Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML

Today, after having watched a scare story on the news about heart disease, my mom is now insisting that we have daily, hour-long, family yoga sessions together. I have a job, and barely have enough time to do my homework as it is. I'm going to be grounded if I don't take part. FML

Today, I asked my mom if I could join my friends in getting lessons in self defense. My mom told me that I didn't need them because my face was a better weapon to repel anyone. FML

Today, at a family dinner, my mother-in-law talked me into showing off some moves that I've learned in martial arts. I gently did a restraining hold on her. She screamed that I was trying to break her wrists, and kept the wounded act up all night, smirking as everyone gave me death glares. FML

Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML

dude..... love your mom while you have her. she just wants to spend some time with you, be grateful. a lot of us have parents who wanted nothing to do with them.

Yes, but it should be time spent doing something they both want to do. Also, not letting your child do anything if they don't do what you want first is abusive. If the mom wants to spend time with the kid, she could try to find another activity to do together and take karate lessons by herself or with someone who's interested too.

Life is not always fair, and there is nothing wrong with putting your children in SELF DEFENSE classes (an essential life skill). I highly doubt any activity that actually involves spending time with this childs parent is going to be accepted. And as for abuse..... being grounded for not listening is called CONSEQUENCE, not abuse. I'm so damn sick of everyone throwing that term around for just about anything!!!! Get real.

Be thankful her hobby isn’t amateur ****. Go spend time with your mom, she’s trying to bond with you

forcing someone to do what they don't want to do isn't how you "bond" it's how you force and breed animosity

Today, I asked out a girl I’ve been hanging out with for a few months. She said, “That’s kind of gross.” When I asked her about, it she said, “My friends will think you’re creepy” followed by, “You’re not actually a creep, they say you look like one.” I groom myself every day like a normal person.

Today, I brought my best friend home and told my dad we were going to study together. He loudly replied "Woah!", stumbled around for a few seconds like he was drunk, then apologized and said the "sheer amount of gayness" between us had overloaded his gaydar. We're not gay, dammit! FML

Today, I was at the Polish border when I found my passport was gone. I contacted the last place I stayed at and the owner said he would handle it. I reluctantly agreed as I was being charged international rates. Apparently, "taking care of it" means telling the embassy I'm retarded. FML

Today, there was a pollution peak in Paris. In the metro, I desperately attempted to validate my pass and was waiting for the green light.
