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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

yes but even the most responsible of people forget things. Surely you've forgotten things now and again.

Wow what a crappy parent. Why would you not get up and take your kid some shoes?

Gah, I LOL'd. If work tried to call me in from my house phone I'd end up doing something like this. Damn, I hate being called in..

Yes, if YOUR WORK called in, but not if your kid needed something at school, right?

If I was in OP's situation, yes, I would have brought my child whatever she/he needed in a heartbeat. But I decided to view the FML a little differently. Getting all worked up over this like some others is useless.

what a selfish asshole you are. I hope the person calling from the school called you out on it. I feel sorry for your daughter. You deserve what you get in life!

Gym shoes aren't an emergency or the kid being sick... You deserve to have CPS called on you over something equally ridiculous if you think it would be acceptable to report someone over a complete non-issue like this.

Um wow..bad parenting much? It's not like it was a 50 or 5 1/2 hour drive..it was only 15 minutes. YDI and I feel bad for your Daughter, who knows why she needed a pair of sneakers, just that she was probably pretty embarrassed that her parent wouldn't even bring her a new pair..
