Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML
Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Even parents are still scared of teachers it seems.

and? maybe your mom had something more important! or maybe she forgot, oh well parents forget stuff all the time.

"Oh well" to a mother completely forgetting her kid. God I really hope you never have children, both for their sake and the gene pools sake.
heyimjennyFML 5
she was at school though it's a safe place so it really isn't a big deal.

Something more important? Like what? Unless the mum was ill or another relative was taken ill suddenly, there is NOTHING more important than your child! If there was a genuine reason for his mum not turning up I doubt he would've posted the FML!

she didn't forget her child! she forgot about the interview if op usually takes the bus or gets a ride from a friends it's understandable. he also should have tried to reach her to remind her even If she didn't have a cell phone I'm sure she has a house phone or work number he could have called. and maybe his mom was ill or a relative op could of just left that part out bc he wanted his fml to get posted or bc he's a brat!

@jenny- My mother has never forgotten anything and has always showed up to appointments. She makes it to every appointment, every sports game, every school function, etc for all 4 of her kids. She has never not once "forgotten", and in no situation would it be understandable. If she or a relative were ill she would call. She wouldn't just make me and the teacher sit there waiting. Stop making excuses for lousy parenting.
geeksaresexy 18
And if the mum had an appointment with the kids teacher it was probably important so if she forgot about it that's STILL poor parenting! She STILL forgot to pick her child up from school! It doesn't matter if she normally picks the kid up from school or not.

91- your mother sounds perfect. my mom has 4 kids too and she forgets EVERYTHING. last year I stayed after school a lot so I would make sure to remind her before I left for school and either after school or when I needed to be picked up and she would always admit she forgot but would be there. it's not like op's mom forgot him in a other city or the store he was at school for 7-8 hours and she forgot about the interview it's human nature to forget, I find it very understandable and nobody can change my mind. maybe ops mom tried to call but they wernt answering. 93- it DOES matter if she forgot about the interview how would she remember to pick him up??

The bit that was aimed at me made no sense..
heyimjennyFML 5
it makes sense to me :/
geeksaresexy 18
You're saying it does matter that she forgot as if I was saying it doesn't.. It matters that she forgot to see the teacher and it matters that she forgot to collect her child from school.
geeksaresexy 18
Oh! I see now!! You meant 'it DOES matter[if she normally picks OP up] if she forgot about the interview how would she remember to pick him up??' There should have been a period or comma in there. I read that as one whole sentence. ('Tommy helped his uncle jack off a horse.' is not the same as 'Tommy helped his uncle, Jack, off a horse.') It doesn't matter if she does or not.. If your kid goes to the cinema one time and you remember to pick them up it's not because you always pick them up, it's because you're a good parent. Again, if you have to see your kids teacher it's probably important enough that you should damn well remember to go!

parents are way to uninvolved anymore:/ FYL kudos to the ones who care enough to take the time to know what's going on at school.

I think your mom ditched you. Ydi for not flying home like normal people.

Where I live, teachers aren't allowed to drive students home for liability reasons. OP, consider yourself lucky you had a ride at all.

at my school teachers and students hang out after school together, I love going to mr. Alligoods house.

I don't mean to play Chris Hansen here but are you saying that a pretty, young, female teenager is frequenting the house of an adult, male teacher, whom probably calls himself Mr. All-is-Good. It probably means nothing but if I were Mintyfresh I wouldn't drink anything while I was over there.

^^future kidnapping, rape, murder victim up there. Don't trust so easily, it's bad for your health.

Why assume such poor intentions of the teacher? I'm reasonably certain he doesn't intend to kill her. His promise that a certain video will remain of the Internet however, that is dubious at best.
