Today, I went to a family reunion with my brother and my mother. She spent quite a while giving a glowing introduction for my brother to one of her cousins. Then, just before walking off, she jerked a thumb in my direction and said, "Oh, yeah, and that's his sister." FML

Today, my brother had his fiancée over to meet the whole family. We were having a great time with her, and my mother gushed to her that she was like the daughter she never had. I'm her daughter. FML

Today, our family reunion began with my sister calling my brother's current crazy girlfriend by his last crazy girlfriend's name and ended with my dad telling my adopted niece that he wanted a family picture without her in it, but she could be in the next one. FML

Today, while at my boyfriend's cousin's birthday party, I was hanging around with his sister as I didn't know anyone. She was talking to some friends when one of them asked her, "So, is your brother still going out with that crazy chick?" Her answer was to introduce me. FML

Today, I showed up at my brother's house for a visit. Little did I know, there was a family gathering. My best friend was invited and I wasn't. She's "more fun and less awkward" than I am. FML

Quality family time

Today, my family and I were visiting an aunt. While helping my aunt to set the table, my sister remarked that from behind I look exactly like her. I reflexively blurted out, "Well fuck you too." Very awkward silence. FML

Today, I was talking to my sister-in-law on the phone. She brought up the family reunion last weekend and how my family is so strange. I didn't know there was a reunion, I wasn't invited. FML

Today, my step-brother said to me, "If we weren't related I would fuck you so hard." Mom says I should "be grateful for such a nice compliment." FML

Today, I walked over to join a group of friends and heard them talking about how hot some guy was but how ugly his sister was. I asked who they were talking about and there was an awkward silence, they hadn't realized I was there. Apparently, they were talking about my brother. FML

Today, I was meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time. The minute I stepped in the door his mother hit me in the face and kicked me out because I was "the slut her husband cheated on her with." My older sister and I look much alike. Too much alike. FML

Today, I reunited with my mother and my sisters after a long time. I actually walked out of the reunion, too, after I drove 800 km away, only to find out that they're fighting over my late father's inheritance. I had vanished from my family because they were always possessive and crawling up my ass every time. FML

meh, who gives a shit what your parents think of you, just try to make yourself be happy and proud of your own achievements even if they're not up to someone else's standards!!

At this point just go around introducing yourself, you don't need to be paraded around like that if your mum won't even give you a proper mention

Be proud of yourself and your accomplishments OP! Don't let anybody else's opinion affect you.

She sounds like a massive **** who doesn't believe in the glorious person that I bet you are, just ignore her. Believe in yourself and achieve big :)

What my brother has done is stay right in the old home town and work in the family business. I married and moved about an hour and a half away, started a successful business, have won lots of awards for volunteer work, art, writing, etc. I am the only daughter and have three brothers.

It doesn't matter what she thinks of you as long as you're happy with yourself, you don't need anyone's approval for that .. Be yourself , love yourself and be happy (don't worry about it (;

Sounds like my mother. She boasts about my brother all the time even though he's 27 years old with no job and still lives with my parents. Meanwhile, I'm 23 with a job that provides a pretty respectable income, married to a man who has a degree in digital arts and makes more than I do, and we are in the process of buying a house. But I guess all of that doesn't hold a candle to completing every possible achievement on GTA V.

My point is though, I feel your pain, and don't let your mom's treatment of you get you down. She'll someday realize that she has an amazing daughter. :)
