Kids: Bad mom

Bad mom

By Anonymous - 10/12/2009 14:34 - United States

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

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 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

Mother of the year

By Anonymous - 13/02/2024 21:00 - United Kingdom

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

Running late

By albert - 13/05/2009 12:36 - United Kingdom

Today, we were running late for school so my mum shouted at me to hurry up and get in the car. I put my school bags in the boot of the car and my mum drove off. It wasn't until she got to my school and told me to get out that she realised I wasn't there. FML

Today, my wife suddenly texted me to meet her halfway beetween our house and the supermarket. I immediately put my shoes on and started walking eager to get to her as fast as I could to surprise her. Turns out she was carrying three heavy bags and yelled at me for being slow and by foot. FML

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

People are way too spazzy. I bet she just needed gym shoes. Oh no.

I highly doubt it. Schools don't normally allow students to call home unless it's an emergency. In most schools, if you forget your shoes for gym, you get in trouble and have to sit out. You don't get to call your parents and wait half of the class period for your shoes to be brought to you. Based on that information, I would have to say that the OP's kid had broken their shoes or something. In my school we don't have any "extra" shoes to hand out, so they probably don't either.

One of the guys in my school broke his shoes and put tape on them and wore them for another week. He didn't call his mummy to bring him new shoes...

Hey you dumb **** see that word in parentheses? It says woman, that means it's a girl and by my calculations that makes her the mom. Wow your about as dumb as the OP.

I feel for your child. My mother would have crawled on all fours to bring us stuff if we needed it. Now your daughter knows she isn't important enough for you to drive 15 minutes. SHAME!!

this is really not that big a deal. if something happened to the daughter's shoes, the school could give her something from the lost and found or something. they generally have spare clothes on standby for accidents. if she just forgot gym shoes or something, she can learn not to for next time.

I would not be okay with my daughter wearing something from 'lost-n-found' all day, when I could have brought her some shoes. That's so embarrassing for a kid.

I don't think parents were ever called in to my schools over shoes. My primary school had spare shoes to loan out if you forgot and secondary school if you forgot more than once you got detention as it's your own responisbility by then, being over age 11. Does seem weird to call Mum in over shoes but you still shouldn't have lied just because you were too lazy to drive for 30 mins.

you are so ****** stupid and selfish. stupid for not knowing she needed sneakers, and selfish for not bringing them to her. I hope your daughter realizes what a selfish and careless person you are!!!

What else did you have to do with your day? I'll bet you were doing your nails and pouffing up your hair real high so you'll look "good" when the plumber comes over to bone you. You're an idiot for not knowing about call-forwarding. If you want to be a liar, you have to know your tech. What a cruel trick to play on a child! The school would have told the kid that her idiot, lardass mother had left town, only to find that the dream did not really come true!
