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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

You people are the biggest ******* idiots of all time. Why do you have to be 18 to have privacy? Because the law says so? It is easy for all of you to talk because you are not under 18, though Im 17 and know more about my laws and rights then my parents could even begin to imagine. Just because they pay for the bill doesn't give the parents the right to invade his privacy. You can punish him in any other way besides invading his privacy.

# 216, thanks for replying to my comment (I'm #185). I'm well aware that I can't make statements about a large population based on a sample size of 3 (math/stats major here). I'm just giving my observations. I didn't give any conclusions, but I implied that their approach is wrong. I allowed the reader to infer that it was a generalization (sorry, I just came back from the Star Trek movie). My comment wasn't particularly relevant to the OP, but it was an appropriate response to the rants of #91 and #134. What really got to me was the idea that parents should say "no" just for the sake of saying it. My girlfriend's mom always did this and it drove me nuts. Thank goodness we're in college now. In any case, kids should be eased into adulthood with more freedom as they get more mature. The fact that I'm 19 isn't particularly relevant here, because I know that my parents would say the exact same thing as I'm saying here. Apart from that, though, it looks like we are mostly in agreement in regards to the original FML here. The kid should pay for going over his limit by 1000, although I don't think going through his texts was the right thing to do. I also wrote #86, if you're interested, which was far more relevant to the discussion. Thanks for acknowledging my non-retarded writing style though. I'm pleased to say the same about you.

You have a 15 year old boy and you aren't monitoring his texts and phone use regularly? Really? Because, this is the sort of thing that teenage boys do. #134, you rock.

lol #4 also i cant read #134... but #133 is a dumbass... phones keep kids connected to adults, when i was 16 i had no way home from my high school which is about 50 miles away from my home... could've used a phone then. also, no privacy makes Jack's problems go into the closet... that or he'll turn into a coddled adult

It's not "My house, me paying the bills, my rules!" It's respecting the kid's privacy. If he goes over and you're concerned about it, talk to him about cutting down on usage, ask him about helping pay the bill a little bit, or cutting him off. Anything but looking through his private messages. No matter how old the kid is - everyone is entitled to their own privacy. You're the kind of parent that would read their kid's diary aren't you? Some people are just awful human beings. #55 A+
