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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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Today, I checked my sister's diary, because I was worried about her recent angry and withdrawn behavior.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

This is probably the sort of reason you're distant from her. You deserved it for being so damn nosy, and not talking to her face to face.

It's funny how commenters react differently when things are put in a different perspective, just to push OP down. I once wrote an FML saying that my mom read my diary, and most of the comments I got was how stupid I was for keeping a diary.

Well, since you have 0 confirmed FML's you're lying.

They might have posted it anonymously, or on another account.

as someone whos been on both sides of this argument, all i can say is OP needs to seriously sort out her logic. 'my daughter's being distant with me, so i'll invade her privacy to try and talk to her about it', really?? i've walked in on my sister reading my diary before and, no exaggeration, i've never felt a betrayal like it. a diary is a tool used to vent any frustrations that you may have that you can't talk to people about. for someone to snoop through is like revealing all the skeletons in your closet. also, i've made the mistake of snooping through someone's phone. i saw some messages i wish to god i didn't see, but i'll never tell anyone what they were. snooping will always unveil something you wish you didnt read. OP, i hope you've learnt your lesson and will just sack up and talk to your daughter from now on. if she ever speaks to you again.

I don't understand why you can't talk to your daughter ?

That's just rude. How would you feel if someone looked in YOUR diary? Or at least tried to?

Talk to her, DON'T INVADE HER SPACE! Itll take her a while to trust you again.

Well, you shouldnt have attempted to violate her privacy. I'd hate my mom if she did that. I could never trust her. YDI
