Today, my parents held a big family dinner at our house. Being the only underage person there, I had to sit there while everyone got progressively drunker and started commenting on how eerily similar I look to Shamu the whale. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my friends call me 'Shamu the whale' behind my back. FML
Today, my family went to Seaworld. When we got there, my dad sarcastically told me not to get lost, because I might get mistaken for Shamu. FML
Today, I had a family get-together for my birthday. I got to watch all my family members get piss-drunk and argue over who's having the worst time. FML
Today, my whole family was sitting in the kitchen. My sister was stoned and passed out in our dog's bed. My dad was drunk, yelling, "Who's your daddy?" at his plate of barbecued meat, and my mom just sat there with that, "What the hell happened to my life?" look on her face. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
Today, I overheard my mum tell my sister that she should make me a bridesmaid at her wedding. My sister scoffed, "She looks like Shamu, mum. I can't have THAT in my wedding pics." followed by laughter and my mum saying, "Touché." FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His father was completely wasted, his mom was high, and his 11-year-old sister was talking about her favorite alcoholic drinks at the dinner table. FML
Today, my dad got drunk at a party and flashed me and my friends. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have dumped water all over them and told them they were in the splash zone

I think it's really sad that people see "underage drinking" as this horrible thing. Guess what, drinking to get drunk in general is bad whether you're 16, 21, or 40, and THAT's what's wrong with people. And it doesn't do any harm to have a drink with family, that's just silly. With your logic, I hope YOU never have kids.

Here in the UK the drinking age limit in your own home with adults present is 5....

Well here in 'Murica, we get ridiculously shitfaced regardless of legal limits:p

Yeah, you can officially drink at your own home from the age of 5, but unless you want a visit from child services, you better watch it...

I'm not suggesting everyone should be liberal with alcohol with their little ones, I'm merely pointing out that it is very normal for children of the household to drink with parents, say, on special occasions. Only a glass, mind! This means the children don't go nuts and binge when they finally are legal outside of the house.

Sorry OP!! Hopefully they apologized after they sobered up!

Once they got drunk enough, you should have joined in

I'd rather be Shamu the whale than being drunk at a family party.

You didn't have to stay. Why didn't you get up and leave the room?

What a bunch of drunk assholes. Should spike their drinks with Vicodin or something :)

At least you were a good person and didn't sneak a couple of drinks. I applaud you for doing so! Most teenagers don't have the self control you have.
