Today, while in the car with my mom, we accidentally ran over a dog who had sprinted into the road. Instead of stopping, my mom continued to drive as if nothing happened. Every time I tried to bring it up, she merely talked loudly over me. FML

Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML
Today, my mom was driving with my brothers and sister in the back seat. She was turned around talking to us, when my sister told my mom that she missed the light. She ran it, then screamed at us about not paying attention and noticing your surroundings. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Today, my mom and I were going to the store. I stayed in the car while she went in. In the car next to me, there was a dog in the driver's seat barking at me. Bored, I barked back at it until I realized there was someone in the passenger's seat watching me. FML

However, if you wish to be considered an adult, you have to take responsibility for your actions. That means if you hit someone's pet, you stop the car to see if there's a vet needed and try to locate the owners if possible. Just continuing driving and pretending nothing's happened is not only irresponsible, it's immature.

That must be an awkward car ride.. Not to be too graphic, but wouldn't running over a dog do any damage to the car? Unless of course it was really small.. But still. Sorry about you mom OP:(

I was in a similar situation but in a van and it completley dented the fender and looked like a car had hit it

Ouch.... I guess I can't expect everyone to be a sobbing mess over killing a dog, but seriously, ignoring it completely is a bit much. Sorry your mom is like that, OP.

Your mom sounds like a horrible person. But really the main thing I care about is if the dogs ok.

She probably doesn't have insurance

Or maybe she has Geico, and doesn't know how the gecko will react?

OP - Sorry about the unpleasant experience. Sometimes the important people in our lives are not perfect. That doesn't make them less of a mother or whatever. And sometimes adults have to make quick and unpleasant choices. Life is not always what we wish it were. It was a dog, not a person. I trust that if it had been a person your mom would have stopped. It's over, deal with it and give your mom a break.

That really depends on the situation, and where you're from. I wouldn't call it immature, more irresponsible.

There are any number of reasons why she may not have stopped, such as creating a hazard for other drivers, may have an unsafe area, the dog may have run off, etc. To judge the mother's actions solely upon the information presented is not only irresponsible, it's immature.

It's not only irresponsible, but inhumane

Sorry, #10 but I'm gonna have to go with #11 on this one. That dog could have belonged to a family and leaving them to wonder what happened to their pet would make worry and lose hours of sleep wondering what happened to their pet. Forcing yourself to get over the tragedy isn't going to work because you yourself will wonder if there was something you would have done about it. Other than that, your mom is very careless for running over the animal without stopping to see if the animal was a pet and beloged to a family. She has also failed to take responsibility for her own actions by driving down the road and talking over people who have attempted to bring up the incident. But that depends on the situation, however.

My dad worked on traffic laws and now a dispatcher and this is normal behavior for that

That's what you're supposed to do so you don't cause trouble in the road for other people. You can't just stop all of a sudden and possibly have a car behind crash into you.

It doesn't say a busy road or highway. Many roads you can easily stop or find a stop.

The fact the mother loudly talked over op to ignore the subject seriously suggests something else though.
