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.

Like others have said, she's not skipping the wedding, and her poor dog can't even attend your wedding :( You should be pretty busy at the reception assuring all the people of how happy you are that they attended.

oh my god. I love how many people have NO respect whatsoever for anyone else but themselves.. I can't believe all these commenters who are like, "oh my god, it's just a wedding!" No.. it IS a big deal. I can't wait til all you who said that shit find people who can stand you enough to WANT to marry your stupid asses. Then I hope something like this happens to you or your bride-to-be. THEN let's see how you act. Bitches. That ******* sucks, OP. Your mom's a douche. Don't let her come back. If she wants to be with her ******* dog instead of her DAUGHTER on her wedding day, she's not worth being called your mother. **** her.

At least she showed up in the first place. And acctually stayed there too. I wouldnt want my dog pissing or shiting anywhere in my house. I know mothers that completly skipped out on their wedding day. Be grateful that yours bothers to show up.

#45 "I love how many people have NO respect whatsoever for anyone else but themselves.." And that doesn't count for the bride who expects her mother to hold her hand the whole day? Give me a break, just let the woman go, she'll be back.

um, okay, she's gonna leave during your reception. between the service and the reception most wedding take all day long. if the dog's a puppy or even a young dog it can't hold it that long. shut the **** up and deal with it. it's not like she's leaving during the service. jesus.

Pet people are the worst. I feel sorry for people who are so desperate for “comfort" they need a useless animal in their lives.

What a selfish person you sound like. Your Mom was at the ceremony. Your Mom will be at the reception. For 20 minutes, she'll be running home to take care of her dog and be a responsible person. I can't believe that is a problem for you. I feel bad for your husband because you seem like you will be a lot of work. Very high maintenance. And to those who say that this is the most important day of the persons life... yada yada yada... I hope she puts in as much effort to the marriage than she is putting into one day. It seems that those that put so much value on one day are almost always divorced in no time.
