Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I told my mom that I think I'm lactose intolerant, and that I should go to the doctor to get checked out. She said that I was probably just gassy, and then ordered us a pizza for dinner. FML
Today, my mother offered me some chocolate milk. I took a few gulps before I realized the label said it was raw unpasteurized milk. When I pointed this out to my mother, she asked me what pasteurization is. We might get sick because my mother is the most horrifically ignorant and out-of-touch person on earth. FML
Today, my mom has forbidden me from drinking skim milk, because my sister is upset that I'm skinnier than her. The same sister who refuses to drink any other milk than 2% chocolate. FML
Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML
Today, in public, one of my mom's friends asked me how on earth did I get so tall. My mom happily scampered to my side and shrieked, "TWO YEARS OF BREAST MILK!" FML
Today, my mom was on the phone when she decided to blurt out that she got me probiotics for my stomach issues. FML
Today, I found out my mom put breast milk in my cereal until I was 7 years old. FML
Today, my mom took medical advice from her friend over mine. Her friend sells cheese and I'm a pharmacist. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my 12-year-old daughter because my ex-wife thought she could cure our daughter's lactose intolerance by sneaking milk into her soy breakfast. The milk had expired. FML
Today, I saw my mom changing the expiry date on milk. She genuinely thought this would make the milk sour later. FML

How can your mom not know this? Especially if she was the one that changed you diapers when you were a youngster and most likely given dairy.

Either buy your own lactose free milk or if she insists you drink her milk take Lactaid when you drink milk, eat ice cream…

Your mom and my mom would get along just fine. My mom thinks I can get cancer if I skip meals. Talk about trying to scare me into eating properly. This probably would have worked on me if I was you know if I still 5.

Milk isn't even good for your bones though.

the irony is in how milk being good for your bones is actually a myth

Actually cows milk doesn't build up bones at all. Just a marketing myth itself.

My toilet is proof lactose intolerance is real. :( I suffer for what I love.

Considering ignoring lactose intolerance can eventually lead to organ failure, I wouldn't take it so lightly.

Right up there with anti-vaxers with her ability to use logic and listen to what the professionals have to say.
