Today, I returned from a half-month long trip to China with a group of friends. After throwing myself into my mother's arms and bursting into tears, she stops me to say 'Listen...these last couple of weeks have been some of the best I've ever had. Can we try to keep it like that?' FML

Today, while making New Year's resolutions, I realized that I haven't hung out with anybody other than my family in over two years and I started crying. When my mom came in and I explained why I was crying, she replied, "Well that sucks. I'm off to have lunch with some friends. See you later!" FML

Today, my mother was talking about a holiday she went on this time last year. She turned to me to say, "You would've loved it, it's a shame you couldn't come". I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday together. FML

Today, after almost nine months of doing anything and everything to show my love for my girlfriend and make her happy, she told me she would give "anything" to relive the one week of her and her ex's relationship where she was the happiest in her life. FML

Today, my wife, who I haven’t seen for over a month because we both travel a lot for work, got home. The last thing she said to me was that she couldn't wait to get home because she just wants some alone time. FML

Today, I told my mom about how my friend is going to China for a year instead of college. My mom suggested that I could do the same. When I told her that a trip to China is probably more expensive than my college tuition, my mom replied, "Not for a one way ticket". FML

Today, I was at church with some friends and our counselor, who had recently came back from Taiwan. I was born there and love to visit, so I immediately exclaimed, "How lucky!" A few seconds of awkward silence later, he said, "I was visiting my dad who was just diagnosed with cancer." FML

Today, I told my best friend that there was a time that I loved her, then told her it was today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, and listed several years before that, etc. Her response? "Wow, I can't believe we've known each other that long." FML

Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be all alone in this big house." FML

Today, after two months of being apart from my wife of five years, who'd returned to Panama to deal with a family issue, she innocently slips into conversation that she’s been hanging out with her high school boyfriend. When challenged, she responded, “You get to see me all the time!” FML

I get that you missed your mom --- and that's natural! But full-on sobbing and throwing yourself into her arms IS a bit much... It just sounds like you might be a BIT overly dependent and clingy towards her. That makes it understandable that she might like a nice break from tending to you every now and again... Her phrasing could have been a tad less harsh though, I suppose. Also: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4915/futuramawr6.gif

half-month? Are you trying to hide the fact that you cried after two weeks away from your mom? Grow up.

I agree with #8. Girls cry. It's not a gender assumption it's true. It's because of all the estrogen in our bodies; it makes us emotional. And you never know, she could have never been away from home before and missed her mom. She wasn't use to her mom not being there.

Okay, I went to Australia for 2 weeks a couple of years ago, and I definitely missed my mom. I had a great time, but coming home and seeing my family felt really good. Two weeks gets really long, too, you just want to be at home. She just missed her mother, and got emotional in the moment most likely. Your mother needs to be smacked. What a bitch.

I can relate! In fifth grade, I spent almost a month away from home. I'd been home a day or two and my mom looked me in the face and said, "It was SO peaceful when you were gone!"

Maybe your mom enjoyed 2 weeks without having to hold your dick for you while you pee.

Seriously, people should not mock the OP for crying. As a girl who cries easily--even when I'm not really that upset, even when I'm trying my hardest not to--I know that it's an involuntary physical reaction and not a reason to make fun of someone. Not to mention that it was a completely acceptable thing to do under the circumstances. What's wrong with being homesick? Loving your family and wanting to be near them doesn't make you a bad person.

Crying in public because of a non-reason on the other hand does. And get some more will strenght, will you? People like you are annoying for everyone.
