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?

I'm guessing you're a teenager, right? And you must think it's completely unfair that your mom makes certain rules and doesn't let you do certain things. Obviously by your SN you have gotten grounded, meaning you're young enough to still live by your mother's rules. And YDI big time for lying.

How did you expect to pull that one off? Usually when I come back from ANY trip, there are always little stories to tell, like the weird person you sat next to on the way, the disgusting showers and all the funny things that happened and friends you made. Your mum was going to ask questions afterwards, especially if she was SO concerned about you leaving... you can't FAKE those little stories and I'm betting, "It was okay." wouldn't cover even her basic queries. It's just fortunate you're a good enough liar to bullshit your way out of anything... one minute. Yeah, YDI (:

If you're young enough to be going to camp you're too young to be shacking up with your boyfriend for a summer. Come on.
