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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

That is double standards at its finest

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

Monkey see monkey do I guess you should be looking at herself to begin with when I put cell phones in the hands of children and computer games in hands of children and can't understand why they can't interact with everybody else

Seems you didn't get off the phone either.

Seems the world is full of arseholes. But there are more entertaining things in life than constantly updating fb or checking friends' tweets. Find something useful and awesome to fill those hours with.

Well at least she's talking, maybe your constant texting was annoying her? But if you're pretty young you should practice calling people instead of relying on texts all the time

Maybe she was trying to tell you something?

Maybe to show you how you are towards her?
