Today, my mom claimed that lactose intolerance is a "myth" and told me to drink my damn milk because it's good for my bones. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Peanut allergies are a myth too

Thank goodness my sister doesn't share the same beliefs, or my 3 year old nephew would probably have ended up in a very serious condition! Our poor Jake is allergic to almost everything it seems; milk, eggs, wheat, nuts & a lot more (even certain types of food-colouring can cause him to break out in hives all over). I'm not allergic to anything edible myself, but I know what it's like to be very sick. You could always meet your mom halfway by finding something else that is rich in calcium (or other vitamins/minerals that help strengthen bones); something that you feel that you can tolerate happily. =o)

I should show this to my friend who has a problem with dairy... He'd love to meet your mom. ?

Milk being good for your bones, that's the myth here.

Drinkimg milk can actually cause bones to fracture more easily. It's not natural to drink another species' milk.
