Today, my daughter's school called to inform me that I needed to bring her some sneakers. Not feeling like driving the 15 minutes to her school, I told them I was away from town. Then I realized I was on my house phone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, since I'm still recovering from my surgery and can't drive, my daughter drove me to the doctor. When I was done and walked outside, she was nowhere to be seen. Then I got a text, saying, "Sorry, I forgot I have to be somewhere." The closest bus stop to our house is miles away. FML
Today, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML
Today, I got a call from my kid’s school, saying my daughter had a minor accident on the playground. When they asked her who to call, she'd said, "My mom’s probably in a meeting. Call the pizza place, they always pick up." FML
Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML
Today, I went to work 300 miles away from where I live. I couldn't find my customer's address, so I decided to call him. I'd picked up my wireless house phone instead of my mobile. FML
Today, I made the long drive to work, got out of the car, and realised that I'd forgotten to put shoes on before I left the house. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my daughter asked me if I could have the kids overnight, even though I’d babysat all day, all because she just got home and was too tired to make the drive to pick them up. She only lives two minutes away. I can see her house from my bathroom window. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

definite fail and OP, you couldve saved the time writing all that and instead just put "I'm a lazy, horrible, **** for a mom"

OP, your child should be taken away from you and you should be sterilized. Parents like you make me ******* sick.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not a big deal and the OP might've had a very good reason for not feeling like taking over half an hour out of her day to take sneakers to her daughter. Also, if the OPs daughter was over the age of 10 she should have been organised enough to remember them in the morning and most good parents would let this teach them a lesson about being responsible for getting themselves ready in the morning.

Get off your lazy ass. Its only 30 minutes out of your life to drive to your kids school and back.. YDI

Yeah, and it would have taken her daughter less than 1 minute to remember to pack her shoes in the morning. Next time she's a lot more likely to than if mummy dropped what she was doing and leaped into the car to take her something that's not that essential.

Yeah and people are supposed to be responsible for their children. She could have reminded her daughter to pack her sneakers. Plus, her kid's probably in elementary school. You can't expect a 10 year old to remember everything.

YDI... I drive 6 hours each way to SEE my son, and you can't take half an hour out of your lazy, sitting at home life to help your daughter out when she needs you? wow...
Twinklestar 0
So your son doesn't live with you, and you can't make an effort to live closer but the OP who has her daughter living with her and spends one hour in her car every day as it is driving her to and from school is the bad parent? Get real.

#202, You really enjoy just throwing words around randomly into posts don't you? You really should go back to school and learn some reading comprehension.

"throwing words around randomly into posts" doesn't really make sense. Maybe you should take your own advice as my post made perfect sense as a response to the post I was replying to.

@ Twinklestar Apparently, you're a miserable bitch with a negative vibe who has nothing better to do but be bitter and sour. Please do everyone a favor by never breeding. We don't need more nonsensical fools like you around in the world.

Some people need to calm down... difference of opinion doesn't necessarily mean you can instantly assume things of the other person. OP, I probably wouldn't have felt like going there, too, but for my daughter I would have gotten over it and helped her.

Oh, stop ******* whining, no one gives a **** what you think of anyone else's comment. Suck a ******* dick. <3

It IS only 30 minutes, and we all know if the school takes the time to call then it's for a legit reason. I'm a stay-@-home mom of 5 and I always go if I receive a call. My kids know they can count on me to be there for them any time, any place and any age. I think #9 has an excellent point.

Actually, there is a feature were you can forward your home phone calls to your cell. I have that feature. HOWEVER YOU ARE A SAD SAD MOTHER FOR NOT WANTING TO DRIVE TO GET YOUR DAUGHTER SNEAKERS. SHE WAS PROBABLY COLD WHILE YOU WERE WARM AND COZY AT HOME. BITCH.

Just reiterating what everyone else has already said. You are lazy and a bad mother. You can't drive 15 minutes for your daughter? And you lied about it too. I have a feeling the rest of the comments on this are going to follow suit. And I hope you read them and realize you need to get off your ass and take better care of your kids.
