Today, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, I discovered my mom has been using my credit card to buy everyone's Christmas presents. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, it's my mother's birthday. She received the ultimate gift from my brother, who told her he had just been accepted into medical school. I bought her scratch-offs. She won a dollar. 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

That sucks. Tell your mom the truth. For father's day give him fake lottery tickets or get a box the size of something he REALLLYYY wants, and put a drawing of a Kindle finger in it. Add some random newspapers and junk to make it feel the same weight as what he wants.

Your Mom probably knows the idea a minimum come from you guys. We know how romantic (If at all) our husbands are!

Can't you show her reciepts to show that you and your sister got the tickets?

They now have the choice of letting mom be happy or putting mom into a fight. They sacrificed their happiness for hers, that makes them family heroes. Good for them.

37, although I see where you're coming from they should still admit to it. It's bound to come up in future family arguments with the mum shouting that the kids don't do anything for her like their father does and so on. I've seen it happen unfortunately and it's not fair on the kids. They could even say they all pooled together to prevent major arguments!

Dang! I only bought my mother a $15. rose bush! I feel like a cheapskate! (Plus taking her out for lunch now!) :P Sounds like dad needs to pitch in some cash or tongues are going to get loose and dad will look like the liar he is!

Well, for all we know, OP could have 25 sisters. Not much of a difference then :P
