Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my birthday. My mom and three other relatives each bought me a copy of Diablo 3 for my birthday. A video game that I didn't ask for, for a console I don't have. FML
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Today, when I saw a big box that looked like a playstation, I got really excited and my parents were there and everything looked like it really was something big, so I start to open the wrapper and surprise... it was a lamp. FML
Today, it's my birthday. After a day out partying, I came home to find all my stuff smashed in the yard, even my 42" plasma TV. After asking my girlfriend what her problem was, she said a "slut" left a message on the machine stating how fun last night was. It turned out to be my mom. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML
Today, I invited my boss and his family over for dinner. As usual, I bought his kids Christmas' presents, nothing too fancy though. This year, he had one more that wasn't here last year. So I just pulled something from under the tree to hand him. He opened it on the spot. It was my son's PS3. FML
Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML
Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Unless your brother bought his PS3 himself I have to wonder why your parents didn't just by one for both of you? Like a family one. You'd have to take it in turns sure, but that's just part of being a family...I don't get why each member of a household has to have their own tv and games console..

She prob saw you were outgrowing your old clothes and needed some new ones. That is how moms think. Maybe the PS3 will be a christmas gift.

I don't know about other people but my comment said IF the brother didn't buy his own. Also, I share a PS3 with my brother (and mum and dad but they don't use it much). It's fine. Can be annoying sometimes but sharing is a part of life, particularly in a family - it helps build patience and understanding and can help you play in moderation. If I didn't kick my brother off occasionally he'd never get off...

You had to open the box to realize it? Your mom's clothes must be really heavy to have made that mistake. Yea it was the PS3 box but the difference in weight should have been obvious.

I imagine she put clothes in TO make it heavy. Clothes are surprisingly heavy you know. Plus OP wouldn't have been thinking about the weight, they had no reason to be suspicious.

Well I can understand if maybe she put in pants or something that would actually be heavy. I was thinking of it from my point of view. My mom used to do this shit all the time. One year she bought me a cell phone, took everything out of the box and filled it with batteries and packed clothes around it so if shaken it wouldn't be noticeable. And another year she gave me an enormous box and when I opened it, it was a crock pot box, so me an 8 year old is sitting there like huh??? A crockpot? And then when I opened it, it was filled with newspaper and three powerpuff girls dolls with two guitars and a drum. Pretty awesome.

My sister and brother-in-law did that to my nephew for Christmas when he was six years old. But it was with a Wii box filled with clothes. I don't care how old you are, it's still just cruel. Sorry, OP, that just sucks!
