Today, as my brother parked in our hotel's parking lot, I told him to be careful because the car wasn't straight. He retorted, "Yeah, just like you". My mother was in the back seat and heard everything. I hadn't come out yet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I spent an evening teaching my younger brother how to parallel park before his driving test. After an hour, he finally parked perfectly between two cars. I was so proud that I told him we'd nailed it. Then we noticed we were parked in front of someone's driveway. FML
Today, I got in the car with my brother, who drives all the time with his eyes glued to his phone. We stopped at a red light, it turned green. I noticed that he was still looking down and told him the car ahead was moving. I then got screamed at, saying how I'm always right, how my friends suck, and how he wished I was dead. FML
Today, I took my dad out shopping. I managed to pull into a really cramped parking spot and said, "Man, that was a tight squeeze." My dad then looked me in the eyes and said, "So was your mom." FML
Today, my mom was driving with my brothers and sister in the back seat. She was turned around talking to us, when my sister told my mom that she missed the light. She ran it, then screamed at us about not paying attention and noticing your surroundings. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML
Today, my brother put a sign on my car saying, "No baby on board, feel free to drive into me." Somebody did. FML
Today, I was reversing my brother's car out of a driveway. I turned to my friend in the passenger seat and said, "Check it out, I'm so good at reversing!" Next minute there's a huge bang. I had just reversed into a tree and shattered the windscreen. FML
Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML

Seriously, what the ****? You could have just played it off as a friendly joke instead of flipping out like you probably did. What is with all these people calling your brother horrible? Take a joke!

Just because he called you gay in front of your mother and you just so happened to be gay, doesn't mean that she now know's you're gay. She might just think of it only as two brothers teasing each other.

Maybe your gay ass should embrace it and be proud. Good job brother

If your mom is the type to react really badly, chances are she'd believe you if you played it off like your brother was just teasing. People are very likely to believe you if you just tell them what they want to hear. If your living situation makes you feel like you need to, you can use that to your advantage. My brother's boyfriend spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas with us and my other brothers have called him gay in front of our (bigoted, majorly homophobic, asshole) dad, and Dad still hasn't caught on. He thinks the boyfriend is just a friend and the brothers are just being immature. He openly wonders when that brother's going to get a girlfriend and he's made comments about not wanting to associate with gay people, but doesn't act any different around his gay son and really seems to like the boyfriend. Bro is out to the rest of the family, but until he's no longer financially dependent on our dad this is working for him.

she's a mother, she's probably suspected but wanted you to be open about it. you only have one life, love it fully as who you are not who someone expects you to be.
