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

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

What a bitch thing to do, but clever.

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.

Lmao that's funny. And number 17 maby you and the op should just get a sense of humour.

seriously.. i doubt her mom did that to be a bitch. its funny. it sounds like #17 has some mommy and daddy issues if a stupid little joke bothers him that much.

Not really. That kind of stunt simply strikes me as a ******** move.

at least she was thinking of you! :p

You deserve it for not already having said dishwasher.

Not really an FML, since kids in third world countries have nothing. Be grateful you have a roof over your head.

Dude that makes no sense...Who cares about 3rd worldcountries.We aren't in them because we are more civilized.

Yeeeaaah, you could say that about pretty much every FML. "Bad" is relative, you know… we live in the developed world and we're very fortunate, but it's not like things never suck just because of that. I try to judge on how mean things are based on the person's reaction and not the thing itself. It seems to me that OP was actually bothered by this (instead of just being mildly annoyed) and I think it's douchey that OP's parents would do that to them knowing that this would probably be the reaction. So I'd say FYL to the OP.

33, true, but is she in a third world country? No. And she had to pay her mom back.
