Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML

Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML

Today, I told my mom I wasn't doing very good mentally and I was looking for some support. She decided to remind me of all of the things I still haven't paid her back for. I'm now an unpaid loan, not her daughter. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML

Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML

Today, my sister attempted to get me to fund her daughter, my godchild's, birthday party. I told her I would give her 200 (which isn't much). Our mom "intervened" by cussing me out for being a cheap ass piece of shit. I was about to give her $200, which is A LOT in our currency when exchanged. FML

Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML

Today, for my birthday, my mom presented me with a $4,000 check to pay for my braces. I've been very self-conscious about my teeth for years. Everyone applauded and told me how happy they were for me. Later, my mom asked me for the check back. Apparently it was just meant to make her look good. FML

Miserable parenting style

Today, my mom was going to take me shopping to buy a gift for my dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, I missed a spot while cleaning the kitchen. Now my mom is “embarrassed to be seen with me in public” and will buy my dad nothing, and tell him it’s because I don’t love him. FML

Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML

Wtf. Your brother`s a douche for either keeping the money or not giving you credit as well. And your mom`s a bitch for saying that.

Wow, there are quite a few things wrong. Your father didn't give you credit, your mother demanding a gift...wtf? When I get my mom a gift, she complains sometimes that I shouldn't have gotten her anything, it's too nice, etc. If I was to forget? She;d live. You're not a bad daughter and she's a bitch. Grr.

your mom is a **** for thinking she deserves gifts from you for her being married for another year. maybe its because im in college and have a shitty job, or because my parents aren't idiots, but they told me not to get them anything over 15 bucks for a long time. tell your mom that she is a bitch, and you apparently are ok with spending a fuckton of money buying her things for unnecessary events.

I think it's silly to get people gifts for their anniversaries. An anniversary is supposed to be an intimate event for two people, not something you drag your family and friends into.

i agree with #46 that makes perfect sense people just love any excuse to get some free shit... when she gets her gift both you and your brother invested in and she says thank you just ruin the moment by saying your a bad mother...

Was this a milestone anniversary (like a 25th, 50th, etc)? Because, honestly, your Mom sounds like kind of a twat regardless of whether or not you chipped in for a gift. I'd throw it in her face that yes, you did throw in $400 and then tell that hag to **** off!

Wow, your mom is an asshole. Why in the hell should you have to buy your parents a gift for their anniversary? I've never heard of such a thing. We never give our parents anniversary gifts, they don't even give each other anniversary gifts. What did you have to do with their marriage?

If you wrote a check, show your parents the proof from your bank account. That blows!!

tell her then! i'm sure she'll feel like shit for saying that. also, you should get your parents divorced so they'll stop having expensive anniversaries.

Wow! Seems like your whole family are extremely rude! Your mother called you a bad daughter for not getting her an anniversay persent? Wow.. I have never gotten my parents an anniversay present & they don't mind at all! Really it's their anniversary where they give each other presents, not where they get them from others! I dread to think what your mother would say if you forgot her birthday! & She obviously got a very lavish gift if you paid $400 towards it & your brother paid a similar amount! She's so ungrateful!! & your brother should've given you credit, especially seeing as you spent so much money! I'd be livid if I got no credit after that!
