Today, my mother admitted to me that she sends me up and down the stairs to get things for her because she thinks I could use the exercise. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother offered to give my overweight girlfriend the workout DVDs that she no longer needs. FML
Today, my mom is mad at me because, at her insistence, I got a company to install a stairlift for her due to the pain in her legs, and after buying it and getting it installed, it turns out she’s too obese for it. It can carry me and Dad, but with her it just makes a grinding noise and refuses to move. FML
Today, I argued with my mom that I deserved enough independence to ride my bike to school. Halfway there, I realized I was so out of shape that I had to call her for a ride. FML
Today, I had trouble carrying a box upstairs because my arms were sore from working out. My mom asked me, "Why are you working out so much then?" I didn't have the heart to tell her it was because of her 100-pound weight gain and that I didn't want to end up looking like her. FML
Today, my mom once again commented on how I need to work out. It has come to the point that I now walk around in exercise clothes and have a bottle of water/fake sweat to put on, just so she thinks I work out. This is how lazy I am. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mother, during which she told me she wished she’d thrown herself down the stairs the minute she discovered she was pregnant. I told her, “There's the stairs, help yourself!” She called the police and told them I threatened to push her down the stairs. FML
Today, my mother-in-law sent me a pedometer for my birthday. I've been confined to a wheelchair for most of my life. FML
Today, I helped my parents move out of their old house. While I was guiding my dad down the stairs with the couch, my mom asked me to pick up the tape on the step below me. I bent over and grunted. My dad thought I said "Go" and kept moving. He knocked me down two flights of steps. FML
Today, I was told how cruel and selfish I am for rubbing my weight loss in my mom’s face. I’ve literally begged my mom to walk, jog, workout with me for months. She went exactly once. She complained the whole time, then called me a bitch for finishing my run while she sat in the car. FML
Today, my mother was vaccuming the stairs. Trying to be polite, I climbed over the banister to the floor above, so I wouldn't interrupt her. She looked at me odd and said, "I'm surprised that held your weight." The banister is maple and steel. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She just could've told you her concerns instead of you fetching her own things.

You sure it isn't just an excuse because she can't be asked to get the things herself?

We could all use exercise. Doesn't necessarily mean you are overweight. I weigh 120 lbs and I can use all the exercise I can get. I wish I had a house with stairs. That is good exercise right there. Actually, I just wish I had a house in general. Or a real home ._.

"No, you go get it for me, why do you think I had kids?" Who hasn't heard that sentiment before?

OP's mom is a bitch. plain and simple. She sounds just like my mom. my mom will say I am so fat and will bitch for HOURS if I bring home a chocolate bar, but will expect me to eat massive triple servings of her fried food for main meals (she prepares boiled/healthy for herself though) and I am not allowed in the kitchen. you can't win with parents like that.

I do run at least a mile everyday. I could have used the exercise forty pounds ago. Now I'm an average weight, but I guess to her I'll always be fat.
