Today, my husband was going to let me sleep in for Mother's Day. That would have been great, if my brother didn't call me at 5:30 in the morning to say Happy Mother's Day. Now I'm up like any other day. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got to sleep in late for the first time in 3 years, as wife took our two young daughters out of town to visit with her parents. I told my mother that I was really looking forward to being able to sleep in this morning. The phone rang at 7:30. It was my mother asking me how I slept. FML
Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML
Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML
Today, after weeks of insomnia, I fell asleep. This would have been great if my brother didn't wake me up at 3 a.m., screaming because his guild finally took down a raid boss. I'm now grounded for thumping him, and have to do all his chores while sleep deprived. FML
Today, I was sleeping with my boyfriend and woke up in his arms to hear him say "Mom, Mom." FML
Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML
Today, I was upset because my brother, who I'm very close to, didn't call me for my birthday yesterday. I told my mom about it, and we both immediately went silent on the phone, as we both realized she forgot to call me yesterday as well. FML

Maybe he knows she's always up at 5.30 and wanted to be one of the first people to talk to her on Mother's Day?

Well if he knows she's up at 5:00 I. The morning, wouldn't she be up at 8:00 in the morning? :P

I'm guessing rolling over and going back to bed isnt an opinion for some reason. I turn my phone off for sleeping in. Might try that next time.

The next time you pan on sleeping in turn your phone off.

why can't you just go back to sleep? and maybe you could ask everyone to not call you quite so early, my parents made a rule that no one could call before 10 am on the weekends unless it was an emergency

Do you have kids? Because once you're up, you're up.

I do. And if my husband was watching the kids you better bet your ass of go back to sleep.

If you have a cellphone and that's what you use for communication, why didn't you put it in airplane mode?
SecundusSecunda 27
If I wanted to sleep in, I would do that, yes Granted, I wrote my FML poorly and assumed she used a cellphone as her main mode of communication

Why would your brother call you for Mother's Day?

Fair enough, maybe it's different in America but in my country I've only ever heard of valuing you own mother ect. Not just mothers in general I guess, maybe I'm just clueless. I meant no offence
