Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she had some good pictures of me for my resume. She gave me her phone to look through her gallery. I found a beautiful album of photos of me and my ex. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at pictures from the beach. She goes, "That is a REALLY ugly picture of Michelle" (my cousin). The picture was of me. FML
Today, when I visited my grandmother at her nursing home, I was looking at pictures she had of all the grandkids. All were normal graduation pictures etc. but mine was a cutout where she made me skinnier. FML
Today, my mother sent a picture that was meant for her husband. I cannot unsee what I have seen. FML
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, “I’m so proud of you!” I immediately replied, “Thanks, Mom!” Then I realized it was meant for my sister, and my mom had accidentally texted me instead of her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Good to know mom's paying attention...

At least she didn't send a picture of an Unattractive person, thinking it was you.

Or a sex tape of your parents.

How many times has Op gotten lost? Apparently her mom can't tell what she looks like.

Mommy knows best right?

How does this happen in any other world except one where your mom is either blind or really mean?

My guess is that it happened on Earth and her mom is heartless

My guess is that Mom was in the nosebleed section trying to get a picture of one ant wearing the same robes as all the other ants.

75 that's totally true! And OP shouldn't be offended. Mistakes are made and it's not likely that her mother did it to purposefully hurt her. If anything it should be f her moms life because her eye sight might not be as good as it was when she was younger.

For my dance recital, my mom video taped a different girl and not me...

At the least the girl in the picture was pretty.

I'd bang her.

That is an epic fail on the mom's part. And it is amazing to me that some people still say YDI to OP. How is this OP's fault at all and why did she deserve it?

^I don't know why but I love this guy. :)

Or so the OP would have us believe. There's no photographic evidence that she actually graduated.

That's true..... Hmmmm

Once you graduate, really only 4 more years before you get a useless degree, (depending what you get it in), and then you can bask in the USA's crappy economy and get a dead end job at minimum wage with nice juicy student loans. Ahh yes, graduation.

Wait... Who was in the picture? Do you have a sister of some sort?
KiddNYC1O 22
Sister? Op would have mentioned it. It was a random girl.

Well you guys are all wearing the same thing so its understandable?
MidnaLink 35
Unless they were all wearing face covers, I don't think so...
Bluekaren16 19
Touché. But it also depends on where the mother was sitting and how far away she was from her daughter.
Meettitan 14
From the sounds of it though, it was obvious that it wasn't her.
daminantion 14
All wearing ye same robe + duckface.. = all the crazy girls that age look the same xD
BeforeItWasCool 12
By the sounds of it? Dear Lord, give me strength. Anyone with basic literacy skills and a sense of logic can come to the conclusion that it wasn't OP in the picture. Hell, the FML says so in black and white. Rather useless a comment, 66.

Sometimes at graduations you have to sit very far back. She might not have known.

Send her a picture of a mom who knows who her daughter is
PamChopsWithMint 5
Haha!

9 did you think that through? Op: "Excuse me ma'am but do you know what your daughter looks like?" Random Lady: "Yes I do" Op: "Well can I take your picture?"

I'm pretty sure he was joking. Sheesh. *eye roll*

27- It's the concept of it.

I guess you're pretty enough to look like her!
