Today, my mom called 5 times and I didn't pick up due to being in class at college. I was later called to the front desk, where my mom was crying. She said she was worried about me because I didn't say "I love you" to her after she dropped me off at college. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML
Today, I received a message from front desk that my concerned father is trying to contact me. I call only to hear that my parents were freaking out that I wasn't answering my phone. They saw me 9 hours ago. They were going to call the police. I'm in college and also don't live with them anymore. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, my mom hasn't talked to me for 5 days, so, worried sick, I called my grandpa. She's been in jail, and no one cared to inform me. Great. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh wow. You would think she would know you can't answer your phone during class. That and she seems rather clingy. Perhaps maybe start finding your own way to college if she's going to continue to do this.

To the people trying to defend the mother, yes, she may be getting empty nest syndrome or struggling with other difficult emotional stuff, but that does not make her behavior acceptable. If this was a boyfriend/husband trying to guilt his girlfriend/wife into telling him when she leaves for a routine thing by public shaming rather than a mother doing it to her son, everybody would be in total support of the woman trying to convince her to get out of an abusive situation.

Um, most seem to be defending OP. only about 5-6 are saying it's cute.

Double standards for you

I'm sorry, but this comment doesn't fit this FML. This FML doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the OP's parent is a woman. It has to do with the fact that it is the OP's mother. That is why a few people think it's cute (which it's not). If it was being done by a girlfriend people would think she was crazy and would be telling the OP to get out of the relationship. Not everything is gender VS gender.

What kind of college has a front desk?

Maybe a "man" shouldn't be getting dropped off by his Mommy at a COLLEGE...

To #41: Yes, because everyone is magically financially stable and 100% can be independent the second they turn 18. But to respond to the FML, it's not "sweet" or "cute" like some people are saying, its disruptive to the OPs life. Just because it was done in "good conscience", doesn't mean it was a positive thing.

I started working when I was 15, had a car by 16, and on my own, and in 4 year college by 18. It's called having a work ethic, not being babied, maybe that's why his Mommy was crying ...

Not everyone with "a good work ethic" can afford to have their own car, live alone and pay for college. Small towns with fewer jobs or big cities with higher rent could affect one's ability to have those things.

Try doing that now, 53. Donate everything you've worked for and start again now. You won't be so cocky then, old man. It's difficult, and not from lack of trying. Different times.

I guess 32 is considered old? Stop making excuses for people

Honestly, that is a show of motherly love. She obviously cares a lot about you. Lucky you.

Awww that's so sweet... She just wanted to make sure you didn't think she forgot about you.
