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, 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 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

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, 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, 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 called the florist and ordered a flower arrangement for my grandma, who I was told was sick. I said I didn't know what to get her, so just to send her something nice. I got a call from my mom calling me an inconsiderate bastard. They sent my grandma forget-me-nots. She has Alzheimer's. FML

Today, I woke up really early before my mom so I could make pancakes for Mother's Day. I placed everything on a tray and even picked a flower, had a card for her and took it to her bedroom. She said, "You shouldn't have, pancakes are fattening." She took one bite and fed the rest to the dogs. 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, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML

Go get them from the doorstep and give them to somebody who will actually appreciate them.

You should "arrange" to get them delivered to a retirement home where they will be appreciated

I'm sure she'd like to have dead flowers on her doorstep. She'll have to open the door eventually.

That's a lot of money for flowers. I guess the dogs mean more to her. Don't waste your money on her for other occasions. Instead just send her a greeting card.

Sounds like Mom gets flowers a little too often. Stop sending them to her. When she starts to whine that nobody ever sends her any, remind her about her last gift and tell her you didn't think she really liked them.

Then maybe she should train her dogs to not act like hooligans when someone opens the front door. And maybe you should give the flowers to someone who appreciates them more. I hope your mother isn't always like that OP.

"Be happy and thank me. I spent 120 dollars on them you ungrateful bitch" No, no don't say that but do tell her how much you spent on them.

In my opinion it shouldn't matter how much was spent. But the fact that mom didn't even care enough to bring them inside is what makes her ungrateful.
