Today, my mother called me a bad son for not telling her "Happy Mother's Day". When I told her Mother's Day wasn't until the 10th, she said that I would have forgotten anyway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom shaming me for forgetting my sister's birthday. It isn't her birthday today, it's mine. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML
Today, my mother lectured me for not spending enough time with her. We literally just got back from a 10 day vacation together. FML
Today, I missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, my mother used climate change as an excuse for not remembering my birthday. FML
Today, after I took my mom her favourite wine, a card, and an expensive orchid for her conservatory, and also spent all Saturday afternoon with her and took her out for lunch, what did she post on Facebook? Her disappointment that I didn’t spend Mother’s Day with her on Sunday because I was working. FML
Today, I planned a lunch out with my mom for Mother's Day. She seemed excited about it and "couldn't wait!" She never showed up. FML
Today, I told my mom, "I love you". She responded with, "What? I never told you I loved you." FML
Today, I'm mad at my dad for forgetting it's my birthday. He's mad at me for not reminding him. FML

Mother's Day has always been the worst holiday ever in my family's house. Some moms you just can't win with. I think that if he knew that Mother's Day was the 10th, and she didn't, he probably would have remembered better than she.

How much does she really care about mother's day if she already thought it passed? People who genuinely care about mother's day actually know when it is. She's just going out of her way to be vindictive, I'm sorry. Sounds like my mother.

haha sounds like my mom- my mom wants to get my aunt a gift even though my aunt already has three kids. I made a bet with my mom that she doesn't have to get a gift for my aunt and that my aunt probably wont give a gift to my mom. I bet giving my mom a mothers day gift if she wins have to give her one... I realize now I wont find out if my mom will get a gift from my aunt until mothers day...

If my mom would have said something like that to me I would forget about it. Then on the 10th she'd say the same thing and I'd say "Not my fault. According to you I'm a bad son and bad son's forget about such days".

#16: bad son's? no. Not right. Grammar check. In that sentence, nothing is possessed by the sons.

All mom's are spin-masters...always turning arguments around to favor them. No matter how stupid what they say sounds, you just can't win. It's not fair. Show her you're a perfectly good son by wishing her a Happy Mother's Day first thing on Sunday anyway. Then flash her an "I told you so" smirk if you're feeling vengeful x)

Tell her she's a bad mother for forgetting your birthday when it's not, and give the same explanation.

#17: Not right. Grammar check. In that sentence, the usage of "son" was singular. Plural possessive is "sons'". Don't call people out unless you know what you're talking about, kthxbai

actually I think it should have been sons' , not son's

actually 20, whether it is singular 'son' or plural 'sons' 16 shouldn't have been using the possessive form at all. (PS - let me know what it's like to eat your words with your foot in your mouth)
