Today, my dad explained to me the "chain of command" for our house. McKinley, Mom, himself, Charlie, then me. McKinley is my two year old daughter and Charlie is the dog. He was dead serious. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I realised my dad speaks to me the same way he speaks to my dog when she's done something bad. FML
Today, I was woken up by my dad and my dog barking at each other, and my dad yelling, "I am the Alpha male!" FML
Today, I noticed that my dad scolds me in the same tone of voice that he uses to scold our two dogs. Gives a whole new meaning to being treated like a dog. FML
Today, I went on a run with the family dog. I returned home to three missed calls and a hysterical voicemail from my dad. Why? The dog was gone. Not me, his 15 year-old daughter, the dog. FML
Today, my dad called my by the family dog's name, and stared at me blankly as if struggling to remember my name when I was annoyed. FML
Today, my Dad told me that I was named after the dog he accidentally shot in the head as a teenager. FML
Today, my mom confessed to loving my "little sister" more than she loves me. My "little sister" is the family dog. FML
Today, I was awoken by a conversation my mom was having with my dog upstairs. She was telling my dog that a ghost lives in our house. She was completely serious. The ghost even has a name and a backstory. FML
Today, my husband informed me that his father adopted a dog. I replied "Cool," he then said, "She happens to have your name." I think my father in law is trying to send me a message. FML
Today, I was laying my head on my dad's dog when he walked in. I jokingly asked my dad, "I'm cuddling with your dog, are you jealous?" At that same moment, the dog lets a massive, earth-quaking fart loose, and my dad promptly responded, "Nope!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't see a problem with the name.

most likely you were probably being an pain- in-the-ass and he was trying to make a point. I'm sure this wouldn't be much of an FML, but an YDI if we all heard the whole story.

If you're living with your parents and YOU have a toddler, than you are absolutely on the bottom of the list. Not because you have a child, but because you're imposing the rearing duties of that child on your parents, and I'd presume you're not paying rent, either. Also, when you have a toddler, the toddler's needs are on the top of the list regardless, which puts them at the top of the pecking order.

Did anyone think that maybe the parents invited her to live with them?

I completely disagree with expecting your parents to raise your children, but who says that's what this OP is doing? Or that she even has the choice to live elsewhere? It's quite possible to share a house, yet still raise your own child, even if you aren't paying rent. Sounds to me like the grandparents might be the ones imposing on her authority and responsibilities in this situation.

You're a single mom still living at home... I can guess who takes care of the baby most of the time and it isn't you. YDI for not growing up and learning to take responsibility for yourself.

I can see both sides. Of course, we don't know the full story. OP might be a teenage/young adult brat who is imposing on her parents and is going off and getting drunk or stoned while they watch the child she so foolishly had. OR, she might be a young woman who is struggling- perhaps she lost her SO, or she became severely ill for a long time, or the child has needs making it difficult to leave her under the care of anyone less trustworthy than family. We just don't know. I personally think it is more likely the former, because of the dad's words, but he just might be a jerk.
