Today, my extremely religious father visited for a family dinner. My daughter had just one job: not to set him off on one of his easily-provoked rants. She nonetheless decided to take a photo in the middle of prayer, because she just HAD to Instagram her food. My father went apeshit. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad got married to a woman who's an atheist and makes fun of me for being a devout Christian. FML
Today, my dad has discovered selfies and my mom has discovered taking pictures of food. Now I'm at a restaurant, suffering through it all and not being able to eat anything until my mom has taken pictures of it. FML
Today, I mustered up the courage to visit my estranged mega fundamentalist father to hopefully mend our relationship. The first thing he did was insult me for not having a beard, and call my wife and daughters whores because they weren't wearing long skirts or dresses. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents. Dad went on a religious tirade, and Mum got sick of him and pelted a Brazil nut at his head. Dad then lost his shit, and told Mum to go to her room and pray. I now remember why I moved out of home in the first place. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with, "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML
Today, my religious parents were hosting a family dinner. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for my grandma to finally show up, but when she did, she had her 30 year old boytoy in tow. Apparently, "Granny has needs too you know, hahaha!" Goodbye peaceful family. FML
Today, while having dinner with my girlfriend's very religious parents, her mother called me a heathen and said she'd convert me one day. She wasn't kidding. FML
Today, I was trying to take a nice picture of my dad but he was just doing stupid-looking poses, so I got mad and told him to "stop acting like a prostitute" without knowing what that even means. Keep in mind, this was also in front of my mum and oldest sister. FML
Today, my son announced he was leaving our religion. I told him that, as sad I was, that I accepted and loved him. He seemed disappointed, and I noticed him discreetly fiddling with a camera. A little snooping led me to his Reddit account, where he called us all, "inbred, illiterate, bible-thumpers." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Who cares what food she is eating? She should have been spending quality time with your family and not whipped out her phone. Sorry but she deserved it, you didn't. FYL

She's a legend for doing the same annoying shit that almost every teen does during meals?

Your life sucks. She seriously couldn't wait until the prayer was over? What a brat, she deserved it.

He deserved it. People who go apeshit over tiny things that really don't matter at all are terrible. Besides, going ballistic like that shows an extreme lack of respect, in my opinion, and I only respect people who respect me in return. Respect, in my mind, is not something you can earn (or deserve) simply by being old. Though, if I were in her shoes, I would have gone about it in a more appropriate manner and just refused to share a table with him.

Your father is a nut bar. Tell him to calm the **** down. Religion shouldn't be forced down our throats like this. Jesus Christ.

Do children always have to break the rules?

Not all children break the rules. We all make mistakes and if you were to say you were a perfect child who always listened to your parents you would be lying.

Your daughter needs table manners.

Can I have the link to the YouTube video of the rant? I'm just assuming she probably did that too.

Hope she took a picture of your dad mid-rant and put that on instagram too.

I can totally see why he went apeshit. I'm sorry but food is for eating not for the Internet. Unless there is something REALLY special about the food like its one of those Cake Boss cakes, that was unnecessary.
