Today, my mom told my girlfriend an embarrassing story about me, along the lines of whenever my parents would take me school clothes shopping, I'd cry because I hated all the choices they gave me. The most recent incident of this? Last year. I'm 18. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom told an entire room full of people about the time I almost died from severe diarrhea as a toddler. When I told her that it was embarrassing, she simply told me to “grow up”. FML
Today, I went out with my parents and a family friend. After saying goodbye to the friend and as soon as the elevator doors shut, my parents started trash-talking the friend's looks, stature, choice of clothes, etc. Now I understand a lot about my education growing up. FML
Today, it's my 18th birthday. I was telling my friends a story when my mom started talking. I simply said 'Mom...' so she'd realize she interrupted me. She gave me the finger and called me rude in front of all my friends. FML
Today, my mom showed my girlfriend a picture of me crying when I pooped in the bathtub. FML
Today, my mom was going to take me shopping to buy a gift for my dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, I missed a spot while cleaning the kitchen. Now my mom is “embarrassed to be seen with me in public” and will buy my dad nothing, and tell him it’s because I don’t love him. FML
Today, at a mall, my mom accused me of lying about being gay, just because I said I don't like shopping. FML
Today, I finally had the guts to tell my mom about her boyfriend hitting on me. Not only did she not care, but she got mad at me. I'm 15. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with a girl at school. My mom and dad decided to punish me by letting my three older brothers pick out my wardrobe for the next week. FML
Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least your parents care enough to take time out of their lives to take you shopping. My parents just throw plastic at me and basically tell me to get lost. You should appreciate the quality time they spend to trying make you look presentable. If more parents did this then we wouldn't have white haired orange girls running around with giant logo sweats that say inappropriate things on their arse and shirts that are way too ill-fitting. Or wittle bitches decked out in emo crap from hot topic or wherever the hell they buy their depressing attire. Oh and my parents tossed me in a boarding school so they don't have to deal with me for long periods of time. Be happy your parents actually care about you... /rantoff *didn't go to therapy this week*

Okay, seriously? Stfu. If those girl WANT to be orange & look like oompa loompa's & wear "Ill fitting shirts", it's their choice. If you don't like it, dont look. It's called freedom of expression. If those "emo" girls & guys want to dress in black, & wear chains & band t-shirts, let them. I have friends from EVERY "clique" The cheerleaders, & basketball players, The "scene & emo"'s Even the nerds, & a few if the stoners. Nothing is wrong with any of them. You're just a stereotypical jerk who thinks everyone has to have a certain look or theyre "not normal" Newsflash. Maybe they don't want to be "normal" ****.

I'm sorry your parents don't spend time with you, but there's really no need for a pity party.
iam_yummylicious 12
I don't want anonymous nobodies to pity me. I'm just saying the OP should appreciate their relationship with their parents.

Op should just pick her own damn clothes out
Sebastian_NG 17
Dun worry OP I would cry too if my parents chose my clothes. And 56, dont make a ******* drama out of it, I dont care if your parents dont like you, there are some people like you who'd like to get more attention from their parents, or people like me who would like less attention from them, either way bitching about it to some strangers won't get you any of that attention

56, I really don't think that kids expressing themselves through their clothing reflects lack of attention from their parents. I personally don't like the emo thing and detest the oopma loompa look, but it's everyone's right and choice to dress however they want. Even kids. That's why they're kids - to make a shitload of mistakes and learn from them.
iam_yummylicious 12
IDK Shrooms... I have two best friends. One comes from a wholesome family with loving attention giving parents and the other has douchebag apathetic parents like me. Can you guess which one is a **** and which one isn't? Yeah, the one with uncaring parents. *shrugs*

Which is going to work out great now that you have a girlfriend you can shop with. Now you can both go to Victoria's Secret and try bras and panties on together.

Stop being an inconsiderate unthankful bitch? Damn dude. I never got to go school clothes shopping, and when ever I did get to buy a shirt or pants, it was with money I earned, and by myself. Be thankful your parents have the money to buy clothes for you every year, and even more thankful that from what I understand... they've kept taking you despite the fact that your whiny bitch ass cries over your selection. Bitch. Did your balls get lodged inside of you or something?

Sorry 12 didn't know this was your FML

Clothes shopping can be frustrating (not just saying this because I'm a girl.) We didn't have much money when I was growing up and I wasn't able to get the clothes all the kids at school wore & I got picked on because of it. I started working at 15 to buy my own clothes and provide for myself. I think everyone's being a little too harsh, but I will say this- at 18 you should have a job.
