Animals: Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest...

By KitKat270 - 28/05/2009 01:40 - Canada

Today, my mom informed me that she wouldn't be joining the rest of the girls in the limo ride to the church for my wedding ceremony because she wants to have her car with her. Why? Because she is planning to leave my wedding reception half way through to go home and take her dog out to pee. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I got a phone call saying I was no longer a bridesmaid for a wedding in June. It's my mom's 4th wedding. I'm getting replaced by our dog. FML

Priorities

By Anonymous - 20/03/2016 15:58 - Germany - Berlin

Today, my father-in-law left my wedding reception because he had to feed the dog. This would have been alright, if he hadn't been absent for nearly two hours. Apparently, just feeding the dog and leaving would have hurt the animal's feelings so he stayed to play with him for a while. FML

Today, my mother-in-law "borrowed" my dog without asking, to show him off to her friends. My dog is my service animal, and I'm not comfortable leaving the house without him. I have to be at work in an hour, and she's not picking up her phone. FML

Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML

The doggo of our discontent

By doggone shame - 25/01/2023 08:00

Today, my wife is refusing to go on our honeymoon because the resort we chose won’t allow pets. She’s now angry with me for not checking before we booked the place, and is threatening divorce if I go without her. I told her we could just get a dog sitter, but she refuses. Oh well. FML

Insane

By moving out first chance I get! - 03/03/2023 18:00

Today, my insane mother struck again. She refused to drive me to my doctor’s appointment for my asthma because the office won’t let her bring her precious doggo inside and it’s too cold to sit in the car with it. No, she won’t leave it at home like a normal person, and no it’s not a service dog. FML

Manage this

By fuck this company - 14/06/2021 07:01 - United States

Today, the same manager who wrote me up for missing work when my mom had had a stroke, thought it was perfectly acceptable to announce she was leaving work 6 hours early to take her dogs to the groomers. Apparently, that appointment was more urgent than me riding in an ambulance with my mother. FML

Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I didn't attend her dog's funeral, and was therefore an insensitive bastard. I couldn't attend because my mum has cancer and I was driving her to a hospital appointment. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

#2 I'd think that her daughter's wedding is more important than this. If the dog is so important, she should have made plans for someone else to watch the dog that day so she could be there the whole time to support her daughter.

I agree with #13. What's the big deal? Jesus she's not SKIPPING the whole freaking wedding here, there is nothing wrong with going home real quick to let the dog out so he/she doesn't pee all over the house. OP you might need to be less of a Bridezilla.

You say your Mum may miss the cake cutting, speeches etc.... Can't you make sure they don't happen until she is back. You don't have to have "at 2:30 this will happen and at 5:00 this will happen" make things happen around other things, if you want everything planned down to the last letter it isn't going to work that way, even if you Mum didn't leave something would mess it up. Like in the rest of life.... some mothers plan their births this way "my baby is due on this date I will have this room in the hospital" etc and they end up giving birth 3 weeks early in the back of an ambulance instead.... Life is always going to throw you things to mess up your plan you've just got to learn to work round them

That is retarded. She doesn't have any neighbors or friends who can let the dog out for her? I understand not leaving the dog in the house for hours on end, but surely there is some you could count on.

I hope the groom doesnt have to take a shit during the reception. God forbid he isn't around for 10 mins.

I totally agree with #2 and the others who say it's not a big deal. The dog has to go pee, what else is she supposed to do? It's not like she's skipping the entire wedding, she'll miss twenty minutes of the reception! Big freakin' deal! OP needs to grow up.

god it seems like every other FML on this site has something to do with parents caring more about dogs than their children... ******* dogs.

Well if the daughter is going to act this way then who can blame the Mom for liking the dog more.

Yeah, 20-30 years from now your mother's going to be on here complaining that you didn't visit her in the nursing home on Mother's Day because you had some bullshit excuse. Oh well, karma.
