Today, I was telling my teenage daughter about the effects from alcohol, and how she should not give in to peer pressure. While talking, I noticed that she was looking at me funny. There was a wine glass in my hand. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my 3 year-old toddler wanted to try my wine. I kept telling her it’s adult juice and she wouldn’t like it. When she kept bugging me about it I gave in, and gave her a tiny sip. She liked it, and continued to bug me about it even more. FML
Today, my child's kindergarten teacher told me that my child said, "My mom drinks wine and lays down." I don't drink alcohol, although at times I drink juice in a wine glass. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm an alcoholic. FML
Today, while we were at a work party, I noticed a drunk lady in the mix. I pointed out to my boss how dumb she looked. It was his daughter. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. FML
Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML
Today, my mother woke me up by putting a beer on my face. After 15 minutes of her telling me to "just take a sip" and me rejecting it, I finally did just to shut her up. She then yelled at me for giving in to "peer pressure". FML
Today, I was at home, my mom came and saw me holding what she thought was a glass of beer. She took the glass, threw it and slapped me for drinking it. I was drinking Apple Juice. FML
Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML
Today, my 11-year-old cousin walked up to me as I was enjoying a glass of wine with friends at my mother's birthday party. Thinking she wouldn't like it anyway, I let her try. The little fucker drank the entire glass in one go, adding, "Usually, daddy gives me vodka." Good to know what my family is up to. FML
Today, my daughter’s teacher tried to inconspicuously slide me a pamphlet for AA. When I asked her why, she told me that my daughter shared with the class that “Mommy drinks funny stuff from a bottle every single night and it tastes real bad!” Kombucha. I drink kombucha. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

**** everyone who's insulting the OP's parenting. Unless the OP abuses alcohol (there is no solid indication she does), there's nothing wrong with her parenting. The daughter is underage, the OP is not.

Not getting why this is so bad. The mother is obviously old enough to drink and the daughter probably is not. There's a pretty big difference.

It would be true that it wouldn't be as bad...if she was teaching her about drinking too much alcohol. She was trying to tell her about the EFFECTS of alcohol, which is a fancy was of telling your kid not to drink...while she has DRINKING. Yeah, good job OP. You're a shining example of what parenting should be. You're like that one guy who says "DON'T HIT PEOPLE" before smacking his kid.

if you even have your kids in the same room as you while some guy is doing nude pushups on you, then you my friend have failed as a parent.

OP is a grown adult that can do whatever she wants on her own accord. her child however, is not.

Well um, I own wine glasses and I never use them for wine...they were a wedding gift, I always put my drinks in them when I want to, some people gave me weird looks when I invited them over because I was pregnant, I had to tell them it was just water or red soda :)

It doesn't matter if she abuses it or not she's still trying to teach her daughter a lesson with a glass of wine in her hand. mabye not bad parenting just bad example.

Has nobody else realized that the FML only said wine glass? Leaving me to hesitate before I rush to assume it was filled with wine and that OP is a terrible parent. It was circumstantial, with a bout of bad luck and inattentiveness which led her to remain unaware of the wine glass in her hand. Ergo, this is perhaps more of an FML than it seems.

I agree with #8. OP was also talking about peer pressure and I think that's more of a problem than anything and the point OP was trying to get across.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying alcohol in moderation. Instead of just giving her the dark picture you can explain her that it can be enjoyable if drunk in moderation. It's not like she would not get it if she decides to try.

So??? My Dad always lectured me about not smoking, even while he was smoking a cigarette himself. He was a heavy chain-smoker and hated the fact that he couldn't quit. I think he was example enough to teach me not to do it.
