Today, I went to my son's high school play. The moment I arrived at the auditorium, I shouted out his name to let him know I made it. Thinking I was a student, a teacher yelled, "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Scared out of my mind, I quickly obeyed, to mass giggling from the kids. FML

Today, it was the début of the high school musical I was in. When two others and I sang the word "Hell", my mother yelled at us for using that language, while the musical was still going, and dragged me off stage. FML

Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML

Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML

Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML

Today, while dropping my son off at the bus stop before school, I went to give him a kiss on the cheek. Then, before I was able to make contact, he jumped away, yelled "PSYCH!!!!" as loud as he could, and jumped on the bus. The kids all laughed at me and the other parents looked embarrassed for me.

Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

Today, I was hushed in a theatre during a play. I would normally appreciate a discreet silencing in the audience, but I was saying my lines. FML

Today, I picked up my four year old son from daycare. As I was putting him in his car seat, I asked him if he had fun. He yelled, "Shut it, bitch!" FML

Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML

Today, I went to my son's final band performance. I also have a busy toddler, so I ended up watching most of the performance in the hallway on a tv monitor. In the middle of the awards ceremony, my toddler pulled the fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate the building. FML

ydi for being the kind of parent that makes their kid wish they could disappear because of their idiot parents.

Not even just embarrassing for her son, but how distracting and disrespectful to the other people there to see the show. YDI for being so self-involved that you wouldn't consider how annoying that is for other people.

I'd have been like " I don't take s**t from you, b**ch, that's the point of being 18+" then I'd go bitch-slap the motherf****r

Yes, I'm sure you would have done exactly that. Please. I knew before looking at your profile that you are a silly teenager, because only an obnoxious kid would think this way. Nicely done.

Yes techweed, please do that type of thing when you're an adult so you can be locked up for assault and kept from reproducing.

1. Why censor your own ******* bad words? 2. I can tell your just a teenager ruins sound tough cuz no adult would say that. 3. if you are an adult, your pretty ******* immature. 4. if you did do what you said (which I think u wud be to chicken to do) you would get arrested and probably get a restraining order. 5. your a dumbass. 6. I would've just looked at her like -_- but I wudnt have yelled out his name to begin with. 7. your a dumbass.

wow 22....i kinda agree, but that was harsh! and seriously OP, NO ONE would even THINK of screaming out they're son's name right before they are going to perform in a very crowded room with people he knows. if you were my mom i would dig a hole and bury myself in it until the year 2800
