Today, I was at the mall with my mom, when I saw a little pamphlet about a charity for abused children. I showed her and said I was going to donate a few dollars. She quickly said no, calling it a waste of money and muttering that the kids probably deserved it anyway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I spent my last $6 on groceries, the woman at the register gave me a dirty look because I declined to donate $1 to a children's charity. My six year-old son immediately chimed in with, "Mommy, why aren't you helping the poor children?" FML
Today, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate $1 to help hungry children. I said, “Not today, thank you.” The man behind me loudly said, “Wow…” Now everyone thinks I hate children. I'm just that broke. FML
Today, I tried to give some change to a homeless man. My girlfriend pulled me away and ranted about how homeless people are all basically bastards who deserve their misfortune, and that I shouldn't give "our" money away. FML
Today, my sister attempted to get me to fund her daughter, my godchild's, birthday party. I told her I would give her 200 (which isn't much). Our mom "intervened" by cussing me out for being a cheap ass piece of shit. I was about to give her $200, which is A LOT in our currency when exchanged. FML
Today, I went shopping with my mother, when someone snuck a pack of condoms into our cart while our backs were turned. When we got to the register, my mom, whose wealth makes me ineligible for financial aid, noticed the condoms and she announced that she wasn't paying for the college I got accepted to next year because she doesn't want a promiscuous daughter. FML
Today, a lady I know gave my 3 year-old daughter a little coin purse, saying, "Your mum can put some money in that for you." My daughter responded, "But mummy has no money." I would have laughed, had it not been spot on. FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, I decided I need help, so I confessed to my mother that I'm bulimic. After she looked it up online she started screaming at me for "Wasting food that I'm not paying for." FML
Today, I bought my mother an expensive TV she had been looking at. After I bought it, she continued browsing for more stuff. I told her I couldn't afford the extra items. She got mad and called me "selfish". FML
Today, my mom proved to me that there was favoritism between me and my siblings. My mom made me use my money to buy everyone dinner, but when my brother wanted to buy himself food, my mom asked him if he was gonna buy me and our sister some too, he said, "No, I don’t want to" and she said, "That’s fine."

Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Do it anyways. Two reasons: 1. You will be donating for good :) 2. You can be a ******* rebel ;)

If you were going to donate it, she can't say no. It's your money you do with it what you wish, and if you think it's something you should donate some money to then do so.

I was abused from when I was born until I was six. Ask your mom what I did to deserve that abuse. Your mom is a huge bitch OP

I'm sorry that happened. I hope you are doing great things and have a wonderful life now!

I am a lot better. Was adopted at 7 who fostered my sister and I on and off. They love us as much as their own biological children

My mom was abused as a child as well. It's horrible. No one ever deserves it. I would like to see your bitchy mother tell mine that she deserve the abuse, OP. My mother would probably punch her lights out, because she deserves it.

I'd probably use my (wooden) sword to bash her head in. No child deserves to be abused!

#13 I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, and I'm sorry that comments like what OP's mother made still has the ability to affect you this strongly. I am so glad that you were adopted by a loving family and I hope that they give you all of the love and hugs that I wish you had received from someone from birth until you were 6.

Wow. That's awful. Your mother has no compassion.

No child ever deserves to be abused. That's horrible for her to say children are innocent like animals, most of them don't realize what they do is wrong and surely don't do it to annoy/ anger their parents. Abuse is a horrible thing period. Nobody deserves to be put through pain and suffering from another person. Donating to the charity would be amazing of you OP.

what about spanking for discipline. besides, a child's mind is wonderful, they think outside the box, and they know what they are doing subconsciously is wrong, and there is always that feeling that it's not right, but they do it anyways. they do it to test boundaries, to see what rules they can bend. humans are always seeking a way to dominate another. children aren't innocent. I've read about kids who have killed other peoole over things. they know what they do, cause killing is an instinct

Aside from his name, his comment makes me wonder what the eff he's talking about and how exactly it applies to op's submission. Some people are so freaking clueless you want to ask them if they took their stupidity pills this morning or if all this ignorance is for your benefit alone. I mean seriously how could you not know that that was completely inappropriate to what's being discussed here? Good Lord!

You should steal all of your moms money and donate it to that charity and then call a newspaper and tell them how generous she is and how they should write a story about her

WTF How do kids getting hit and called names BY THEIR PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS FOR NO REASON deserve it?
LyingBlood 8
some people go to far. but there are those kids who purposly do stuff knowing bad things can happen to them. needling you parent isn't a good thing, but they like doing it.
