Today, my mother-in-law purchased matching Christmas presents for myself and my sister-in-law to open together in front of everyone. Guess who are now the proud owners of matching metal tampon cases. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was having a garage sale and my mother-in-law came by to see what I was selling. She decided to buy these ugly green wine glasses that were still unopened. It turns out that she gave those to my wife and me when we got married. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a toaster and a fork as a wedding gift. FML
Today, I bought my mom a gift certificate for a spa treatment for two so we could spend some quality time together. She took my sister. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom bought us matching purity rings. FML
Today, my mother sent off a handmade Christmas wreath I made for my 70-year-old grandmother. It wasn't until after it was sent that we realized the box it was packed in was originally for adult diapers. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, while doing our Christmas shopping, my sister showed me a product that she really hated. The same one I bought her for Christmas. FML
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, my soon to be mother-in-law sent me a birthday present. It was a necklace for me to wear at my wedding. The pendant is a well known lesbian symbol. I'm a woman and I'm marrying her son. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, those could come in handy... You know... If your house ever gets bombed and you happen to be on your period. Don't be so ungrateful.

No. I'm Trevor, your guess was pretty off.

I didn't even know metal tampon cases existed. You learn something new everyday on FML.

Are you sure it isn't a cigar holder?

'Metal' is rather ambiguous. Is it gold, tungsten, uranium? A reddish copper compound would be the most appropriate, I guess. If it looks nice, you can wear it on a necklace, so you always have a tampon ready.

I'm rather confused because copper oxide is a greenish color. I was thinking of a rusty red iron, it would match her clit.

They actually have tampon cases? I thought that was what the purse was for!

I don't think that's the right word for OP's mom. "Bad gift giver?" Definitely. "Stupid?" Maybe.

isnt this worse for your sister-in-law? getting this from your mother-in-law ok, there are some weirdos out there. but from your own mother? :/

Well, no, the SIL could be the OP's husband's brother's wife. At any rate, I'm sure I could come up with a worse gift if I thought about it.

ah, i didn't know that, in my native language we have two different words for it :) thanks for telling me!

Your mother in-law is either a jokester or a horrible gift picker. On the bright side you got a metal tampon case!!

My grandparents do stuff like this all the time. My sisters and I always get matching things. Sometimes even for our birthdays because they're all close together. Don't worry too much about it. She was thinking of you.
