This one's fake... it's the same as the one below it and the same as a million other ones that have already gotten through / are in the mods, failing to get through. "My parents like the dog more. My parents don't care about me. My parents want my dog to be happier." etc. Blah,blah,blah.

# 12 - just cause there are other ones like this doesnt mean its fake! i could write 20 that sound JUST like this! and guess what... they arent fake! this FML has happened to be, but with a stool instead of a table. i had a black eye. i have also had them care more about the dog.... of course i care more about ANYthing than my ******* step-grandpa who i have to live with but thats a different story... anyways, my point it... i feel your pain and im sorry. how's your head?

#12 - Could be fake, but you would also be suprised how many of these types of stories play out like described

I think people forget about how rough they were on themselves when they were kids. It's not that your folks don't care but that they know you're tough enough to take it... Or they're just assholes.

This is like my mom, she cares way more about her house plants than us sometimes! I'm not sure if she still does this, but when I lived at home it happened all the time--she had some plants behind the dining room table where we ate. Sometimes it was tricky to back your chair and get up from the table without hitting them. I can't tell you how many times I hurt myself on the table or chair trying to be careful and all she'd say was that I better not have disturbed the plants... Ah, parents.

Maybe they were checking for broken glass, to ensure that you didn't have any embedded in your skull? Just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, though I would still think instinct would drive them to check on YOU first...

A million years ago when I was 11 or so, I fell down the entire flight of stairs (bouncing off of a wall halfway), head over heels, and proceeded to land head first on a hard linoleum floor. I screamed and at the same time the phone rang; of course, my mom answered the phone. It was my friend on the line and my mom told her I couldn't come to the phone because I was too busy being a big baby. She had no clue what had actually happened to me because she didn't even check, meanwhile I thought I had a concussion/broken neck.

That happened to my friend, except she was in the shower and she slipped and pulled down the shower curtain. Her boyfriend came running upstairs just to make sure that the shower curtain and the rod weren't ripped or broken. I laughed so hard, because it's something he would do.

Parenting Fail

Your parents have personality disorders. Psycological fail. :D
