Kids: Unlucky

Unlucky

By Tim - 09/04/2009 21:44 - United States

Today, my mom had a baby shower. When it was over, I walked around cleaning up the trash. I saw a card sitting on the table, along with a note to my mom saying, "Better luck with this one." At the moment I'm an only child, and the card was from my grandmother. FML

Today, my mom dragged me along with her to a baby shower. I was the only guy there. FML

Today, I found the birthday card my grandma had mailed. Apparently, it contained a gift of $100. Too bad it was in my mom's trash can, opened, with no money. She told my grandma it must have gotten lost in the mail. FML

Get Out

Today, I came home to find that my mother had cleaned my room, and she'd done a very good job, too. So good in fact, that she even managed to remove all of the furniture, replacing it with a note that said, "It's time to go, sweetie XO". FML

Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML

Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML

Today, I was reduced to a blubbering mess at my baby shower. My mom bought tons of clothes, bibs, etc. Sounds nice right? Well, they all had sayings like "Daddy’s Little Princess" and "Daddy’s Girl." She knows full well my fiancé quit his job, changed his number, and disappeared without a trace 3 months ago. FML

Today, I thought my mother was coming into my room to give me lunch. She gave me cleaning supplies instead. FML

Today, the only card I got for Valentine's Day was in my mother's handwriting, and she posted it through the front door herself. She still won't admit it's from her. FML

So unfair

Today, my mom asked my siblings and me for help cleaning the kitchen. After working for a half hour while all my siblings sat on the couch, I pointed out that I was the only one working. My mom thanked my siblings for not having attitudes like mine and sent me to my room. 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

Perhaps she has had troubles having children between you and this one, and has just been to upset to talk about it to anyone but her mother.

Or maybe it was just entirely irrelevant, and you're thinking too hard. Or possibly your mother had trouble with your childbirth (a lot of pain, complications, whatever), and your grandma's wishing her luck with not having that happen again.

It's your own fault for being a screw up.

#15 and #21, maybe #10 really did mean conquer, and they regularly team up with #8 to invade and take over small villages and nations. It could happen. To the OP, I think the previous posts suggesting difficulty with your own birth or perhaps miscarriages are more likely than your grandmother thinking you're a failure and hoping the next kid's better.

Okay, seriously, grandmas aren't bitches. Anybody ever think that maybe mommy dearest had a problem delivering you? Or maybe she had problems getting pregnant or maybe even miscarriages?

Maybe you suck at life. Hey, might as well be blunt instead of trying to cover up for his grandma! :]

As a mom I can say that no mother (or grandmother) is gonna bitch about a kid who cleans up after his/her moms baby shower. Might seem like no big deal but a LOT of kids are monsters... It is probably about something that has nothing to do with you.

Yeah, I agree with everyone else. This doesn't mean you're a bad kid... maybe you were a difficult labor, or maybe she's miscarried several times and didn't tell you.
