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

"I lied, just because I am lazy, but I couldn't even do it right." Oh yeah, obviously your life is terrible.

Not if the kid's like five or something, it should be the parents responsibilty to look after them. However, if she's a teenager, I would agree with you to a point.

i get your point but also, the mom could've at least took 30 minutes out of her life for her kid imo.

why would a teenager's school call their parents to bring sneakers?

YDI times a million. How can you not care enough about your daughter but care enough to come here and post your sheer lazyness? Be careful when you open your front door, because Clay Aiken might be waiting to roundhouse you. Like someone once said, Clay Aiken doesn't sleep...he waits.

If you can't give the proper care for your children, you should have left your legs closed shut and not had any in the first place.

Pretty sure taking "proper care" of your children doesn't include dropping everything in the middle of the day because they forgot to get all their things ready in the morning and may have to miss a gym class because of it. Maybe your mother should have had an abortion if she wasn't capable of raising a kid not to be a judgmental bitch.

She might've had an accident or something and needed new sneakers. I also LOVE how everyone is assuming it's the mother.

True. And it's a good teachable moment for the child to learn responsibility and being prepared and all that, but it doesn't stop her needing the shoes.

Everyone is assuming it's the mother because OP is a woman. I suppose she could be a step-mother or other legal guardian, but that doesn't change my opinion of her.
