Today, feeling very distant from my daughter recently, I decided to sneak a peek in her diary to see what was on her mind. The book was apparently one of those that play the sound of a woman screaming when opened improperly, and alerted everyone in the house to my actions. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found my long lost diary and curiously read it. What's worse than finding out that your mother read your diary? Finding out that your mother wrote comments in it. FML
Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML
Today, my dad found and read my diary. Most of the entries were about how my father didn't respect my privacy. Then he phoned my aunt and read her passages from it. FML
Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML
Today, I found my diary on my mother's nightstand. Bookmarked. FML
Today, like an idiot, I accidentally included stuff I learned from snooping in my daughter's secret diary during a conversation with her. She's not happy at me right now, so I may have to polish off my old grovelling skills from when I was still married to her mom. FML
Today, I took a look at my 9-year-old daughter's diary, thinking it would be full of cute stuff. Instead, it was full of hateful rants against me and my husband, as well the boys at her school, who she called gay because none of them ever hit on her. It seems I've failed as a parent. FML
Today, I checked my sister's diary, because I was worried about her recent angry and withdrawn behavior. She caught me in the act, and my mom, whom I've caught blatantly snooping through my stuff multiple times now, grounded me for my "disgusting" violation of my sister's privacy. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, my daughter falsely accused me of stealing and snooping through her diary. She later found out that I didn't, but is still angry and not speaking to me because I "made her think that I did." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you were distant, shouldn't you, oh I don't know, try to talk to her instead of looking at her diary? YDI

bitch. respect privacy

Even though I am not a parent, and never will be, op went too far. I agree that a parent must be a parent and lay down the law and do their utmost to protect their child. But violating privacy and trust that has been EARNED is just paving the way for consequences that will be devastating to the parent/child relationship.

Did you see her shinigami when you touched the diary?

Don't worry, CallmeRyuzaki. I think the reason people are thumbing you down is because they don't get the reference.

Deserved it as soon as I read that you looked into your daughters diary. Invasion of privacy!!!

Children have no expectations of privacy. Parents need a way to learn what their children are doing since children tend to lie about things. Especially if they did something wrong

I've known several kids who never lied to their parents...until their parents started snooping anyways. Once the trust was broken the kids saw no reason not to commit the crime since they were already receiving the punishment. Meanwhile, my parents have never snooped. Instead they do this crazy thing called talking to me. I can't remember the last time I lied to them.
