Today, a woman accused me of bullying her son, and said that she is going to get me fired. Her son is a 27-year-old teacher at my school, whom I disciplined for showing up drunk. FML

Today, a student told me to "F*** off!" I reported it to my boss and the student's parent, who is also a teacher at the school. My boss deemed it a minor issue and said we wouldn't be following discipline policy. Now, my boss frequently visits my classroom to bully me, likely due to the two of them being drinking buddies.

Today, my son's "favorite" teacher went on a tirade criticizing my "awful" parenting. About two months ago, my son got her fired after he reported her to the principal for forcing him to miss out on lunch to finish a project. Apparently, that wasn't the first time she did something like that. FML

Today, I grounded my son after finding out that he's been bullying other kids at school. He got mad and screamed at me, calling me a "bastard". Instead of defending me, my wife got pissed and accused me of having taught our son to swear like that. I can never win. FML

Kids will be kids

Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML

Today, my son, who to my great shame is a typical bully, was suspended for bullying a disabled girl. Her father must have been the biggest, meanest, most tattooed ex-marine I've ever seen. He blamed me for bad parenting, and I actually peed myself a little in fear, which he saw too. FML

Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

Thanks Mom

Today, my school sent me an email saying I would be transferred to another class this Monday. I told my mom about it. Turns out my drunk mom ran into my teacher at a bar and started berating her for being at the bar, instead of grading her “kid’s exam already.” I’m a high school senior. FML

Today, as a teacher, I saw a younger boy kick an older boy in the crotch and I reported it in our online system. Despite typical consequences for violence (automatic suspension), the department head, a drinking buddy of the boy's parents, gave him only a single detention. Now, the department head is harassing me for reporting the incident. FML

Today, a furious woman stormed into my job, demanding to know why I fired her precious baby boy. I explained that watching porn on the clock is grounds for termination. She screamed that I was lying about him and that she’ll see me in court for slandering him. I had to call the cops to make her leave. FML

Today, at work, a man punched me in the face because he said I took his son's job. He meant both me and his son applied for the same job. He also asked to speak to my boss, because he thinks I "cheated." FML

You should get a restraining order against her. She's clearly out of her mind.

Why would OP sue? You sound like a sue happy person. restraining order at most, problem solved. God, people nowadays are ******* sick for money. "You're mad at me for disciplining your son?! How dare you! Give me $20,000 dollars"

You gotta love helicopter parents. I mean, late 20s are still formative years in a child's development.

If you did nothing wrong, you Owe no explanations. He was drunk which isn't permissible at any job, much less a teaching job. Stand your ground... Old bat needs a cave!

Well, you do have all these ******** parents who insist everyone else is to blame except their little angels. Did you expect it to stop when the spoiled brats become adults, er, I mean, over-aged babies?

Because of various laws, doubt OP could outright fire said teacher unless he did something else while drunk, like fondle a student. Sigh, tough to be a principal with teachers like this and their parents.

I don't think firing him because he was drunk is the issue. I think PROVING he was drunk so she can fire him would be the issue. Its unlikely she has solid proof in the form of a test.

I could be wrong, but if it happened recently they can run alcohol tests because alcohol sticks around in your blood for a long time and increases your blood pressure. My mother is a nurse, i know a thing or two, but again, i could be wrong :)
