Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML
Today, I asked my parents to sign for me to enlist in the military. They asked me how much money the government gives them if I die. FML
Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML
Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, I overheard my girlfriend telling her friend, "Actually, it's a good thing she died, she was quite a bitch." She was talking about my mother. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. FML
Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI - join the military, get stupid, get killed. If you can't hack it in a real profession, or are a wasteful drain on society, join the military. Keeps it simple for those of us who actually want to do something useful with our lives.

Aww thats ****** up. That really pisses me off. My best friend is a Marine, and day before he left his mum went to his house not to say goodbye but to make sure he was leaving everything to her... Don't leave anything to them. I know there family but thats selfish. Your doing something very brave and giving your life for our freedom and all they can think about is money. Good luck with boot camp...If your going to Paris Island its beautiful there... Just do what your supposed to do and Youll be just fine. =) Oh and Marines are Hot and your badass for joining..you turly have balls. =P

You decide where the money goes, remember that. You could donate all the money to a charity they hate if you want to.

Semper fi and good luck! My boyfriend is in boot camp right now and it's tough. Hopefully your mom didn't mean what she said in a bad way.
