Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, my grocery shopping consisted of Poptarts, SpaghettiOs, Lucky Charms, Popsicles, Easy Mac, and Twinkies. I'm a 25-year-old woman with no kids. FML
Today, I had expired soda and stale chips for my dinner. Why? Because my mother spent all our grocery money on organic food for her chihuahua. FML
Today, my mom went to the store. She said she was feeling generous, and had gotten everyone a little treat. My brothers each got candy and a movie. I got acne medication. FML
Today, I caught my mom eating cat biscuits. We don't have a cat. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, to keep me from "getting fatter", my roommate raided the kitchen. She ate everything from cookies and ice cream to deli meat. The only thing left in the house are vegetables. FML
Today, my mother brought home dinner for four people. I was not one of those people. The dog, however, was. FML
Today, my fiancee asked me to text her a grocery list. I asked for meat, fruit, vegetables, you know, the staples. She came back with tons of sugar cereal, pop tarts, cookie dough, and other unhealthy crap. We have no other food, our monthly budget is gone, and junk food gives me horrible stomach cramps. FML
Today, while many women have a wardrobe full of nothing-to-wear, my mom has a fridge full of nothing-to-eat and a living room full of nowhere-to-sit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#1 is right, it says my MOTHER..... most people who would complain about thier mom not getting them food would not be old enough to afford food

I'd be pissed off if it wasn't the cereal with sugar in it.

I didn't know posting FMLs was such a complex process.

OP ydi for not doing your own shopping..

I'd assume they're too young, like maybe 14 or something? That's not really too young I suppose, but maybe their mom won't give them money? And I think 14 or so is too young to get a job, at least it is where I am.
TraceCase_ 19
I'm sure all of us were dependent on our parents to do the grocery shopping for us when we were kids. There are quite a few of those on FML and that's likely the case here. OP doesn't necessarily deserve it.

FYL. Return the crap and stock up on KD or 99€ burritos

errr... perhaps OP is a child O.o

My mom told me I was old enough to cook myself at 14. Kids are just lazy.
TrimKibbles 12
I'm sure cooking yourself isn't a particularly good idea, and I don't think it would be that safe.

yeah, cannibalism is generally frowned upon in today's society

^ yea and masterbating on a plane ... thanx osama :(

technically you have to be 17 to use this website... so I'd hope OP is slightly more mature for having good spelling/ grammar while on the website.
OL_What_FER 1
Sure 14 is old enough to cook for yourself but you can't make a gourmet meal out of popsicles no matter how old you are! Logic fail . Also how many 14 year olds can drive to the store and buy their own food? Logic double fail

At least you have a stuffed dog to stroke and calm you down
whiteboy7thst 2

RedPillSucks 33
The stuffing, unless it's turkey stuffing, then you eat it.
TheDrifter 24
Well there is usually a shower in the bathroom... op could just end up very clean from washing away the skid marks.
