Today, my mom told me to do karate with her, and so I said no. Now my mom won't let me do anything until I go do karate with her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my mom withdrew me from karate at the insistence of my my fucking stepdad, who's a wimpy sissy pacifist who is against violence. I was so close to getting my black belt. FML
Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML
Today, after having watched a scare story on the news about heart disease, my mom is now insisting that we have daily, hour-long, family yoga sessions together. I have a job, and barely have enough time to do my homework as it is. I'm going to be grounded if I don't take part. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could join my friends in getting lessons in self defense. My mom told me that I didn't need them because my face was a better weapon to repel anyone. FML
Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML
Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML
Today, at a family dinner, my mother-in-law talked me into showing off some moves that I've learned in martial arts. I gently did a restraining hold on her. She screamed that I was trying to break her wrists, and kept the wounded act up all night, smirking as everyone gave me death glares. FML
Today, my mother stormed into my room shouting about how I never go anywhere and then tells me to go out "NOW" and do something. As she is pushing me out the door, her boyfriend walks in. FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML

dude..... love your mom while you have her. she just wants to spend some time with you, be grateful. a lot of us have parents who wanted nothing to do with them.

Yes, but it should be time spent doing something they both want to do. Also, not letting your child do anything if they don't do what you want first is abusive. If the mom wants to spend time with the kid, she could try to find another activity to do together and take karate lessons by herself or with someone who's interested too.

Life is not always fair, and there is nothing wrong with putting your children in SELF DEFENSE classes (an essential life skill). I highly doubt any activity that actually involves spending time with this childs parent is going to be accepted. And as for abuse..... being grounded for not listening is called CONSEQUENCE, not abuse. I'm so damn sick of everyone throwing that term around for just about anything!!!! Get real.

Be thankful her hobby isn’t amateur ****. Go spend time with your mom, she’s trying to bond with you

forcing someone to do what they don't want to do isn't how you "bond" it's how you force and breed animosity
