Overdoing it

By Anonymous - 30/10/2021 23:00

Today, my mother is such a helicopter parent, she wouldn’t let me go to my first appointment with my new gynaecologist without being in the room, to “keep an eye on him”. When I told her to stay out, she started screaming in the waiting room that I was going to be raped without her there. FML

Today, my professor informed me that if I didn't "show more commitment" to my choral ensemble he would give my spot to a "more interested young woman." I missed class to see my neurologist. Apparently my seizures are a symptom of lack of commitment. FML

Today, I saw a lady who had fainted. I ran over to help, only to find out that she was unstable and had a knife in her hand. She was pointing it at me, and growled threateningly every time I tried to move away. It took the cops an hour to defuse the situation. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I snuck into the bathroom together at his house for a quickie. Just as we unzipped our pants, his step-dad knocked on the door. Panicking, I jumped into the closet to hide. When his step-dad came in, he went to put some towels away. In the closet. FML

Today, my new electric car lied to me about its range, and the nine fast-charging stations I visited either didn't exist, were blocked off, broken, or not fast. We spent three hours sitting in the car in the rain waiting for the car to slow charge so we could make it home, and my wife is furious with me. FML

Under no circumstances should you allow your mother to know anything about your Doctor's appointments. You need to set some boundaries, NOW!

to those who are laughing, this is NOT funny. feeling safe with your OB/GYN doctor, is something every female, no matter the age is something to strive for. this is why females will talk to other females about which Dr. they go to. woman are vulnerable when they are in office. heck we just had a Dr in my area get 59 years for doing unnecessary surgeries on female patients. be happy your mom cares about you this much

so if the mother was there and watched how would she know if the procedure they recommend is needed or not? unless she's a doc/nurse I don't see how your fantasy plays out. secondly, what's arguably worse is raising our daughters to fear the people who for the most part have their best interest at heart. yes there's bad docs but they are far far from the norm.
