Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML
Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML
Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML
Today, after I missed in school for two and a half weeks, I also missed three tests. Now I gotta work for all of them during my holidays and read two books for school. My holidays are just gonna be like school, but with more work. FML
Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML
Today, my PE teacher yelled at me for not trying hard enough in class. This my second week back after being in the hospital with a collapsed lung. FML
Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML
Today, whilst cleaning out his desk, my dad "accidentally" threw away my summer homework. That's 100 pages, over a duration of 2 months. School starts in 3 days. FML
Today, I spent my first day with my parents for the first time in a year as I've been away at university. My dad went to work, and my mum spent the whole day playing mahjong with her friends as they all told me "how fat I've gotten" and how "boys won't like it". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is probably one of those very rare instances where you could cuss out your teacher big time and get away with it... after you have explained to the head teacher that you father just died of course.

We should be reading this tomorrow, seriously: "Today, I was called to my Superintendent's office for sternly reprimanding a student who ditched the first two weeks of school to go on holiday. It turns out his father was dying of cancer during those two weeks. FML."

Obviously the teacher didn't know about the OP's reason for being absent and reasonably assumed it was the much more likely extended vacation. It was the school's job to insure that the OP's teachers were all notified, at least, that he had a sensitive reason for his absence.

my friends dad just died and she came back to school the next week. he had died on a Thursday. but everybody deals with it differently. I probably wouldn't wanna get outta bed (but u can't even IMAGINE what it's like to lose my dad) but she just didn't wanna have to stay home because there was nothing to distract her. I missed school for the funeral and all the tears she hadn't cried at school cane out there. we all cried so hard. it was awful. I'm so sorry.

I agree with these ppl. I'd tell that teacher what was up and then I'd give her a peice of my mind.

Who the **** seriously believes that this person DESERVED to have their father pass away? They need to be removed from the gene pool before it's too late. That's just stupid. No one deserves that. It's been more than 5 years since my Dad died, and I still can't get over it. It kills me knowing that it has to happen to everyone. My condolences :(

Aww I'm so sorry. :( Losing someone as close as a parent is one of the hardest things to experience in my opinion. If I saw you I would hug you. :(

I'm sorry for your loss OP. But I do have to ask, why does everyone just assume the teacher is a woman? If the gallivanting thing is a quote, to me it sounds more like it's a man. Just saying....
