Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother is mad at me for deleting my Facebook account. I actually deleted the account because I'd had enough of putting up with her criticizing comments on every Facebook post I made. FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Today, my mom got angry that I wasn't responding to her texts. I couldn't because I was in the dentist's chair. She'd dropped me off, and after returning from errands, sent the text from the waiting room. FML
Today, my mom added me on Facebook. She wrote on my wall, for the whole world to see, "Why are you swearing on the internet?! You're grounded". FML
Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, after a very harsh argument from my mother about her not seeing her grandchild enough, I decided to vent out my rage in a text to my friend. It wasn't until after I sent the message, that yes, I sent that message to my mom FML
Today, my fiancé told my mom that she screwed me up. I now have to write an apologetic e-mail to her for something that I agree with, in order for her to stop calling me crying. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML

"Dear, Ellen. My mother is so obsessed with you, that she is ignoring her offspring, simply because I won't send you a letter. So here is my letter, please allow me on your show without my mom. Ps I think you're great. Love, OP"

You should send this to Ellen, she'll get a good laugh out of it.

I'm more wondering why OP wouldn't at least *pretend* do it, if it's so important to his mother. Also makes me think OP probably shot his mother down in a very rude way, to receive the silent treatment.

You should write to Ellen about that instead.

I can see why she wanted you to write about her to Ellen. Seems like she gives $10,000 to just anyone nowadays

27, there's no non-harsh way to put this, but some mothers are stupid and/or certifiably crazy. This sounds like the same sort of shit my mom would've pulled before she got institutionalized. If you're constantly giving in to the irrational demands of someone like that, you're going to go insane yourself. It also doesn't matter how OP shut her down, the mother in a case like I described is going to think it's rude, even if it's the nicest rejection imaginable.

I bet Ellen is doing something for Mother's Day and OP's mom wanted in on it.

I don't know who Ellen is but her surname sounds like the spanish word "degenerado", which means perverted or retarded

How do you NOT know who Ellen is?

Because #34 is most likely actually from Spain and people outside of the US really don't care about who she is?

She has a pretty big fanbase in Australia as well.

But I guess thats mostly because of her wife, Portia.

#34 Yep that's Ellen! On both counts.

Go ahead and write to her, anyway. Just be totally honest! ;)

Who remembers the family guy where you can see Ellen's breath on hd tv?
