Today, my mother was sneaking through my underwear and found my condoms and the bills from the hospital where I had my IUD inserted. She then started yelling at me, saying that I didn't have permission to not have children and that, "I get to choose, not you." I'm 28 years-old. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mum cleaned my room. When I got home she yelled at me for having condoms. I'm 24 years old and in a long term relationship. FML
Today, my mom barged into my room, threw 5 boxes of condoms at me, then said, "So you don't get pregnant". She still hasn't accepted the fact that I'm a lesbian. FML
Today, I told my mother that I'm pregnant. She went off screaming at me about how I shouldn't be having sex. I am 25 and have been happily married for 3 years. FML
Today, my mom found a condom in my pocket while doing my laundry. Instead of having the subsequent discussion about the birds and the bees my mother simply asked "Who would have sex with you?" FML
Today, I went shopping with my mother, when someone snuck a pack of condoms into our cart while our backs were turned. When we got to the register, my mom, whose wealth makes me ineligible for financial aid, noticed the condoms and she announced that she wasn't paying for the college I got accepted to next year because she doesn't want a promiscuous daughter. FML
Today, I told my ultra-Catholic mother that I was hanging out with a girl. While walking out of the flat, I didn't realize that I'd dropped one of my condoms out of my pocket. My mother saw it and ripped it apart, then yelled at me that, "Sex is for having children! You're giving yourselves to Satan!" I'm 20. FML
Today, my mother was scolding my youngest sister for having unprotected sex with yet another partner. She continued with, "Why can't you be like your brother and just never have sex?" I'm 22, and she's not wrong. FML
Today, my mother and I got into an argument, and she told me to go to my room. I refused, prompting her to slap the shit out of me. I'm 29, and she was visiting me at my own house. FML
Today, my mom went through my drawers and found some antibiotics from Planned Parenthood. She immediately flew into a rage and told my whole family, my aunts, and her church that I was a “loose woman with a horrible disease.” The antibiotics were to treat bacterial vaginosis, not an STD at all. FML
Today, my mom stole the condoms out of my room and gave them to my little brother because I "won't be needing them anytime soon". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ummm, that's kind of ****** up. Do you still live with her? That's a major boundary issue. If you don't that's even worse. Don't let your mother make your reproductive choices, and if you're still at home, and in a country where it's culturally feasible, try and save up to move out, and put strict limits on your mother, because I assume that she's only going to get even more overbearing.

if you're living at home, it's long past time to get out. if she was in your home, time to put your foot down. that's not normal, or acceptable. and get new condoms, she probably poked holes

A bit of an extreme interpretation of "My house, my rules." You can either pop out a few grandchildren and get free daycare or pay rent. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Even if she lives at her mom’s, she has a right to privacy and her mother has no say on her sexuality. That should be a no-brainer.

Don't live at home! If you are 28, time to move out!

If you have the means, you need to move out. Now. And maybe replace the condoms. If not, you need to draw lines in the sand and demand boundaries be respected.

Wow, talk about a violation of privacy. That said, if you still live with mom, it might be time to move out since she doesn't respect your boundaries.
