Family and Argument: Stuck in the middle with you

Stuck in the middle with you

By dadlife - 08/06/2021 04:01

Today, I heard my wife and daughter arguing. My wife took away my daughter's phone and laptop for being disrespectful. My daughter screamed, calling her mom a fat cow. My wife simply said, "Yeah, well you’re gonna look exactly like me when you grow up!" Now they’re both locked in rooms, crying. FML

Today, my wife and teen daughter are at the point where their monthly cycles have synced, so when I got home and heard them screaming at each other, I quietly closed the door so they couldn’t hear me, and like a coward I hid in my car until the screaming stopped. FML

Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML

Today, my son spilled his milk at the table. My wife got in his face and screamed that he took her body, her career, her friends, and her life from her, then stormed out of the house. He won't stop wailing and crying, she won't answer her phone, and I'm completely shattered. FML

Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML

Today, I got into an argument with my mother, when she snapped and called me a son of a bitch. I said that made no sense, because I'm a girl, and it'd only really confirm that she's a bitch. She then grounded me for insulting her. FML

Today, I had an argument with my wife. I told her to get back in the kitchen. How does she respond? By doing what I told her to do, and returning to hit me with a frying pan. FML

Co-parenting

Today, I confiscated my daughter’s tablet, phone and laptop after I caught her exchanging nudes with boys. My ex then called me in a rage, threatening to take me to court over “stealing his belongings” since he purchased them. No concern for our daughter’s behavior, just him wanting the stuff. FML

Today, I got home to my son with a bruised face and my daughter locked in her room. Apparently, when she got home from work, her unemployed brother asked her when she was going to cook dinner, so she punched him in the head. He’s so entitled that he actually thought he’d get sympathy from me. FML

Today, I came home crying and informed my mother that someone had called me a 'fat bitch' today. She held me at arms length, looked me straight in the eyes, and lovingly said, "You can't change who you are." FML

you really need to back up your wife and definitely have a talk with your daughter snout respect. otherwise she will just get worse. good luck. p.s. maybe go out and get your wife a single rose and tell her you love her and think she's beautiful.

the wife might like that. depending on how old the daughter is, it is either punishment or creepy.

Yeah unless the daughter wasn't in the wrong. There ARE nasty, toxic, and hateful mothers out there. And they usually tend to take things from their children to exact dominance instead of sitting down and figuring out a solution to the situation like a level-headed adult. We don't know how this argument started but it's obvious NEITHER of them are acting mature.

since both of them are in their rooms crying it doesn't seem like it's something that happens often.

LMAOOO this is so adorably pathetic. Did you put them on time-out or something? 😂 What's next? Are you gonna reprimand both of them and withhold their allowance? Spank them? This is cute.

This is the first time I've heard an FML that doesn't include the poster at all and yet it still is a FML. Because two people you love had such a fit and you literally can't do anything about it.
