Today, I got sick at school. When someone called my mom for permission for me to leave, she told them she doesn't have a daughter and to never call that number again. FML
thealaskanyoung tells us more.
Hey, OP here. Let me get this straight: my mother is not abusive. She just has a sense of humor! The lady who called was just taken aback for a second before my mom clarified. She's just a character, in no way abusive. Y'all are ridiculous.

maybe they called the wrong number?

Wow that's rough. Though what if they got the wrong number? I think that would explain a lot.

Maybe it was a wrong number? I'm sure your mother didn't mean to be insensitive or that she doesn't care that you're sick.

Am I the only one who thinks this is hilarious? Most people have caller ID these days and op's mom had to see it was the school. Op's mom is trolling the school like a boss.

Umm not really. OP said "someone" called her mom to tell her she was sick. That someone could be a teacher or someone from the school administration. It's very likely for her NOT to know who's calling. I'm sure she didn't have EVERY teacher's number. Furthermore, I'm very much convinced that it was a wrong number as OP's mother wouldn't really have said those things and would've gotten OP from school. Even if she wouldn't, she wouldn't deny the fact that she's her daughter.

#17 why would a teacher use their own phone? every time someone i know has been sick and needs permission to go home, they are generally in the sick bay (or whatever anyone else calls it), and the person in the office or whomever is taking care of the sick person calls the parent using the schools phone. you also cant say what the OPs mother would and wouldnt do. what if the OP has used excuses such as these before, & the mother was sick of it or thought she was lying?

Schools tend to have a main number and teachers phones tend to have extensions. So it would be the same number.

Sick bay? Are you from Star Trek? It's called a nurses office.

#30 no, i am most definitely NOT from star trek. do you not realise that different places may call it something other than you do? given that where i am and all the schools i went too, a nurse never actually worked in there. it was just someone taking care of you who had basic first aid training, so please refrain from being rude towards my terminology.

#30 Other schools call it other things. Way to be rude, especially when they said they understand others call it other things.

#13 called it

#30, Sick Bay, Nurse's Office, and Infirmary are the three most common terms for it.

If they called the right number, your mom should just pick you up from school and not deny the point she has a daughter. If they called the wrong number, then I can see why. One way or another, FYL.

Make sure next time she's ill to pointedly ignore her illness. I dealt with my parents forcing me to go to school because I was "faking" with 100 degree fever and throwing up. I once was so ill that a teacher had to bring me home because my parents refused to come get me. I'm definitely biased on this issue, but if they didn't call the wrong number, seriously make it clear to your mom that if she doesn't care about your health, you don't care about her. That sort of behavior is damaging mentally and physically, bordering on abuse and often linked to other abusive behavior.

This sounds like this girl I went to school with. She had a freaking grand mal seizure and spent the morning in the ER. Her parents brought her to school and hour before we got out. They had a meeting with the principal to get it off her record so she could keep her prefect attendance record, the school went with it because it was field day.

if she was known to be epileptic she can go back in as soon as she can walk again. It doesn't really do much except make you dizzy once you wake up.

57, if you have epilepsy and it's that easy, I ******* envy you so much. I can barely function for a few hours after due to being disoriented, sore, shaky, nauseous and suffering from a massive migraine. Trying to get through the next day is extremely difficult and I know I couldn't do same day. It is not the same for everyone so you have no idea what state she was in after her seizure.
