Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that whenever I send my son to his room, he goes on his iPod and buys the most expensive apps he can find. So far I've been charged $600. FML
Today, I got my cell phone bill. I pay for 700 minutes per month. I used 9 last month. FML
Today, I went to my phone company and had my text history pulled. Why? Because a few days ago, my four year-old daughter told me that, "Daddy has a wife and a girlfriend." Turns out she was right. FML
Today, I found out that my cell phone bill was much higher than normal. After investigating, I realized that a text conversation I had with my stalker, telling him multiple times not to contact me anymore, was to an international cell phone. I have to pay to be stalked. FML
Today, I asked my friend to stop texting me, because I'm on a limited plan and didn't want to go over my limit. She responded by getting a group of her friends to text bomb me. I got well over a hundred one-word texts. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML
Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML
Today, my oldest son answered my phone call much to my surprise as we haven't spoken in a year. The first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't mean to pick up the phone." He then hung up. FML
Today, I woke up to 7 texts about the data overage charges that were accrued last night while I slept. Apparently my phone used nearly 8 GB of data, with no apps open, while I was sound asleep, leaving me with a $63 fee. FML
Today, I was talking to a friend about how many germs live on the average cell phone. My five year old son apparently overheard me talking, and decided to give my cell phone a bath. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@299 I'm 15 too. Heres a few thoughts, 1.) learn to spell. 2.) cursing every other word doesnt make you cool, and it certainly doesnt give you that mature-beyond-my-age impression you were going for. 3.) Nobody wants to hear about your dumb religious beliefs. Nothings going to happen if someone has sex before their married. as long as he has safe sex he's fine 4.) Your advocating for invasion of privacy just makes you seem like that asshole snitch that nobody likes, who believes everything their parents tell them and take on all their values without questioning anything. So, somehow i doubt that your a better parent than half the parents out there. And i doubt you'll ever be, because chances are your never getting laid.

My God, you people wore me out. Especially 185. Thank you for "Parenting-101" from a 19-year-old's perspective, even though half your argument wasn't even relevant to the conversation. We all know people who were over-protected growing up and rebelled like crazy. We all know people who were over-protected and turned out fine. Some kids were given free reign, abused the hell out of it and walked all over their parents, and some were responsible and appreciative for the freedom they were given. There are two sides to every story and every situation is different so stop trying to make generalizations because 3 people you know turned out a certain way. (To your credit, at least you write intelligently, which is more than be said of most of the other morons who responded.) The parent was concerned because the kid went over limit by 1,000 texts. The kid has therefore already lost the trust of the parent because he can not follow the rules, which is what sparked Father Gangstalicious' (Hah!) curiosity in the first place. The solution is not to give the kid unlimited texts, you retards, but to discipline for breaking the rules - and yes, I'd suggest making him pay - I had to do it when I was younger, and it taught me to be more responsible. I'm pretty sure the point of this whole thing was to make a joke about the kid getting laid more than the dad, which I do find funny (and normal), but my goodness, how it's been blown out of proportion... So yes, the dad went through the texts, invaded his 15-year- old's privacy (heaven forbid!!) and found something he didn't intend to find which turned out to be disappointing news. This does not make him a bad parent, but how he chooses to handle the situation will determine what type of relationship he has with the kid. We don't even know if this guy's bothered by the fact that his 15-year-old is having sex, or if it's just that he's having more than the dad. I say, if it does bother you, try talk to your son about it without bringing up the texts you found so that he will be more likely to listen to you. And maybe pay a little more attention to where he is and who he's with, and talk to him about using protection. If he's already having sex, I really doubt you'd be able to get him to stop (either by convincing or controlling), but you can at least teach him to be smart about it. I'm not a parent, but I'm no longer a teenager, and I think a parent's job is to be a parent first, and a friend second. So take that as you will... just my opinion. If you're only bothered about not getting laid yourself, might I suggest hitting the gym and spicing it up a little. :)

And, FYI, little ones: Calling the cops on your parents for going through a cell phone (or room, or whatever)) they're paying for when you're under 18 will be counter-productive. Don't be surprised if they laugh at you on the other end. Judging by a lot of your responses, your parents evidently aren't involved enough in your lives either. If you don't want to risk them going through your phones, man-up and start working to earn your own independence.

wow that is bad that your fifteen year old son has so much sex, but also why would you intrude his personal life like that?

LMAO @ #22. That would be what I'd do. And by the way, a lot of you are gonna be REALLY lousy parents. #51 said it best, a nosy parent is a good parent. You gotta know what your kids are doing if you're going to give them guidance or try to deter them from certain behaviors (like... hmm... meth? Or sex with STD-ridden *****? Or... must I continue?) Kudos to you, OP. Just realize that you have your kids' entire lives to become their friends. For now, you're their PARENT.
