Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML

Today, I found out that whenever I send my son to his room, he goes on his iPod and buys the most expensive apps he can find. So far I've been charged $600. FML

Today, I went to my phone company and had my text history pulled. Why? Because a few days ago, my 4 year-old daughter told me that, "Daddy has a wife and a girlfriend." Turns out she was right. FML

Today, I found out that my cell phone bill was much higher than normal. After investigating, I realized that a text conversation I had with my stalker, telling him multiple times not to contact me anymore, was to an international cell phone. I have to pay to be stalked. FML

Today, I asked my friend to stop texting me, because I'm on a limited plan and didn't want to go over my limit. She responded by getting a group of her friends to text bomb me. I got well over a hundred one-word texts. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I was tired of his childishness and anger, so he decided to send me 540 random text messages of scrambled letters in order to mess up my phone as well, as make me pay 20 cents for each message. FML

Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML

Today, my oldest son answered my phone call much to my surprise as we haven't spoken in a year. The first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't mean to pick up the phone." He then hung up. FML

Today, I woke up to 7 texts about the data overage charges that were accrued last night while I slept. Apparently my phone used nearly 8 GB of data, with no apps open, while I was sound asleep, leaving me with a $63 fee. FML

Today, I was talking to a friend about how many germs live on the average cell phone. My five year old son apparently overheard me talking, and decided to give my cell phone a bath. FML

@299 I'm 15 too. Heres a few thoughts, 1.) learn to spell. 2.) cursing every other word doesnt make you cool, and it certainly doesnt give you that mature-beyond-my-age impression you were going for. 3.) Nobody wants to hear about your dumb religious beliefs. Nothings going to happen if someone has sex before their married. as long as he has safe sex he's fine 4.) Your advocating for invasion of privacy just makes you seem like that asshole snitch that nobody likes, who believes everything their parents tell them and take on all their values without questioning anything. So, somehow i doubt that your a better parent than half the parents out there. And i doubt you'll ever be, because chances are your never getting laid.

more like FMYSONSL... your son has a father who reads his texts, uses fml, and made his nick name "gangstalicious" also, its a little sad that when you find out that your 15 year old son has a lot of sex, you are mostly disappointed that he beat you... wadda douche..

@197 I stayed away from statements about whether it's right or wrong for teens to have sex, because that is apparently pretty evenly divided here as far as opinions go. My opinions are my own, and there would be no point to flaunt them here. What I *was* saying was that I think we can all agree that the kid needs a little discipline for going that much over his texting limit, if for no other reason.

C'MON PEOPLE. He's paying the bill so he has a freaking right to "be nosy" and i'm sure it's a bunch of teenagers saying that. T-mobile can get/ send you transcripts of texts sent if you ask for it. From experience,don't. They charge for them and that shit is thicker than those manuals that come with a phone. Also as someone who would rather text than call someone or talk to someone sitting across from me, it really is not hard to rack up text messages. After I went over my limit with about 800, the payer was not amused and we had to get unlimited text message(it does wonders,OP) and it's affordable considering the alternative(19 dollars as opposed to 100 dollars if you're t-mobile user). Moral of the story: Either give your son an ADVANCED "birds and bees" talk with contraception and all that goodness OR expect him to drag a pregnant teenager home with him one of these days. You not having more sex than him IS NOT FML. You have jobs,kids and other things to keep your attention. As long as the love is there,you're peachy...

192, KEY QUESTION: IS YOUR MOM PAYING OR ARE YOU? Under some business laws, if she is,the phone is legally hers and she can legally snoop. Now if you're paying,feel free to flip. Until then,you either let your mom be or PAY FOR YOUR OWN PHONE. That's how the real world works!

Are you people ******* stupid? You don't HAVE privacy rights when you are fifteen, not from your parents. Legally, if they are paying for your phone they have a right to know everything on it. You can't say shit like, "I can't trust you if you go through my phone!" That's stupid. If there was nothing bad on your phone, it wouldn't matter if people checked it out. And WTF, it is NOT illegal for a parent to open their child's mail!

parents can be as nosy as they want if they're paying or the kids in their house, and yes all carriers have a way so you can read the actually messages... stupid other kids. I'm a kid I hope I never sound like as big of an idiot as the others on here saying YDI and parents should trust their kids... well obviouly the trust is undiserved if the 15 year old is having sex.
