Today, at preschool, I got to meet the mother of my daughter's best friend. She complimented mine's grades, and noted her quirkiness. I complimented her's for being congenial and being well-rounded. Later, my daughter said they are no longer besties because her mom said I called her daughter fat. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML
Today, I had a meeting with my daughter's headmistress, which I thought went well, until I was walking to my car past the open staff room window and I heard her say to other teachers, “Jesus, I can see where that brat [my daughter's name] gets her shitty attitude from… and her fat arse.” They all laughed. FML
Today, I complimented my mom with "Hey, I think you lost some weight." She replied with "Yeah, I think you found it." FML
Today, was parent appreciation day at my daughter's KG class. On the stage, each child was asked to define each parent in one word. When it was my daughter's turn, she looked at me hard, thinking. Finally, in the end she said, "My daddy is very fat." Everybody stared. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my little sister as she explained that all these guys like her now that she's so skinny and beautiful. My mom must have overheard me tell my sister that at least I was a cuter child, because my mom laughed and said, "Yeah right, we had to buy you fat kid diapers." FML
Today, my kid made a new friend at school. When I asked her to describe her new friend, she said, "She looks kinda like you, only pretty." FML
Today, my daughter ran up to a librarian working in the kids section and screamed "MOMMY!" and hugged her. She looked at her and said "I'm not your mommy." My daughters reply: "I know. But you're better than mommy" FML
Today, a mama from my daughter's class has been talking nicely with me, and we've been friends for the past year, going to the playground and library together regularly. Now, all of a sudden, she has stopped talking or going out with us for no reason. I don't know if my daughter and I are both back in school now. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter asked me when I was going to be skinny like her daycare lady. FML
Today, just because my mum's friend's son got better grades than me, she's now treating me like shit. You know what lady? His mom is way better than you too! She didn't attempt to kill her child half a dozen times, and you don't see me complaining about it all day long. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Even if someone were to insult my child, there is no way in hell I would tell my child the insult. Why would the mom even do that? Oh wait, I know the answer. Because she is stupid enough to mistaken well-rounded for fat. Goodness.

You should probably talk to her mother to clear things out. This misunderstanding shouldn't get in the way of your daughter's friendship. :)

I had the same reaction at first. Then i searched what well-rounded means. You should explain to her.

That's why you don't use "big words" around ignorant adults

Next time you see that mother, you should call her lightheaded ... that way she will know that you are calling her brainless.

You need to explain this to the mother. Your daughter shouldn't be down a friend because her friend's mother doesn't understand what words are.

Thus the reason I'm not friends with other moms. Too much drama and miscommunication that's not ever even attempted at being sorted out. Give me my childless cohorts I can live vicariously through any day of the week.

Well rounded = fat.. Well understood

It isn't even like the words some similar so maybe that's why. I don't know much Tagalog but Taba meaning fat is short and well-rounded is a long phrase
