Today, my mum called and told me she had bought me a new, white dish washer for my apartment because it doesn't have one. I was SO excited and told her I'd pay her back as soon as I could. I only had to pay her $1.25. She bought me a sponge. FML

Same thing different taste

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Today, I did the dishes to make my parents happy, even though it's my brother's chore. My mom's fancy new Yeti cup was among the dirty dishes, which also has a Bluetooth speaker on the bottom. I didn't know this, and now the Bluetooth speaker is now ruined, mom and dad are furious, and I apparently have to buy a new one. FML

Why is it that parents think it's so damn funny to trick their kids into thinking they bought them a large gift when they actually bought them something small? Doesn't sound like anything but a good way to get your kid to resent the hell out of you, if you ask me. And no, I'm not saying kids ought to expect any large gifts from their parents, but I still think it's entirely unnecessary to trick your child into thinking they're getting something they're not.

I agree. I'm glad my parents never did that to me. I mean i could see if she was kidding and really DID get her a dish washer and joked that she got a sponge. But just the sponge,that's so mean!

Huh? What's wrong with parents having a sense of humour? I agree they shouldn't do it with little kids, but the OP is surely old enough to appreciate a joke, isn't she? That's totally something my parents would do, and I love them for it! I think it's great that my parents will play jokes on me - I've put them through enough shit my whole life, they're allowed to pay me back in kind :P

LOL she didn't lie. It won't kill you to do dishes by hand. If you want a dishwasher so bad get off your butt and buy one.

#22, maybe you didn't see the part where she said she'd pay her mom back. Obviously, she doesn't have the money to buy a dishwasher at the moment.
