Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML

Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML

Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML

Today, my mother told me she's disappointed in me for not going to a better college, and that if I was in the top ten of my class that the rest of those ten must be really dumb. Fact is, I threw away the acceptance letters to Carnegie Mellon and Cornell because I didn't want her to have to pay. FML

Not missing out on much

By Anonymous - 30/05/2022 02:01

Today, my mom is obsessed with my academic success, as she was a highschool dropout, and actually gives me more homework than my school does, all so I’ll be more advanced than my peers. I barely know what a television is anymore, since it’s been so long I’ve had enough free time to watch one. FML

Don't listen to her... You are your own person. Is she going to pay all your bills & expenses?

W-What? I thought the internet valley girl thing was bad enough, but, damn, did you forget IT'S NOT YOUR LIFE? And the step-dad + rape shit is completely irrelevant to this FML. Why would you even say that?

Wow, that's just shitty. You should have fired back a witty remark. I can't of one right now though, so just stomp on her toe. It still gets the message across.

I'm sorry, apparently ur mom wants to keep the proud tradition of an unsuccessful family. Now u graduate with honors and when ur older and rich, laugh at her when u cross the street watching her begging for money.
