Kids: Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after...

Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after driving around to build up hours for his permit. He then decided it was a good idea to quickly drive over to catch a Pokemon nearby. He didn't count on getting pulled over for texting and driving while underage without an adult though. FML

Today, I was giving my son a driving lesson. He blatantly ran a red light, so I told him to pull over to let me drive us home. As I walked over to the driver-side door, he instead locked me out and drove off by himself. FML

Highway code

Today, my son got pulled over for speeding. His excuse? The speed limit signs “aren’t posted often enough,” so he “forgot” what the limit was. I raised this dumbass. FML

Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML

Today, I actually heard my 14 year old son muse to himself, "If I can drive drunk in Grand Theft Auto, how hard could it be in real life?" FML

Today, I let my 19-year-old son drive my Lexus to his date. At 11:00 p.m., I watched him pull into the driveway with a broken taillight, marks and scratches all over the car, the front bumper missing, and him being nearly passed out because he's so drunk. FML

Today, I let my son drive us home. After just 10 feet, he crashed into a parked cop car. It was my squad car. FML

ADHD is a curse

By Anonymous - 11/06/2023 10:00

Today, my teen son's ADHD is so bad that he wandered off WITH my car key and WITHOUT his phone, so I had to get a lift to our family event. When we got back, he was sat watching TV and asked me where I’d been all day. It took everything I had not to scream in his face, "YOUR SISTER'S FUCKING WEDDING!" FML

Today, and in the past week since became a full-time dad to my 16 year-old son, he's got caught sneaking out at night, lost his virginity, and I had to call the cops because he was caught trying to go two states over to be with said girl. I think he's trying to make me look bad. FML

Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML

He doesn't deserve a permit yet. Take away all driving rights and the phone.

I had to take over driving for my mom, sometimes I wish I didn't give up my freedom as a passenger so easily.

As much as your life sucks OP I have to ask... What pokemon was it?

Hopefully he's learned the hard way about being on his phone while driving.

Don't know about Illinois, but that would mean a year delay in getting his license, and potentially 6 mo. in Juvee, and a $1000 find.

1. What a dumbfuck. I hope he gets properly punished. 2. How did he even know where to go? (with PokeVision disabled and all). Because if he can see the Pokemon on his map he can just tap it. No reason to drive there.

Well, he can wait until he's 16. Then see if he's so stupid still.

Y'all he could've been paying attention and driving up to it with the phone in one hand while looking at the road. I was using the gps on my phone once when I got pulled over for texting and driving. I'm not saying I'm condoning playing Pokemon and driving, I'm just saying that we don't know the whole story.
