Today, it's been one week since my demented grandma babysat my five-year-old daughter while my husband took me to a fancy restaurant. Now she's taken to screaming and calling me a "damn commie" whenever I discipline or say no to her. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my psycho grandma yelled at me for being an "immature brat" by not offering to wash the dishes after dinner. I reminded her that when I offered last time, she raged at me for being "condescending." She responded by faking a heart attack and getting me indefinitely grounded. FML
Today, after my mom moved our senile grandma in with us rather than find her a care home, she wakes up screaming at least once a night, and usually screams for a good few minutes. Then this morning she started throwing plates at me because she thought I was a criminal. It's only been four days. FML
Today, I informed my daughter-in-law that I’m a granny, not an unpaid, on-call 24/7 babysitter, and no, I will not be babysitting her kids all day so she can go to an all-day brunch with her similarly selfish girlfriends. She threw an actual tantrum and threatened to put me in a home. FML
Today, my babysitter called to inform me that my grandfather is stalking her. FML
Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my senile grandma, when I told her I had to go because I had an appointment at the clinic. For some reason, she assumed I was talking about an abortion clinic, and started raging at me and calling me a murderer. FML
Today, my grandma is refusing to talk to me because I didn't answer her phone calls while we were at a parade. I was in it. FML
Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, I'm spending time with my granny, with whom I'm supposed to live with for a few weeks. I've noticed that she repeats the last word of every sentence I say, and now I'm wondering how it's possible for me to now be so horrible that I want to punch a sweet 92-year-old lady in the head. FML

atleast she doesn't curse you out.

The word "Damn" can be considered a curse word in this case, as it is a derogatory phrase her daughter is saying.. "damn commie" which is extremely offensive language
DLBL 23
right, because commies are absolute demons. It's a big insult.

when the hell did everybody get so sensitive. . .

Right? They shrink in horror from "DXXX Commie" but throw insults like "Hater" and horrid historical figures to others willy nilly without remorse.
olpally 33
I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not with that comment, hence the reason I explained it was a curse word in this case.

You know, if you think about it, the vague wording of this FML means it could be going either way. "Now my daughter calls me a commie whenever I discipline my daughter" "Now my grandma calls me a commie whenever I discipline my daughter" I'm going with the former, but still, it could actually go either way.

A Gulag is real and no it's not a giant old castle it's a huge work camp/prison for regular and criminally insane inmates.
noncom 12
#63 Actually a gulag, if my terminology is correct, was a generic term for a Russian prison where the Russian government kept political prisoners and traitors to Russia.
Blackmail111 9
A gulag was where anyone no matter traitor,politician or criminal was kept there to work to death. In other words it was like a detention centre.

I foresee many spoiled children in your future.
LookOnBrightSide 12
4-How did you determine that? There was nothing in the FML indicating that. How are you making such assumptions? Not trying to sound condescending, but I just want to know how you determined that.
BeccaHugs 17
23 - If she doesn't want the kids to scream and make a scene, she won't be able to say no...therefore her kids will get whatever they want; they'll be spoiled.
Hopes_Reprimand 6
Or she could find a more productive manner of dealing with her children.. such as dealing with the tantrums and foul language right from the start. Giving in isn't the only solution when you don't want your child to scream.

if I was ever flipping out in a store or something when I was a toddler my mom would just dot there and watch me and say, "are you done?" people looked at her like she was crazy, but it was effective in most cases

Nobody likes a grammar Nazi
DKjazz 20
Nobody likes a grammar commie either. A, uh, grommie? Eh.
wisese 0
Au contraire, if nobody liked grammar Nazis, they would cease to exist. Making excuses for your blatant ignorance or flat out disregard for common, basic English usage is really distasteful.

I'm sure nobody likes aids but it doesn't just "cease to exist" if your logic were correct maybe the world would be a nicer place
Marcelb 17
59 - Actually he/she was right. Your comparison with aids on the other hand, was nonsense. A disease has nothing to do with people's opinion. If nobody (emphasis on nobody) would have liked grammar nazi's , then they would not have existed as the people that are now grammar nazi's wouldn't have chosen to be grammar nazi's. Because they didn't like those, because nobody would. Ergo, your argument is invalid.

so many big words..
bfsd42 20
67, your argument is flawed. Nobody likes an asshole but they still exist. People easily and often become something they don't like.

Kids say the craziest things nowadays.

I can feel this one getting thumbed to hell.
GoW_Chick 15
I agree with this comment, and let's face facts kids are getting worse because parenting just isn't the same anymore, you can do this or that, be their friend, you shouldn't spank your child instead put them in "timeout," don't yell at them because they need "positive" reinforcement blah blah blah bullshit.
Michael_92 20
@Ms.GoW... Yea that is totally true. I can't believe the way kids act. My kids might not learn to spell from me but they will learn to respect every person. Thats whats missing is respect; everyone thinks their better than everyone else. Just isn't the case.
lexa1love 16
@32 Right? I used to get beat with a wooden spoon. I cannot stand the way some children act.
Blackmail111 9
Beating your kid when they do something is a bad idea nowadays. If you hit them or yell at them, they'll do the same thing or something worse just to spite you. If you sit them down and tell them why it's wrong and the consequences it could cause then they'll listen to you.
FiasCudi 0
emphasis on "could".
Michael_92 20
Your kids will only react that way if you let them. If you spank your kid and he reacts and tries to get back at you then spank him again and let him know that you can't act like that.
Blackmail111 9
If you keep spanking them then they will do things even worse because they'll start hating you. If I slapped you for littering you would retaliate and not learn anything. If I told you why it's wrong and what could happen then you'd probobaly think. That's the way I was raised and I know my rights and wrongs and I was able to make good decisions. .

61- I got beat with a metal spoon. 1UP!

Your comment makes me angry. Of course you shouldn't hit your kid! Positive reinforcement is a good thing! Time-outs are way more effective than giving them a spanking! Look at the facts: teenage crime has gone down a lot in recent years.

my brother got suspended at the age of 6 because my mom tried the "positive reinforcement" craps. after that she gave him a few good smacks on his bottom. been an Angel ever since

I feel sorry for the "demented grandma", why does she have to take care of a kid when someone should take care of her?

school is going to be fantastic for her.
