Today, my daughter's school called to inform me that I needed to bring her some sneakers. Not feeling like driving the 15 minutes to her school, I told them I was away from town. Then I realized I was on my house phone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, since I'm still recovering from my surgery and can't drive, my daughter drove me to the doctor. When I was done and walked outside, she was nowhere to be seen. Then I got a text, saying, "Sorry, I forgot I have to be somewhere." The closest bus stop to our house is miles away. FML
Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML
Today, I got a call from my kid’s school, saying my daughter had a minor accident on the playground. When they asked her who to call, she'd said, "My mom’s probably in a meeting. Call the pizza place, they always pick up." FML
Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML
Today, I went to work 300 miles away from where I live. I couldn't find my customer's address, so I decided to call him. I'd picked up my wireless house phone instead of my mobile. FML
Today, I made the long drive to work, got out of the car, and realised that I'd forgotten to put shoes on before I left the house. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my daughter asked me if I could have the kids overnight, even though I’d babysat all day, all because she just got home and was too tired to make the drive to pick them up. She only lives two minutes away. I can see her house from my bathroom window. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"I lied, just because I am lazy, but I couldn't even do it right." Oh yeah, obviously your life is terrible.

lazy? **** yes. "worst mother of the year"? no. the worst mother of the year is the bitch who whored out her 5 year old child then allowed a man to kidnap and kill her. stop being overdramatic. also, mercy is right. "sneakers" instead of "shoes" implies gym class necessity. she's also right that if the child isn't in elementary school, then she's responsible for her own shit and needs to learn an important lesson about being prepared.

For those who didn't go to a school where you wear uniforms: I'm guessing the shoes were for gym class, not because she was barefoot. I went to Catholic school and once in a while I would forget my shoes for track or whatever and it just meant sitting around for that one period. You think it's worth a parent driving in so that their kid doesn't miss a day of running around on the playground? Tell the kid to read a book.

15 minutes is a very short drive, really. If the school was an hour away, perhaps I could understand. But 15 minutes? Really? What were you doing that was so important? It would take just 30 minutes of your time in total. Stop posting stuff on FML all day and go help your kid out. parenting fail

also: a) all of you little snots saying she shouldn't have children? have some of your own first before you judge. i guaran-*******-tee you'll **** up when it comes to your children at LEAST once. and yes, that includes being lazy. b) being willing to die for your child and not wanting to drive shoes to school for a (most likely) non-emergency situation are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. get off your ******* high horse.

You can't really whine that "I decided to be a lazy parent today and now someone at my daughter's school knows it." I don't see what you're even complaining about, tbh. If this is an FML for anyone, it's your daughter (even though I know that shoes aren't the most important thing in the world, if she needed them for PE it will affect her grade, which could upset her). Since when is "I don't feel like it" a valid excuse to not help your own child? Especially when it's something as simple as driving for a whole 15 minutes? You could at least pretend like you care. Unless she does things like this every day, you should help her out if you can, regardless of whether you feel like it.

Way to go on showing your daughter that you care

Holy crap, I hate what our society has become. All of you bitching about how the poster is a lazy ***** who never should have had children need to get the hell over yourselves. Is this really what America has become? It's a damn pair of sneakers. So the kid has to sit out for one period of gym. Yeah, that's a full-blown tragedy right there. Definitely need to call CPS on that one. It's not like the mother beats her child or anything like that, you ignorant asses. Get a life.
