Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML

Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML

Today, I had to go along with my mom to meet some of her old friends from high school. When they asked her about how her life was going, she said she was married, always traveling, no kids, and introduced me as the neighbor's kid she babysits. FML

Today, I was talking with my mother and expressed my slight disappointment at how many of my friends are getting into relationships, whereas I'm still single. My mother decided to encourage me by saying "Don't worry, sweetie. There are boys out there who don't go for looks. You'll be fine". FML

that happened to a guy at my church. he got a girlfriend a few weeks later, so maybe it isn't such a bad thing.

At least she cares. And at #1, I know, I hate those holier-than-thou sweet old biddies who never have anything bad to say about anyone and hope for nice things to happen to starngers, just out of the goodness of their hearts. Who do they think they are?

Um, that's kind of embarassing, but not really a good FML. get out and meet more people, maybe you will meet someone special that way!

If you are under 12 the church seems to have plenty of candidates. Also: Dinosaurs and earth creation.

Today, my wife upset herself by ringing my best friend to see if he would lie about where I was, and he did. Now my wife thinks I get my friends to lie for me to cover up my cheating. I’ve never once cheated. This feels like the next level up from cheating on her in her dreams, because she's crazy. FML
