Today, I woke up feeling ill. My mom sent me to school anyway, and grounded me for "lying" about being sick. As soon as I got to school, I began vomiting blood. FML

Today, I had food poisoning and woke up early in the morning to vomit. My mom emailed all of my teachers saying that I would be late to school because of "morning sickness". Thanks mom. FML

Today, I spat up blood and had horrible chest pain. My mom still made me go to school, claiming she needed to take the cat to the vet instead of taking me to the doctor. FML

Today, as usual, without fail, every time I wake up earlier than 10 AM, I vomit blood. No doctor can figure out why, and my parents think I'm lying, spoiled little princess who just wants to be lazy and sleep in every day. If I don’t wake up at 6 AM every day from now on, I’m grounded. FML

Acting out

By itsgotime - 20/03/2009 06:11 - United States

Today, I was running to my car, slipped, and slammed my head on the car door. I started driving to the hospital because it was bleeding profusely and I was dizzy, I called my mom to tell her what had happened. She said I was grounded for "goofing off" and that she was "sick of my shit". FML

Today, I had a stomach virus. I tried to make myself throw up to feel better. My long nails sliced open my throat from the inside, and I threw up blood. FML

Today, I told my mom that I'd vomited blood. She simply said, “Good” and went back to watching TV. FML

Today, my brother and I got food poisoning because of the shady chicken subs we ate last night. Our mom thinks we're faking it and sent us to school anyway. I'm coming to you live from a school toilet while missing a test. FML

Today, I was leaving school to get tested for peptic ulcers, because my stomach has been hurting for a few months. To wish me luck, one of my friends gave me a friendly punch in the stomach. I threw up blood. FML

Today, I wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. FML

Today, I was woken up to my mother screaming obscenities at me, all because I threw up last night after days of not feeling well, and the flushing of the toilet afterwards woke her up. FML

Be sure to mention what your mother did to the emergency room doctors and your teachers.

Could be. Could also be that OP's mom was actually poisoning OP in attempt to avoid the expenses of childcare. There's room for a lot of possibilities when you inject baseless speculation into an FML.

OMG! I hope you're okay and it's nothing too serious. I mean I could see your mom's side if you have tried faking sick one to many times. But if not what the **** is wrong with her?!?! I would assume that you looked pretty pale if you were that sick.

Lucky for you! You’re not really going to miss anything by getting grounded; you’ll be home sick anyway. You’re welcome.

I don’t know how you managed that, but you certainly should get “ungrounded!” Nice trick!

I’d like to chalk this up to ignorance, but I don’t know.

Oh boy. You have a Hispanic mother, OP? My mom thought I was faking it when I had pain near my stomach and couldn't barely walk. Appendix was close to bursting when I got to the hospital. There's something about mom's not believing their kids lol

I'm 29 and when I called my mom about whether I should go to the ER for abdominal pain she was skeptical as to whether I needed to and thought I was being overdramatic. I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery.
