religiunatic · 13 December 2013, 17:09 ·Keswick, Canada You OK hon? Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language."

KC. · 25 April 2012, 20:06 ·Cambridge, United Kingdom Ironic, isn't it? Today, I got into an argument with my mother, when she snapped and called me a son of a bitch. I said that made no sense, because I'm a girl, and it'd only really confirm that she's a bitch. She then grounded me for insulting her.

Red Toad · 27 December 2020, 04:59 ·Litchfield Park, United States Holiday assumptions Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her.

Can't be mad · 21 January 2023, 12:00 Cool your jets Today, I was a little grumpy. I tried my best to not take it out on other people, but then I encountered that ONE person who doesn't realize that sometimes people are just in a bad mood, and they proceed to give you a hard time over nothing. That person was my mom. And then later my dad. Now I'm grounded. FML I agree, your life sucks 608 You deserved it 358 2 comments Share

"****" is vile? I'm sure there are some FML commenters here who could show her what vile language really is.
