Today, my parents tried to control my life and tell me what I can and cannot do, I'm going to college in 4 months and they insisted they Skype me the rules. FML

It would be funny to write down "those rules" and see how many of them you broke before coming home for winter break haha

Seeing as how your parents are probably paying for your education, perhaps showing them a little respect by at least listening to what they have to say would be the proper thing to do. Wanting to Skype took what? a half hour out of your life? That's not too high a price to pay for a great start in life that a billion other kids would love to have. You will be the one to profit from this wonderful gift they have given you - not them. You don't even have to do what they say, just show them some respect. Just my opinion.

Make sure to take lots of videos of you breaking every one of those rules that aren't illegal, then show it to them as soon as you graduate.

Today, my mom was snooping around my room, and found the unopened box of glow in the dark condoms I bought myself year ago. She laughed and said, "No takers yet, eh?" FML

Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML

Today, I woke up feeling ecstatic, because last night, my crush had told my best friend he likes me a lot. I sent him a text message telling him the feeling is mutual. A little while after sending it, it hit me that his confession had only been part of a dream. FML

Today, I was stepping out of the shower while home alone. I heard voices coming from the living room. I grabbed a bat to defend myself and ran into the living room. I slipped on my tile floor and smashed my TV with the bat. No one was in my house, but I'd left the radio on. FML

Today, my youngest son got lost while shopping. I was frantic, but my oldest son didn’t care, his opinion seemed to be "Who cares?" and "Quick, let’s leave before he turns up." He didn’t even unplug his earphones or look up from his phone. FML

Today, a customer got an additional discount, so his total came to $61. He said, "It says they're 3 for $66!” I tried to explain the discount, saying it’s cheaper, but he still insisted on paying $66. I couldn’t modify the price at my end. He left without buying anything. FML
