Suspicious Minds

Today, I discovered that my 17-year-old daughter received several weird deposits from Paypal. I checked her phone to discover that she had changed the password for the first time in years. Fearing drugs, I confronted her. She broke down and confessed to selling rare digital Pokemon on eBay. FML

Hustlers

Today, I found out that my 14-year-old son spent hundreds of dollars on what appears to be a misogynist multi-level marketing hustlers' website. How did he pay for this horseshit, and how did I found out? My PayPal account sent me emails, telling me that several purchases had been made, but too late for me stop them. FML

Today, my 17-year-old daughter has been sending and receiving videos and pictures of a sexual nature. I just had to wade through a ton of middle-aged dick pics as evidence for the police. FML

Today, I got a call informing me that my 16-year-old daughter had been arrested for shoplifting jewellery. Trying to look on the bright side, I assumed it was for my birthday that is coming up in a few days. Nope. It was a "Thank you" gift. For her drug dealer. FML

Mindblowing

Today, I confronted my daughter about the various drug-associated items I found in her room. She then confronted me about going in her room and invading her privacy, to the point where I forgot the main issue and apologised to her. I just got outsmarted by a teenage pothead. FML

Today, I found out where all my missing panties have gone, when my 12-year-old daughter was caught selling them to the boys at school. FML

Today, I put a lock on my account because of several unknown purchases for large amounts. Turns out it was my girlfriend, without asking. Who is now mad at me for blocking her parcels. FML

Today, I realised I’d raised an idiot when my daughter confidently told me she discovered an infinite money glitch by just using one of her credit cards to pay off her other credit card, then swapping them over every month. This is why she’s 28 and still living in her childhood bedroom. FML

I wonder how often have you checked her phone previously. Ever heard of privacy?

It wasn't from selling videos of her ability to Squirtle?

I'm the mother of a 16 year old who will be 17 in two months. While I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he's selling drugs or check his phone, I would be concerned and would ask him. I trust my son and have faith that he wouldn't be involved in illegal behavior, HOWEVER it's not uncommon for teenagers to fool their parents. I don't totally agree with this parent but I think OP was right to ask about the transactions

Hey, at least they were just digital Pokémon and not the real things! Otherwise, PETA would be all over your ass!

While OP was right to ask about the transactions, why is this an FML? She isn't on drugs, she isn't suckin dick for money, shes profiting from a game. So what?
