Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a phone call saying I was no longer a bridesmaid for a wedding in June. It's my mom's 4th wedding. I'm getting replaced by our dog. FML
Today, I asked my fiancee to drive me to the airport for a business trip in a few days. She ranted angrily that she already had plans, so I asked my mom to take me instead. Now she's pissed and saying, "Why don't you just go marry your mommy, since she does everything for you?" FML
Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML
Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML
Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML
Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML
Today, my mom's dog bit my dad's girlfriend in the face. At my wedding. We did not know she was bringing her dog. FML
Today, my insane mother struck again. She refused to drive me to my doctor’s appointment for my asthma because the office won’t let her bring her precious doggo inside and it’s too cold to sit in the car with it. No, she won’t leave it at home like a normal person, and no it’s not a service dog. FML
Today, the same manager who wrote me up for missing work when my mom had had a stroke, thought it was perfectly acceptable to announce she was leaving work 6 hours early to take her dogs to the groomers. Apparently, that appointment was more urgent than me riding in an ambulance with my mother. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I would dog-sit for them while they go to my ex's wedding. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#2 I'd think that her daughter's wedding is more important than this. If the dog is so important, she should have made plans for someone else to watch the dog that day so she could be there the whole time to support her daughter.

I agree with #13. What's the big deal? Jesus she's not SKIPPING the whole freaking wedding here, there is nothing wrong with going home real quick to let the dog out so he/she doesn't pee all over the house. OP you might need to be less of a Bridezilla.

Uh, so? I'm with the other people who said you need to grow up. It's not that big a deal that she has to briefly leave your RECEPTION to take her dog out. It's not like she ran out in the middle of the ceremony screaming "I have to to go home and take my dog out to go the bathroom!!!" And I definitely don't agree with the people complaining "it's the most important day of her life."

Boohoo. Grow up, you're getting married. How would you like it if your daughter/son hated you just because you had to skip out a bit on the marriage to do some buisness? God, you're the bitch, not your mother.

You know, in any other situation I would say that you have a legitimate argument in saying that it would not be difficult for your mother to make arrangements for a neighbor to take care of the dog for the day. But the fact that you are making such a huge deal about it that you actually tried to make it into another "FML my mommy loves the doggy more!" story makes it clear that you are overreacting. Big time. She will be gone for an hour. You can wait for her. Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean the world revolves around you. And really, if it is the biggest day of your life, you have a sad life.

Wedding days may not be THE most important day in people's lives, but it is pretty damn important. & people, mostly men, out there who are like "whatever, it's just a wedding" Please, be considerate. & don't be surprised if you don't even get married with a heart like that.

I am a woman, and I still think you're being a spoiled brat for expecting everyone to drop their responsibilities just because you think the world revolves around you. And even more so for throwing a temper tantrum when they don't.

#45, you're worse than the OP. If the mother missed the actual marriage, than she would be a bitch. But she didn't. It's the RECEPTION. All you do is dance, eat, drink, etc. You're just one of those godawful bridezilla bitches who wants their over-the-top, unrealistic fairy tale weddings.

Um,132 I am female and to put this into perspective, I *shudder* at the thought of being with a man for more than 6 months and marriage wise I'd pay the guy to go propose to someone else. I also have been engaged since I was 16 (arranged marriage kinda) and last year I kindly told the guy to look for someone else because it ain't happening. So I still say: weddings are unnecessary and expensive narcissistic parties. If you need it to validate your love for each other and it's up there as one of the biggest days of your life, then sorry but you need help!
