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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

totally a ydi. if you're young enough for camp you're 18 or under, had her sign papers and give cash(since otherwise you couldn't cash a check an shed have realized it didn't cash) thinking you were going to a camp. then she's tricked into thinking you've gotten nervous bout going without 'mommy' and volunteers.

Heh, I'm calling ******* bullshit on this one. Becoming a camp counsellor isn't something that can be done at the drop of a hat - unless the place is incredibly skeevy and/or unlicensed, there are background checks, reference requirements, and interviews involved for anyone who works with children. (Which you very obviously are). And even if your mother is a goddamned certified grade school teacher, no camp is going to hire a 40 year old woman to be a counsellor when they can talk a teenaged kid into doing it for room and board. The real FML here is that you're so desperate for attention that you feel compelled to make up elaborate lies about how much your life sucks just so people will pity you.

yea i agree with 35 i call bullshit for a few reasons 1. like #35 said most camps just dont hire counselors all willy-nilly (yes i do use the phrase willy-nilly) they do checks and if anything they try to make the counselorsaround the same age as the camp's intended audience 2. Given that the OP didnt specify an age I, personally cant think of an age/(age range) where a kid would have the option of staying at their bf/gf beach house AND their mom would ACTUALLY miss them enough to WANT to spend the summer in a camp... (the only plausible age range i could think of is "late highschool" and even then i doubt most mothers would be willing forgo their comfortable house for the great outdoors)

I'm not saying that this post is the truth...but I can say that I went to camp for many years (including late high school) and one of my friends moms showed up as a nurse about halfway through the summer. If the camp KNOWS they're qualified (which is quite possible), they are willing to hire if they need the staff!!
