Today, my mother dragged me to the mall to get me out of the house and to get me to stop using my phone. She then spent the whole trip talking on her phone instead of actually interacting with me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, my mom told me to stop using my phone and talk to them, but whenever I do that, they just end up yelling at me and telling me to go to my room. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my mother lectured me for not spending enough time with her. We literally just got back from a 10 day vacation together. FML
Today, I once again used my phone to get out of a conversation with someone, instead of actually talking to someone on it. FML
Today, it's again one of many times my mom dropped me off at the mall to hang out with friends. Since I have no friends, I shop by myself and always tell her I had "so much fun". FML
Today, I was getting ready to go out with my family. As I was putting my phone in my purse, my father told me I wouldn't need it because we were going to spend 'quality time' together. The entire time I was there, everyone was staring at their phone. I was the only one without one. FML
Today, my mum had no legitimate reason to have her daily yell at me, so she resorted to bitching me out for putting her phone on charge after it started beeping with a low battery warning. FML
Today, my mother stormed into my room shouting about how I never go anywhere and then tells me to go out "NOW" and do something. As she is pushing me out the door, her boyfriend walks in. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When my family goes out to eat, we put our phones in the centre of the table face down. The first one to check their phone pays for dinner

I know the feels. I can't have my phone at the kitchen table because it is family time, but literally everyone else can have it because they are working on the "family business." We own a martial arts school and my family can't survive 2 hours without atleast being on the social media for it.

She took the phrase, "Do as I say, not as I do" too far

Most likely to show you how she normally feels when you do the same on a daily basis!

I guess that was a lesson from her then how it is when you're on the phone all the time at home,maybe!
