Today, in front of a bunch of people on my college campus, my mom grabbed my hand and lead me across the street. I'm 20. FML

Today, my mom walked me to school to make sure I don't cut class. I'm 20 years old. FML
Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Winn-Dixie. I told her I was going to a different isle 5 minutes later I hear my name on the intercom to go to the front of the store. As I go I see my mom crying, she comes and hugs me and tells me she thought I was lost. Im 22, I had my cell phone, and I drove there. FML
Today, my mom rolled up the car window on my fingers. She thought my yelling and crying was because I was throwing a tantrum. I'm 26. FML
Today, my mom called 5 times and I didn't pick up due to being in class at college. I was later called to the front desk, where my mom was crying. She said she was worried about me because I didn't say "I love you" to her after she dropped me off at college. FML
Today, I noticed a young child wandering out onto a busy street. I managed to grab his arm just as he stepped off the sidewalk and yank him away from almost certain death. My reward was his mother, who was on her cell phone the whole time, screaming at me for touching her child. FML
Today, my father was helping me move into college. When we arrived, the students helping people move in mistook me for one of the parents. I’m 19. FML
Today, I was going out to buy some stuff from the store. As I was leaving, my mom warned me to tie my shoelaces; I told her not to worry about it. As I'm walking down the street, I see my crush walking towards me. As I get closer and say hi, I trip on my shoelaces and face-plant into her chest. FML
Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going swimming with friends. She told me, in front of them, not to go into the deep end unless there was an adult around because I'm not old enough to swim on my own. I'm 19. FML

Agreed. This reminds me of a friend of mine whose mother threw her sweet sixteen at celebration station, a kiddie arcade restaurant. My friend just smiled and thanked her rather than hurt her feelings. This really isn't that big of a deal.

Except that when you're 20, you're expected to take care of yourself, which includes walking across the street. When you're 16, nothing is expected of you past homework. There's a fine line there. If my Mom did that, I'd rip my hand away, look at her like she was crazy, and speedwalk to the car. I garuntee that everyone who was there thought that there was something wrong with him.

@ #36 - Surely by doing that you would've made yourself look much worse, as not only does it show that public signs of affection embarrass you, but you're making a scene about it as well. The whole idea reeks of 13-16 year old "I'm hormonal and rebelling against my parents".

20 ? Big deal .. huh .. you don't deserve the love and care from your mom. I'm 30 and would be glad if my mom hold my hand and guide me whenever I cross any street in front of anyone as long as my hands are free. F**k your college campus, you won't be there without your mom.

#37 Public signs of affection? This wasn't a hug, this was walking someone across the street. Maybe you live in some strange country where your mom grabbing your hand to walk with you across the street is a sign of affection rather than a sign she thinks you might get run over if you walk by yourself.

Thank you, #37! This is less about showing affection to one's mother and more about a condescending gesture that implies that you can't take care of yourself. My mother still calls me every week to try to tell me what to eat, how to exercise and that I should try not to get run over by cars, because "if she didn't tell me, I wouldn't know better".

#36: I think that reaction is a bit extreme, I probably would have let go of her hand but wrapped her arm around my neck and wrapped my arm around her waist, that way it would look like we're walking lovingly together, and not like she was guiding me.

Lol, Nord pas de Calasis again. Am I just insane and my mind is playing tricks on me or what?

Well, seeing as how Nord-Pas-de-Calais is something like the fourth most populated region in France, I don't see how this is so surprising.

I was noticing the same thing. Messed up, man.
rutzy342 0
Yeah, but it comes up at least 10 times more than other regions in France. Soooo...

Ha glad you noticed that as well. I'm French and knew the French website before that one, but I'm quite surprised by the number of FML coming from Nord Pas de Calais. And believe me, it's far from being the most populated & famous region in France. :)

Aww, she loves you! How is that an FML? My mom holds my hand every once in a while.
