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.

Good for her, actually; I hate people who think their animals should just hold it forever because it inconveniences them. If it's that big of a deal to you, tell her to bring her dog with her to the wedding.

You're so self-centered. Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean that the responsibilities of the people around you suddenly disappear for a day. Grow up. I'm 16 and I know better than you do.

Uhhh.... my mother in law did this during our wedding. Not a problem. It's during the reception, not the wedding vows or owt. Also there's always that possibility that it's part of a larger plan. My mother in law came back from letting said dogs out, with some overnight bags and information about the fancy hotel she'd surprised us with. get over yourself!

Agree with #2. Haha well said #147. Your mom did the right thing, atleast she cares about the dog.

It's her special day her mother should at least have someone take care of the dog. #150, her mom didn't do the right thing. You don't leave a ceremony, at all, especially your daughters, thats a bad reputation and people will be talking about that mother for another year.

That's what you get for not allowing the dog there. The dog IS a family member, you know.

Wow your mom is a heartless bitch.

Your mom probably doesn't realize it's that important to you (just look at the variety of responses on here -- the reception and limo hold different meaning for different people). To give her the benefit of the doubt, she probably just figured letting the dog out herself would be easiest and it's not an indicator that she cares more about her pet than you. Just let her know that you would prefer it if she stayed because you want her there for support, and go from there.

I understand how you can feel slighted. However, missing a ride in a limo and maybe a half hour out of the reception to go let the dog out isn't the end of the world. I doubt she will miss any of the important parts of your reception. While she could have found someone to do it for her, chances are that those people she would have normally asked are probably at your wedding, and I find myself agreeing with all the #2s here.
