Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML
Today, the only card I got for Valentine's Day was in my mother's handwriting, and she posted it through the front door herself. She still won't admit it's from her. 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 got an early Valentine's day card. My boyfriend and I recently broke up, and my hopes shot up thinking it might be from him. It wasn't. It was from my parents. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas. I thought it was sweet until I noticed the heart drawn on the back. It's the same box of chocolates I gave him for Christmas. Christmas last year. 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, my college roomate and I received our first pieces of mail. We were very excited because our mailbox wasn't empty anymore. She got a package of home baked cookies in the mail from her family. I got a letter from a stranger in prison. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. At work, at my desk, I found this beautiful gift-wrapped box and a card that read, “From all of us, we really care about you, and hope you like your present!” I opened the box. It had body shower gel, deodorant, soap, fragrance spray, and “frizz shampoo.” Hint taken. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Aww! OP, that's actually very sweet. Nothing to be embarrassed about

You should be grateful. If she was the first one to get/make you a gift for Valentines Day at your age, you should rethink your life choices and not complain about her showing that she love and cares about her son. Now sit down, call your mom, thank her, and eat the damn cookies.

I think you should be a bit more grateful. She's your mother. If my mother did this for me, even if I was 39, I would call her and thank her. She's thinking of you at least. There's nothing wrong with parents giving their children small gifts like this, no matter how old that child may be.

YDI- Because you have a mom that still cares and loves you, who took time out of her life to to make you something like cookies. In all honesty, I'd say FYL if you got nothing. Never take your parents love for you for granted. It's not always going to be around.

Was wicked hard to vote on this. Your mums getting you cookies. That's ******* awesome so I can't say your life sucks. But you're bitching about it so you clearly don't deserve cookies from your awesome mum.

You sound ungrateful. I'd be happy if my m ok Momma sent me cookies, means she loves you and is thinking of you. Doesn't matter if you are 39 or 89 be thankful
