Today, for my birthday, my mom presented me with a $4,000 check to pay for my braces. I've been very self-conscious about my teeth for years. Everyone applauded and told me how happy they were for me. Later, my mom asked me for the check back. Apparently it was just meant to make her look good. FML

Today, was my mom's birthday. I recently got my first job, thanks to her, and could finally afford to buy her something nice. I spent my first paycheck ever on buying her a very nice bracelet. She said it was nice, then asked if I would mind if she exchanged it for one she actually liked. FML

Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML

Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML

Today, I heard a little girl saying how much she didnt want braces to her mom because they hurt and make people look ugly. I looked at her and said, "Aww, there not that bad. See, I have them!" I then smiled to show her. She turned to her mom and said, "See!" then started to cry. 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, for my mom's 50th birthday, all she wanted was a certain gold bracelet. It was too much money for me to buy, so I bought the same one in silver. Right before I gave it to her, my older sister gave her the gold bracelet, which made her cry. When I gave her my present, she just said, "Oh." FML

Today, after years of waiting, my mom and I finally received a check from Child Support Services. Excited, I opened it up to find a check from my dad, written out for 45 cents. Which pays for maybe half a loaf of bread. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My grandma gave me a hug and a check after wishing me a happy birthday and walked away giggling. I was excited because it was the only gift I had gotten all day. Ten minutes later, I realized that it was actually just my tax refund. FML

Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML

what a bitch, who is so self-absorbed that they would crush their kid in order to look good to others. I feel for you.

You should bite her neck off with your snaggletooth(s).

I would get her alone, knock her out and tie her to a recliner chair. As she wakes up, she'll find herself ducktaped to the chair, unable to move with her mouth shoved open with a pair of pliers or whatever. As she looks up at you in horror, you look down at her with another pair of pliers and say "You know...I've always wanted to be a dentist..." and you pull out her front tooth. As she screams in horror with blood pouring out, you drop the tooth in a cup of acid so it totally dissolves. After you pull her last tooth out, you set the check on fire and drop it into her open mouth. Then you walk out the door as the song Big Pimpin' plays in the background.

Well, I guess for her birthday, you do something along the same lines. Maybe a picture of a wide screen tv you have ordered for her but hasn't arrived yet so you put the picture in her birthday card. Paybacks a bitch. In the meantime, if anyone asks why you haven't gotten your teeth done yet, tell them the check bounced.

I sure hope you didn't give it back. I would take it and pay for the braces anyway. And I agree with #110's suggestion. You have my sympathies. Your mom is a bitch.
