Health: Today, after staying in bed all day for a week from sickness,...

Today, after staying in bed all day for a week from sickness, I get up to tell my mom I have terrible back pain and feel extremely dizzy. After curling up on the chair next to her, not being able to keep my head up for too long, she simply stares at me and says, "Can I finish my dinner now?" FML

Same thing different taste

Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Such a Saint

Today, I'm on bed rest after a major surgery. I can walk to the bathroom but can barely raise my hands. At the hospital, my mom gave this dramatic speech of being there whenever I needed her. When I asked her to come make me breakfast, she didn’t show up til noon then complained I was in a bad mood. FML

Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML

Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML

Crockery story

Today, I woke up and headed downstairs ready to do the dishes, when my mom hissed at me to, “go do the dishes!” As I was washing them, my mom stood over me the whole time. She eventually said, “You know, it’s pretty fucking sad that I still have to tell you to do these things.” FML

Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML

Mom of the year

Today, I told my mom that I'd vomited blood. She simply said, “Good” and went back to watching TV. FML

Today, I wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. FML

Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML

My family blows

By Anonymous - 07/06/2024 16:00 - United States - Colorado Springs

Today, I'm incredibly sick. I can't breathe, can't walk ten steps without falling, and no one believes me. My mom just sat next to me and said, "Honey, isn't this all a bit much? Quit being dramatic, because I can't believe this." When I asked why I would fake this, my sister yelled, "Guess you can't go shopping!" I'd want to. FML

:( Normally I'm a bitch in the comments, but I can't be right now. That sounds like something my mom would do. I'm sorry and I hope you feel better!

Sorry you feel puny. Maybe you can find some over the counter medication to help your symptoms. Give mom a break, she's had to deal with you all week too. After you feel better, do something nice for her.

Lolol 6# epic. Lol. Anyways. Op I feel sorry for you. I can understand if your mom had to help you all week so yes she's gonna be tired. She could at least had consideration instead of being rude and worrying about her own blood instead of complaining about her food. Big damn deal that'd what microwave are for

did you want her to coddle you some more? I mean she doesn't have magic healing powers... And if she had started dinner, you were potentially causing her to burn it.. Ydi

You're that sick and you think there's nothing wrong with curling up next to someone while they're eating dinner? YDI. Of course your back hurts and you feel dizzy. You've been in bed for a week. What do you expect?

#23, I agree with #1. And what about the thought that her mom maybe just asked permission to continue eating while discussing OP's illness? My boyfriend would react the same way and I'd say SURE! OP, quit whining, you're sick for about a week now so let your mom enjoy her meal instead of trying to keep the fully attention.

if you're really sick you wouldn't have been on fml and she probably cares since she let you take a week of school off which I'm assuming you go to since you live with your mom
