Today, I had to fake fall down the stairs so my mom would stop texting and actually pay attention to what I was saying. FML

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

Today, I got annoyed with my mum stopping in her tracks each time she needed to reply to a text message. I tried to show her that you can walk and text at the same time. I ended up falling into a drain. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs. My mom came running from the other room because she thought it was the dog. She rolled her eyes and walked away when she saw it was me. FML

Unbelievable
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML

Use your powers wisely
Today, I jokingly told my mother to "go fall down a hole" during a mock argument we always have. Not even 10 minutes later, our basement stairs gave out. When I said that, I didn't want her to break both her arms or to actually fall into a gaping hole. FML

The great escape
Today, I had to pretend my phone was broken because my mom kept calling to ask if she could join my friends and me for karaoke night. FML

Today, I pretended to be on the phone to avoid small talk with someone from my building. I spoke loudly into the phone while walking by them. My phone rang in the middle of my fake conversation. FML

Another non-emergency
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML

Agony
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML

Evil child
Today, I tried to put the little girl I babysit in timeout for lying to me. I was about to sit her down when she made a mad dash for the basement stairs, slipped on the wood floor, and fell down them. She told her parents and everyone at the ER that I had thrown her down the stairs. FML

It would be worse if she didn't even give you attention then...

Ever think about consequences of your actions? BEFORE you carry them out? People have died from falling down the stairs. Don't be as ignorant as your mom.

Someone seems desperate for attention

I have friends who are now emotionally scarred because their parents neglected them. It is also neglect when a parent chooses to constantly ignore a child. My own brother stopped speaking all together because his father ignored him on a daily basis. Everyone wants to feel loved and wanted, so I don't blame OP for trying to get their parents attention.

maybe this is why your mom doesn't listen to you

My mom is the same. I ask her about stuff all the time, and she's usually glued to her ******* phone. She ignores me all the time. I don't think she realizes she's still a mom, though I'm 14. She would rather have her phone than me.
