Narcissistic parents

Today, my mom told an entire room full of people about the time I almost died from severe diarrhea as a toddler. When I told her that it was embarrassing, she simply told me to “grow up”. FML

Today, after having just cleaned my office at work, I sat at my desk and opened a can of Diet Coke, which then exploded all over my desk, keyboard, and everything else in its path. FML

Today, I swallowed and nearly choked to death on the ring my boyfriend hid in my wine glass. It's still in me somewhere, and my doctor basically told me that I'll have to "keep an eye on things" if I want to find it. FML

Today, I finally accepted my grandma's friend request on Facebook. I commented on a family photo album she'd uploaded, joking that the quality would greatly improve once she added pictures of me. My comment was met with, "Shut up you sewage rat". FML

Today, I told my mom my husband and I were considering having another baby. She said, "No!" about 30 times. Then later she texted me that she insists on no more kids. I guess I will never have that bonding moment with her. FML

Today, I found a website that lets you write an email to yourself from "the past". I used my boss's address, and wrote a long email about how much I hate him, signed from me. It worked, and he'll receive it in 6 months, after I move away. He's already received the confirmation email, though. FML

Everytime my mom meets someone new she tells them the story of the one time I was so hungover I threw up in the subway. She thinks it's hilarious because I very rarely get that drunk. Everyone who listens to the story just cringes but she still thinks it's hilarious and keeps telling it... Then she wonders why I don't want to be around her. Smh

While I understand that this can feel embarrassing, neither diarrhea nor your mom's behaviour is under your control so try not be embarrassed.

I love to counter this with something stupid they did: the time I had diarrhea for whatever reason (given you were the one looking after me and controlled everything I ate and drank) vs. that time you (as an adult) yelled at me for a super minor thing, grounded me because I didn't fold laundry while I was doing homework, etc.. Works pretty well in my experience
