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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Would a rose in any other room smell as sweet?

Punch the cat in the face when it tries to eat the flowers

Oh and you might change her diet. Seems like she might be missing something she feels she needs.

Hey your fault for having a cat

Get some cat grass. Cats love it and it might save your other plants from being eaten.

#51 & #53: A catnip plant is also a great way to keep your cat entertained. And yes, it sounds like you have a wonderful son. Also, your FML is not the worst situation I've seen on this site/app.

Ok on your follow up you state your son has adhd? Why does this have ay significance on the FML. I don't understand. My daughter has it but I don't state it before I say anything about her. It doesn't define her. Your son did a nice thing for you why should it matter that he has adhd?

I was wondering the same thing. I have severe ADHD but neither I nor my parents have ever felt the need to validate something I did with that.

My father and sister have it. The only time I say it is when teachers bring up me possibly also having it.

I was wondering that too. I have ADHD and so does my son. It was irrelevant to the story IMHO.

Maybe op wanted to confuse people.

Either I am blind or OP removed the follow up.

Nope, you are right. OP did remove the follow up. I was thinking maybe I was just crazy and couldn't find it.
