Today, my mom spelled my name with all lowercase letters. When I asked her why she wrote it like that, she got pissed and snapped back, "Capitals are for people who amount to something." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom asked me why MS Word keeps underlining some words. After I tried to convince her that you're supposed to put a space after commas, she started yelling at me for making her look stupid. I can never win. FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, my mom got mad at me because I wouldn't write to Ellen Degeneres about her. She now won't talk to me. FML
Today, I had to listen to my mother painstakingly spell out to me why broken glass is extremely dangerous. Feeling insulted, I jokingly asked her if she thought I was "retarded". I then got yelled at for "swearing." I'm a fucking adult, but my overprotective and condescending mother seems to think otherwise. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, my mom called me crazy and told me she wanted to put me in a mental hospital. She did this after repeatedly hitting me with a shoe. Why? Because I forgot to put the cap back on the toothpaste. FML
Today, my mom duly informed me I'm the reason people have middle fingers. FML
Today, my mom put me in an anger management class because I said "crap." FML
Today, after 26 years of confusion with my parents pronouncing it different ways, and in my mom's case, multiple ways, having to clear up how it's spelled every time I meet someone, I asked my mom how to pronounce my name. She got mad and then pronounced it three different ways while explaining. FML
Today, I wrote a poem and was very proud of it. I showed it to my mom. After reading it, her response was, "What is this shit?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow isn't your mother a kind nurturing and supportive woman? NOT!!!! How rude and unkind.

Wow....What a bitch. Don't give in to her snappy, negative attitude. With one like that, she sounds like she didn't amount to much herself.

Ok devils advocate here meby op is a 30 year old living in the basement of his / her mom and won't work or even try to do anything but I'm shure this isn't the case as it NEVER is. Or the other side of this is their mother is an absolute moron and is attempting to degrade op to make her own pointless life seem like it's ment something

No matter how bad someone's life is the one person that should always be optimistic about that person is his mother. 9months aint no joke.

#33, I'm not so sure about that. If the scenario was the same as #27 describes (which has actually been the case in another FML) and the son/daughter shows no sign of changing their ways it might be necessary to give them a harsh wake up call in the hopes of them turning their lives around. There's a difference between being optimistic and being in denial, and the latter isn't good for anyone.
