Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, my mom slept all day. But when she got out of bed for five minutes, she told me I was a worthless piece of shit. Then she went back to bed. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML
Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. 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 had to eat my breakfast in terrified silence, as my hungover mother staggered into the room, shouted at the kettle for not boiling fast enough, and after a few seconds, screamed that I'd sabotaged it. I'm now grounded for supposedly trying to fuck with her head. FML
Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How are we suppose to explain ourselves without talking back?

Some people just want something to bitch about. If you're able to, get out of there.

And parents wonder why kids try to move out as soon as possible. This is why.

Yep, kids are like a spring. The more you hold them back, the farther they'll go.

that happens to me all the time

I just apologized. Didn't matter if I was right or wrong, they got the gratification they were after and went on their way. Come to think of it, that technique works as well on spouses as it does on parents.

This always works on my friends' parents, but my mom is bipolar and paranoid, so she believes I'm rude, that my apologies aren't legitimate, and that I try to make her angry on purpose. She's the kind of mom that if I were to walk away from a toxic conversation that would only end up with her screaming, that she'd come running after me. I can never win.

Tomorrow pound on her door and scream "IT'S GYM TIME!"

Toss your sweaty gym clothes to her. Then she will understand.

If she's just getting up isn't she the lazy one?

How would going to the gym be useful for her? She needs you to do chores around the house or get a ******* job. You may beat the "lazy" rap, but "useless" is still in play, and she could throw in "narcissistic."

#49, in many third-world countries today and until the recent past in the developed world, that's exactly what kids were used for. It's a recent luxury that kids have can afford to go to a gym and lift an iron weight just to put it back down again. Little bastards need to use their energy milking cows or pulling weeds. Lots of people go to the gym just to look better. That's narcissistic.

#52, in 300 characters, we never get the whole story, so to make this site fun, we have to make up shit. Trying to look good can be a manifestation of narcissism. It depends to what extent the OP is working on it and what he or she may be excluding to focus on their looks.

Uh you have no idea what OP does around the house or in their life, how about you don't just jump to all these silly conclusions about the OP. Not only that, OP lives in the USA not a 3rd world country, so who cares what they do vs. what the OP does. Everyone's lifestyle is different.

So, 57, are you a long-winded narcissist?
HeyMacklemore 10
I CANNOT STAND people like you, #49. You hate children and you think they should be slaves for their parents.
Carmstro 13
Is this some fancy way of telling us that you went to the gym, OP?
