Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML

Today, I lost my job. Why? Because I'm taking care of my dying mother. My boss actually said, "Well, if she dies today, we can hold your job." FML

Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML

Today, I got a call from the office telling me I was fired. When I asked why, my boss explained my mother called and told him I was in a "weak mental state." She thought she was helping me get off for my birthday. Now I have no job. FML

Today, I accidentally called my boss 'mom'. Now she is jokingly telling everyone that I'm the long-lost daughter she gave up for adoption, because she knew I'd be a failure. FML

Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML

Running a company into the ground? Huh!

Today, I found out my boss was quiet-firing me on purpose. Apparently, his daughter who works at this same company is pregnant now and needs a promotion. I have a Master’s and have been here for 9 years. She dropped out of college because it was “too hard” and the other day she put a metal spoon in the microwave. FML

Call your mom's boss. Tell him you're worried about her paranoia and that she shouldn't be allowed sharp objects.

Beat the crap out of her. Then call your dad and tell him you fear she won't be able to suck it good tonight. ... ok, ok. Maybe not that. But where does your mother get off doing something like that??

This is exactly why you should tell your mom as little about your life as possible. When I use this policy I am generally much happier.

There is something seriously wrong with your mother if she thinks this is an acceptable thing to do. I'm sorry but you need to tell her to but out in this situation. I agree that you should finish college, especially if you're close to graduating. There are a lot of people who have full time jobs and go to school full time just fine.
