50 you have pretty shitty parents. I'd NEVER, EVER send my 16 year old kid to their bf/gf's house FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES AWAY when I don't even know the parents.....

I had a similar situation, in that they never knew either of my parents, but they knew me (I made the journey there first), and I happened to be really close to her mom. She had no problem with the arrangement.

BULL. Wouldn't your mom be paying for the camp? Somehow I think parents are very involved in kids signing up for camp.

The bitch is probably signed up for some sort of camp, but decided to be trampy and head over to her boyfriend's lake house instead.

wouldnt that have backfired even if her mom didnt find out, becuz im pretty sure the camp would have called her parents if she didnt show up...

She probably took the money from her mom with her.

YDI for lying but ur moms kinda crazy so that suckss

If you actually signed up and your mom paid for the camp, then YDI A LOT. Don't waste people's money. If you never actually signed up, YDI for lying... even though I'm guessing you probably had reason to think she wouldn't allow you to go if you had asked. Don't get me wrong, your life sucks, but... it's nothing that you don't actually deserve for straight up lying.
