Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." 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 lit a candle in our living room, telling the family how much she loved it. She then went on the tell us that my dad got it for her and it must have been some cheap candle. I bought the candle as a gift for her on her birthday. FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, after lecturing my daughter about being responsible with her money, she got a package from Amazon. What was in it? A lamp shaped like toast. She already has a lamp. FML
Today, it was my mom's birthday. I decided to get her a Willow Tree statue of a woman fairy holding a heart. After dinner, I presented my gift. My mother asked me how much it was. I replied, $30. She threw me a dirty look, shoved the present in my direction, and told me to return it. FML
Today, I asked my mom why the lamp in the living room wasn’t working. She immediately plugged it in, it worked, and she called me a complete idiot. I haven’t slept in a week. FML
Today, my mom and I were talking about a wedding decoration that we are going to use at my wedding. I insisted that I gave the decorations to her and I didn’t bother looking in my house. She came over for the night and cleaned while I was at work. She found the decorations that I'd insisted that I'd given to her. FML
Today, my mother brought over some early Christmas presents for me and the kids. The kid's presents were fine, mine however consisted of many yard accessories, including solar lights. I live in an apartment building with no yard. Her response? "Buy a potted plant and shove them in there." FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, my mother opened her birthday gift in front of my entire family. Two days ago, I ordered an essential oil diffuser and flesh light from Amazon. Guess which one she got? FML
Today, my mother scolded me for having a lighter in my room. My reason I had it? The candle that she bought me for my 25th birthday. I don't even live with her anymore, she showed up uninvited, and started going through my stuff. FML

Truthfully a mini lighthouse is a really shitty gift.

Lighthouses and nightlights are two different things, my friend.

Except when they are combined into one item. I know, your mind is blown.

Help me clean it up! It's all over the walls!

Judging by their genius post, I'd say there wouldn't be much to clean up.

Btw, Ouchandgoodfight.... You're a condescending ****. I just wanted to let you know that I dislike you.

It was a calm statement. Very calm. I'm not yelling, or even angry. I was just calmly stating a fact.

Aww, she's so appreciative!

Wow, just because your mom feels like shit doesn't mean she should treat you like that, especially if you were trying to cheer her up.

Amazing! Bad grammar AND a bad pun! I bet you'll be a comedian some day.

Actually it's not bad grammar. It's incorrect word usage.

Menopause is my guess
unknown_user5566 27
Of course it is. If a woman acts like a bitch, it's always PMS/Menopause/typical woman logic. You sir, are a genius.
SneakherHead 5
Yeah it's definitely Menopause or PMS

22! Your comment reminds me of my moms fight with me, and my girlfriends fight with me... me... "Honey, are you okay?" Her... " WHAT THE F****??? DO I LOO OKAY??" Me. "...no? Are you on your period? Can I help do something?" Her: "all guys think its PMS OR MENOPAUSE! F** you!!!" Me. "What's wrong then? Can I help?" Her. "NO ! I'm on my period! Guys can't fix everything you know!!" Totally not pms or anything like that... Right 22?

78- Oh, forgive me. The one instance in your life where PMS is the culprit of a shitty attitude OBVIOUSLY means that it's ALWAYS the cause. My original comment (22) wasn't denying that PMS, etc, never causes a bad mood. I'm just sick of seeing those type of comments on every FML where a girl is rude.

78- you had that conversation with your mom?
