Today, I must find a gentle way to tell my 71-year-old mother that she's too old to be wearing shirts that expose her belly. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, an old lady on the street told me that I should be wearing a bra because my nipples were visible under my white tee. I am a 37-year-old man. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to see his 72-year-old mom who just had minor surgery on her abdomen. When we asked how she was healing, she lifted up her nightgown to show us a bruise near her belly button. She wasn't wearing any underwear. FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, my mom took a bright red sharpie and drew a red circle just above my breasts. She said, "If I can see this, ever, your shirt is either too low cut or too see through and it will be thrown away." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Today, I had to have a discussion with my 54-year-old mother about showering. She thinks it's perfectly OK to shower only once a week. FML
Today, my mom and I took my senile grandmother to the mall, since she doesn't get out much. She complained it was hot, then took her clothing off in the middle of the food court. It took us thirty minutes to make her put her shirt back on. FML
Today, I went to my parents' for dinner, who greeted me outside and immediately my mom said, “What are you wearing? Go to my room and change your shirt.” I was with my husband and I’m 47. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML

How old are you?

The woman is 71 years old. She's put in her time as a mother, as an employee, possibly a wife. She's an adult. She doesn't need your approval on how she dresses. Chances are, she'll likely remind you of all that herself.

Seriously? Methinks you need to find a gentle way to tell yourself that there are so many things worse in the world than 71 old year belly. The woman brought you into the world and provided you with love, shelter and food. Even if it's embarrassing for you, hasn't she done enough to deserve your unequivocal love and support as long as she's not robbing banks or beating people? Especially over something so trivial as clothing? This FML made me giggle but let your momma be.

I saw an old lady wearing a belly shirt the other day. Maybe it was your mom lmao.

A lot of people don't realize they have to let go of their youth. Your glory days are over, deal with it. And just because you're an adult that doesn't give you the power/right to do whatever you want. It's that kind of backwoods logic that's killing this world. Sorry this world is not all about you.

No, you can't do WHATEVER you want simply because you're an adult. But, her doing legal that hurts no one? Yeah, that she CAN do. Her bearing skin might make you, or others, uncomfortable. But like you said, this world is not all about you.

i think you should have done that about 10 yrs ago unless she is a major MILF and obviously hotter than you. FYL.
