Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML

Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML

Today, my grocery shopping consisted of Poptarts, SpaghettiOs, Lucky Charms, Popsicles, Easy Mac, and Twinkies. I'm a 25-year-old woman with no kids. FML

The long con

Today, I had expired soda and stale chips for my dinner. Why? Because my mother spent all our grocery money on organic food for her chihuahua. FML

Today, my mom went to the store. She said she was feeling generous, and had gotten everyone a little treat. My brothers each got candy and a movie. I got acne medication. FML

Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML

Today, to keep me from "getting fatter", my roommate raided the kitchen. She ate everything from cookies and ice cream to deli meat. The only thing left in the house are vegetables. FML

Today, my mother brought home dinner for 4 people. I was not one of those people. The dog, however, was. FML

Today, my fiancee asked me to text her a grocery list. I asked for meat, fruit, vegetables, you know, the staples. She came back with tons of sugar cereal, pop tarts, cookie dough, and other unhealthy crap. We have no other food, our monthly budget is gone, and junk food gives me horrible stomach cramps. FML

Uncomfortable

Today, while many women have a wardrobe full of nothing-to-wear, my mom has a fridge full of nothing-to-eat and a living room full of nowhere-to-sit. FML

That happened to me and my brother when my parents divorced, because my dad doesn't know how to shop. :/ And guys, stop telling them to buy their own food, they're probably too young to have a job and go shopping.

someone who is too young to sweep a driveway or rake leaves is too young to post an FML.

Im sixteen and have been looking for a job since i got my national insurance number 8 months ago (in England you cant work until you have your number unless its paper round which is not available in my area. ) And on top of that there is a limit to how much Im allowed to work per wewk due to my age so although i had 5 interviews, they wouldnt hire me because Ill be going to college (16-18 year olds in england, just before uni) therefore unable to do the hpurs they want me to. Finding a job can be much harder than it was for you. Or impossible if your 16th birthday is more than 3 months away (nat ins num gets given to you 3 months prior to you turning 16.
