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

No matter how old you are, moms see their kids as "their little boy/girl."

I'm 27 and still hold my mom's hand when we're walking places. She also happens to be my best friend.

Yay! I moderated this one. Anyways, OP. Not that bad. At least your mom is showing her affection for you.

If you're a big enough baby to whine about it, you're a big enough baby to have your hand held.

Oh, what a tragedy. Fourteen? Really? Big boy, you don't need your mommy's hand! I'm 20, almost 21. I miss my mom, a lot. I don't see her often, and we still hold hands sometimes, because I care about her, and she cares about me. I hope you don't lose your mom for a long time, but stop taking her for granted.

"omg im 14 and my mom still trys to do tht" She should, you're obviously not intelligent enough to look both ways.

@46 The problem isn't that OP and his mother held hands - it's that his mother apparently don't trust him enough to walk across the street by himself eventhough he's 20 years old. Holding hands walking down the street can be nice and a great way to show your mom that you care for her. But for her to grab his hand to lead him across the street is patronizing and understandably humiliating, when it's in front of people he attends school with.

Op here x3 SO glad to see my FML up hehee! Anyway, definitely not complaining (much). I love my mommy very much but I mean c'mon. I think I can manage to walk across the street by myself. I've made it three years on my own crossing countless streets and I've never been hit! Close calls, definately. Luckily, nobody I knew, that I know of, saw. Also, I'm not from France >.> I have no clue where that came from. I don't even know where Nord de....er...the rest of that is xD

Either you're not the OP or you lied in the OP, because you're not 20. Sad, both ways.

Ydi, she carried you in her womb for 9 months and you're ashamed of her. FYL

That is awful that you think this is an fml. Wait till your mom isn't around any more to hold your hand. Who cares if you're 20? She was showing that she cares.
