Today, it's the 11th day I've been in the hospital due to my kidneys. My mother has come in every day since to make me feel bad about missing Thanksgiving. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ended up in the hospital for the fourth time since beginning of January due to kidney stones. FML
Today, it's my third day in the hospital. On Monday, my mother grounded me for not going to school because I was “milking” a sore foot. On Wednesday, we finally went to the ER and it turns out I have a very bad infection in my foot. She refuses to come to the hospital. FML
Today, my boyfriend's bitch of a mother had surgery and now I'm expected to be her at-home nurse. I haven't been able to sit down for more than 5 minutes thanks to her and I've barely slept. FML
Today, I was admitted to hospital for suspected kidney failure. I called my best friend to let her know I couldn't make it to her birthday party tonight. She seemed to be infinitely more upset that I wouldn't be able to give her a birthday present. FML
Today, after I'd given myself a week off work for my birthday, and my alcoholic sister decided she needed to go to rehab, which then hijacked the whole week for her crisis, at 4:30 am, the morning I'm supposed to return to work, I end up in the ER with a first time kidney stone. The next thing I know, she's in the ER for an injury. FML
Today, I already hate the holidays. My mom has been trying to be helpful, but has severe undiagnosed memory problems that our family ignores. They've also ignored all the house repairs, but have no problem consoling her while she cries how mean I am for missing her party, because I used my vacation time to fix the house. FML
Today, I'm on bed rest after a major surgery. I can walk to the bathroom but can barely raise my hands. At the hospital, my mom gave this dramatic speech of being there whenever I needed her. When I asked her to come make me breakfast, she didn’t show up til noon then complained I was in a bad mood. FML
Today, I'm going to visit my mother in hospital. She broke her hip and my father refused to take her to hospital for 6 days, insisting she would get better. My dog had cancer surgery, which will cost me a whole month's salary. I’m still recovering from 2 major surgeries myself, and my kids are being total dorks. FML
Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML
Today, it's the 8th day in a row that my mother-in-law has made me drink laxative tea. I still haven't pooped yet and I'm terrified of what's to come. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sort of hard to know how to feel about an FML with so little information. Which relatives visited during thanksgiving? What were the names of their pets?!

Maybe she's trying to say, "It's such a shame you couldn't make it to Thanksgiving," as in "We really missed you."

That is likely. But it still isn't fair to say so in a way that makes OP feel bad or guilty about missing the holiday.

Agreed, whatever the situation, it is sad that some ppl feel the need to continually bring up something that is done and over with. Let it go and be there for your loved one, last thing they need is more stress and anxiety about the next time you bring it up.

I'm supposed to feel bad for you for having a mom who visits you every day in hospital...?

Only if you don't willfully ignore the part where her visits make the OP feel bad. About missing a holiday for /medical issues/.

Sheesh, FMLs don't always have to be tragic, lighten up!

Thank you!

If you tell me your mom visits you in the hospital everyday and immediately slaps you in the face, should I feel bad for you? I would rather the slap, its quick, over and done with.

I doubt that's the reason she's coming in. Must be hard on her, too. Get better soon, OP.

I'd like to say that you need a new mother. But that's really not going to happen. FYL

Maybe it's a defense mechanism, being abrasive so she doesn't have to deal with the stress of you being in the hospital? Either way FYL, and hope you get well soon OP!

Isn't there a way to ban or prevent unwanted visitors? It doesn't matter her reasoning, even if it's because she's stressed or hurting, YOU are the one with apparently serious kidney issues, a vital organ for living, and you no doubt already feel bad about missing the holiday with loved ones. That's definitely abusive even on just an emotional level. I can only hope you take action OP or are strong enough to weather her words.

I'm going to the hospital now for my kidney lol. And to make it better my mothers said to me all day that it was just back pain, oh to make it all the better we were in the middle of her birthday party, so I guess my goal really is to just **** up her day ;)

Tell her if she continues with the same topic, then you'll purposely going to miss Christmas as well if she don't stop making you feel bad.
