Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML
Today, I was falling in love with the nostalgia of having handwritten love letters and flowers left on my windshield. Turns out my "secret admirer" was just a mean prank conjured up by my coworkers. They laughed. I cried, hard. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Today, I found out that the person sending me secret love letters was actually my dad, who felt sorry for me. FML
Today, I got flowers from a secret admirer. Turns out they were from my sister's in-laws who own a flower shop. Apparently, everyone feels bad that I'm single and they are convinced I'm gonna die alone. FML
Today, a guy left flowers on my doorstep. I got home to find my dad claiming he bought them for my mum. I told my parents they were mine, they laughed in my face. FML
Today, my Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Today, I sent a $120 bouquet of flowers for mother's day. When I called tonight see if my Mom got them, she replied that they were still on the doorstep because she "didn't want the dogs to get excited and start barking" when she opened the front door to bring them in. FML
Today, I received gorgeous orchids from my long distance boyfriend. I was excited about it and told my parents. They still are convinced I have no boyfriend and I mailed the flowers to myself. FML
Today, the only card I got for Valentine's Day was in my mother's handwriting, and she posted it through the front door herself. She still won't admit it's from her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least she cares :)

Hey, your mother cared enough to feel you could use a pick-me-up and to give you flowers -- sounds pretty good to me! You can still enjoy the bouquet, and as an added benefit, you don't have to worry that they might be from a creepy stalker. 8)

That's awesome that you mother cares enough to do that :-) I totally understand why she did. You're a glass is half empty kind of person. Start looking at your glass is half full! Practice the attitude of gratitude, today and pay this kind act of love forward!

That's a kick ass mom! She seems like she genuinely cares about your happiness! Try sending her something in your handwriting.... Just a suggestion.

Take this as inspiration to get out there, and find someone who's sweet enough to do that kind of thing for you too :). Hell, I turn 17 in 2 weeks, and I've only had one girlfriend! It takes longer for some than others to find love in this ****** up world. Your mom was only trying to help!! At least you know no matter what, that your mom still loves you :). You'll find someone eventually, as I will, and as a great majority of us will :).

Ouch. That's a real kick in the emotional ballsack. Return the favor by sending flowers to her home "Forever yours, Doug". Your dad will really appreciate it (unless his name is Doug).

A kick in the pants??! That sounds like the begining of a horror film.
