Today, my son gave me some flowers for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, the only time I can enjoy them is when I go into the bathroom where they are kept so the cat doesn't eat them. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sent a $120 bouquet of flowers for mother's day. When I called tonight see if my Mom got them, she replied that they were still on the doorstep because she "didn't want the dogs to get excited and start barking" when she opened the front door to bring them in. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to give his mother a box of chocolates and flowers for Mother's Day. She just stared at them and said, "What's this for? You're not my daughter, and never will be. But I'll keep the chocolate." 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 Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Today, I caught my mom eating cat biscuits. We don't have a cat. FML
Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML
Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML
Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey, it's still a nice present, doesn't matter where you are to appreciate them. :)

Would a rose in any other room smell as sweet?

exactly! still a lovely gesture. and look on the bright side - if constipation occurs, you can sit for as long as you want and stare at the pretty flowers.

Cats can't speak nor do they have a phone. If you're cat fan maybe u want to have something examined like you're head.

Given your profile pic, your comment is weirdly hilarious.

20, your* Maybe you should have something examined, like your head.

#20: #3 was making something called a joke. Get a sense of humor and go back to school.

I hope you're laven-der gift anyways. Maybe the cat will know better in the fuchsia.

That pun was so good i rose to my feet and applauded.

A pun to make one think. Well done, good sir.

It's the thought that counts

Flowers are sweet. Maybe next time your son will get something the cat won't want to eat, but it is the thought that counts.

No, cats that go after plants don't tend to care what kind of plant it is - even fake ones! (I've had 9 cats over the course of my life, of those who went after plants this has always been the case. )

I'd say just about every other room.

Alternative solution: lock the cat in the bathroom and put the flowers wherever you want.

Or put the damn cat outside. I love my pets to pieces but I don't let them dictate my life.

My cats eat flowers as well... I feel your pain, OP! It was the thought that counted, though c: I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

#14. Mine too. Even FAKE flowers.

Trying to get my orange tabby to stop chewing on fake plants is a daily chore. It's like gum or something to her.
