Today, my mother was talking about a holiday she went on this time last year. She turned to me to say, "You would've loved it, it's a shame you couldn't come". I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday together. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, my mum told me she would rather spend Christmas with her boyfriend than with her own family. FML
Today, I was helping my mom pack for our family vacation. We were both talking about how excited we were, when she turned to me and said, "Would you be offended if I asked you not to come? It's just… I want to have fun." FML
Today, I showed up at my mom’s with homemade soup, since she said she wasn’t hosting Christmas Eve because she had the flu. My entire family was there without me. FML
Today, my brother had his fiancée over to meet the whole family. We were having a great time with her, and my mother gushed to her that she was like the daughter she never had. I'm her daughter. 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

I was just thinking Alzheimer's. But not necessarily. I personally just have a really bad memory.

With all the neurotoxic pollution and substances being released into our environment every day, we'll be seeing ever more of this. Brace yourselves.

I feel 50% worst about myself after reading that

Maybe she's meaning when she was pregnant..?
ShyAnn29 15
Ok never mind, I read it wrong.

Maybe the vacation was so unforgettable that she forgot you were there.

That doesn't make any sense. Unless you're comparing the mother's memory to a computer? The vacation was so unforgettable that all the memories caused an integer overflow, crashing her system and restarting the memory unit?
andrekrivo 20
nah, just a mom burn.

she may have Alzheimer's but at least she doesn't have Alzheimer's.

She was just a carry-on to her mom.

Don't be hating on the middle.

Yeah, Malcolm was the STAR of the show.

I dunno, I was the middle of 5, and when my parents would take us out places, they would forget me there from time to time.

As a "general rule" the first child is independent, the middle child is rebellious, and the youngest child is dependent. I don't know if that's always true, but with my husband and his two younger brothers, that is SPOT ON.

maybe she went off and had her 'fun' without you. And that's the party she remembers

You shouldn't feel bad about her forgetting you were there, you probably weren't.

"I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday". Can you please tell me why OP would say that if they hadn't gone??

It's possible 10 was joking? I guess?

OP is their child. I'd say they're worth remembering.
joea21 21
Doesn't mean they're worth remembering. Hitler was someone's child too, don't think his mother wants to remember him either. Bam, mind blown.

My friend went on vacation with her mom and sisters. Every picture the mother put in the Memory book has the other girls but no Dana. I thought Dana's mom sucked until I realized Dana is kind of a party killer and didn't even want to leave the boat. So maybe Op didn't make the trip memorable.

#36, Everyone remembers Hitler though, right? Bam, mind blown.
joea21 21
Touché 36 but this OP is not important enough either say you look at it
davincidasecond 24
I'm not saying this to be funny, but maybe she got hit in the head or something. Either that or she's going through some sort of dementia.
fakedsincerity 32
Maybe you were really boring and she felt like you weren't there.
