Today, I overheard my mom talking to a friend on the phone. What caught my attention was when she said, "You ever look at your kid and just think... 'Fuck. Where'd I go wrong?'" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, I was feeling depressed. I overheard my mom crying on the phone. She said, “If my daughter kills herself, who’s going to do the dishes?” FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, I was comforting my friend who has a toxic relationship with her Mom. She said, "If I'm such a failure, they always make it known that I can't live up to their expectations." It caught me a bit off guard when she said, "I wish she would just leave me alone and leave my life just like your mom did." FML
Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just like how not all kids appreciate their parents, not all parents appreciate their kids. Sorry about that OP.

Based on the very little context that's been given, I'm generously giving you the benefit of the doubt and voting FYL... If you're Donald Trump, though, YDI!!!!

According to google he has siblings, so you're save in voting FYL :)

Thank you so much! It's 6:19am and I have been awake worrying about my decision to vote FYL. You have given me the gift of peaceful sleep. =) Thank you, kind stranger.

You let her overhear you saying to a friend "You ever look at your mom and wonder... Wow how did something so great come out of her?"

Respect your mother and her privacy. You have no idea on what she is going through attempting to raise a little brat like you. Perhaps you should listen to her advice since she has been your age once. BTW show this comment to her, she will appreciate it.

I only spoke the truth. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. that was a reference probably too old for you guys.

...so curious about what you said that was bad enough to get moderated (feel free to message me and tell me). I've posted some pretty obnoxious messages and have never gotten past "Too many negative votes...". At least you stand by your words...

Some parents say this, mainly because you didn't turn out how THEY wanted - which isn't to say that's a bad thing. Be your own person, if your parents don't like that well too bad.

My parents say that about me and my siblings daily. I also tell them that they should have never had kids pretty much every day. It's how our relationships are.
