Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. 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, 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, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML
Today, my mother once again called me to remind me what a disappointment I am despite having two degrees, a house, a professional job and having never been unemployed at 25. FML
Today, I realised that I wasted my teenage life just to be a parent pleaser. I'm in the final months of high school and while everyone is enjoying the last days, I'm sat here being a "good" son, listening to my parents argue, maybe divorcing. I'm in tears and can't go out as I'm not invited to anything anymore. FML
Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. 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, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should kill your mom in her sleep!

You'll never owe her a grandchild, no matter how old you get. But you do owe yourself to make the most of what you have, which it seems you do,

Tell her you have dropped out of school, that you have decided to be a pole dancer at a local nude dive bar and that you have, at her insistance become pregant by the 40 year old night watchman at the local gaming casino. Oh.. And because your not getting married you will need a babysitter full time and she is it.

I understand OP. I'm 16 and I keep up my 3.4 GPA and do all the right things, yet my mom gets on me for the same thing... the no direction part not the children part. :)

I absolutely hate when parents pull out the "I want grandkids" card.

A much more appropriate thing to say instead of FML is WTF

19 and "spent years in college"? Hmm i say 1 or 2, not long

Where does OP specifically say college? OP said school, which most likely encompasses high school and the first few years of college if she's enrolled in a course of study. Way to exercise that reading comprehension!

Good grief. Go out and find someone that had intercourse twice in her life, once with some random guy and second the school football team and introduce her to your mom with that in her bio. I think she should get the picture then.

You're 19? I bet you hit puberty around 13 or so; damn it, it's been 6 years! Get a husband already! What are you, independent?
