Today, my mom took a bright red sharpie and drew a red circle just above my breasts. She said, "If I can see this, ever, your shirt is either too low cut or too see through and it will be thrown away." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, to avoid walking on a thumbtack that had fallen on the floor, my little sister took a red sharpie to the carpet and drew a circle around it, "so that way, everyone will see it." FML
Today, my mom and I were looking at dresses for me at the mall. The cashier pointed out a dress, and my mom said, "She's definitely not going to fit into that. She's too flat-chested." FML
Today, my six year old daughter cut out the stomach area of four of my favorite shirts. When I asked her why she had done so she replied, "So that they fit your tummy better, Mommy." FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I must find a gentle way to tell my 71-year-old mother that she's too old to be wearing shirts that expose her belly. FML
Today, I had a rubber band around my wrist for too long, and it ended up leaving faint red marks around my wrist. My mom saw them, thought they were scars, and is now convinced I'm a cutter, "like the ones I've seen on the news," and won't believe my story. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Today, I found an invisible ink pen. I drew on my arms, thinking nobody would see it. I had an allergic reaction to the ink, and I now have three very large, very visible, red penises on my forearm. FML
Today, my mom said I should start wearing push up bras to make myself look better. I was wearing one when she said that. FML
Today, my mom called me a slut after she found out I sleep naked. This is how desperate she is for any excuse to yell at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why would you let her go near your breasts with a sharpie?

How did you let her finish the entire circle? How did you not see her coming with a bright sharpie. Your mother must be a ninja.

its funny how people get so worked up over clothing we now live in a time with types of birthcontrol which helps protect from pregnancy so more girls can affored to dress more reaveling the whole of not dress what some call "slutty" was to help prevent pregnancy in a way of lowering sexual atraction when there werent any forms of birthcontrol other than abstinance i think parents should let their children dress the way that they feel is right not press YOUR morals onto them

It's funny how all of the smart & mature people are on the moms side & the immature & naive kids are on the daughters side. =)

It's funny how people still think that the way you dress is in any way indicative of your morals or lack thereof.

'Kids and even adults need parameters.' I agree. But, when your kid start to grow up and start to get an own personality, it's not right to be a dominant parent. I don't mean that parents shouldn't make rules (because they definitely should, kids and teenagers need rules to feel safe, to have rest, to create a good moral...), but that they don't force their rules violently on their teenage kids. Shouting, beating, throwing stuff away... versus having an enlightening conversation where you act respectful towards your kids, and where you explain your point of view whilst trying to understand theirs. With democratic parenting I don't mean that parents should be wussies. Just a little bit more understanding and a little bit less (verbal) aggresive.

Last comment on the subject for me. No one was talking about beating the children, it wasn't even mentioned in the FML. It is legal ( in the US), for parents to use a 'reasonable amount' of force to maintain control and discipline, whether or not a parent chooses to do so is up to them. I believe that your point of view is motivated from your age and location, so I understand, but when you become a parent you may see that having a conversation may not be enough. This parent was providing a clear example of what is expected of the daughter. While she may or may not have purchased the items is irrelevant, unless a child is emancipated, they are economically dependent on the parent. My parents would bag up my possessions if I did not clean my room. They would remove the door if I slammed it or snuck out. They had conversations with me first, and when that didn't work, followed through with the consequences. Obviously the daughter was not wearing appropriate clothes, and her mom set out expectations, and laid down a consequence of choosing not to follow through. It doesn't need to be a big moral question.

'They had conversations with me first, and when that didn't work, followed through with the consequences.' Now we are on the same line! I completely agree with you. It's just that in my experiences (and my own childhood), many parents immediately start with threatening, verbal intimidation, punishment, scolding...without having the decent (!) conversations. And that's where I'm completely against.
