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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

It sucks, but I'm sure shes coming back.

She's coming back though right? It's not like she's missing the ceremony just a bit of the reception, which isn't the most important thing ever, it's just a party... Relax...If you get all stressed about every little bit of your wedding you won't enjoy it at all, sad way to spend the supposedly 'happiest day of your life'

You sound a little selfish. It's not like she's going to miss the ceremony. Maybe she couldn't find anyone to take the dog out for her.

What? This is the worst FML ever, nothing applies, I just want to vote "You're a self centered drama queen" but no such option exist. It's your _reception_, she'll see all the ceremony (Which is what counts, really) and she'll be there to greet the guest, and she'll most likely come back again.

its not that shes just missing 20 min of the reception, she isnt riding in the limo and everything with everyone else either my mom is skipping the majority of my graduation this year so her dogs can pee. it does suck

What else do you expect? It's not like she's going to miss the ceremony or something. A dog can't go a whole day without taking a walk. He can't go to the toilet just like us people. So your overreacting.

#37 (shaunaaaa) - I would totally understand it then because i have pets aswell.

I think sometimes people lose sight of what a wedding is, it's not about expensive dresses, flowers, a big party, photographers, cake, limos etc. It's about showing someone that you love them so much you want to spend forever with them, all the 'stuff' associated with it is immaterial and unneccessary. For the half hour or so that your Mum is gone you probably wouldn't notice if she didn't tell you as you'd be talking to other guests anyway. I'm sure she'll be back in time for your Dad's embarassing speech about things you did when you were younger.
