Today, my mom and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my mom yelled at me for fighting with my younger brother. Not because she wanted us to stop, but because my brother couldn't find a good comeback to my argument. FML
Today, my sister and mom were arguing. My sister was being really nasty to my mom, and decided to get nasty with me and drag me into the argument. Naturally, I got nasty back at her and we started fighting. My mom yelled at me for getting nasty with my sister, and kicked me out of the house for “being too nasty.” FML
Today, my mom and dad got into a fight, during which my dad said to my mom that her health conditions were of her own doing. Because of that, I got pissed and had a fight with my dad, taking my mom's side. Turns out, my mom took his side and ratted me out. FML
Today, I came home from school and went upstairs to sit on the balcony. I walked past my mom and said hello. She then got mad at me because I didn't ask how her day was. She said I should stay in my room and that I don't deserve dinner because I don't value her tasks in the house. FML
Today, I yelled at my oldest son for picking his little brother up by the throat. Only to then be yelled at my my mother-in-law for hurting his feelings. FML
Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML
Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML
Today, I kindly asked my irate mother to respect my boundaries and to find other outlets for her frustration. Instead of responding AT ALL to what I had asked, she yelled at me for an hour about a completely unrelated political documentary she'd seen on YouTube, and then didn't apologize for her outburst. Typical. FML
Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Put her in her place. Your mom sounds like a controlling woman.. Don't let people like that walk over you.

15 is just saying that they can shit louder than their mom.

Oh, this one really takes me back! Had nothing to do with the problem at hand and am instantly grounded for a month just for existing. Ah, parenting...

Ask her what you did wrong then. It might also be that she was just angry and happened to snap at you and might apologise for it when she's calmed down again.

Maybe she thought you acted disrespectful by not defending her.

That's sux, you've probably should've tried to tell her that you were on her side.

When she yells at you tell her you tried to help

Is it Female Psychology Day or something? You may think you did the right thing, but your mother probably got the feeling that you didn't care about her opinion, that you felt superior to both your mother and your siblings - which in her book would be worse than arguing.

I think all parents do that. I don't understand it either. As I'm doing dishes I get screamed at for never helping around the house. And if I sit in my room for 30min. my dad comes and ask what I'm hiding from him -.- Parents are crazy, they think everything we do there is an insidious plan behind it.
