Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, my mom called me and asked me to fix her computer, three days after saying she never wanted to see me again for dating a boy. I got lectured to on how I'm ruining my life the whole time. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been purposely wrecking every relationship I've had since junior high because ''no one is good enough for her little girl''. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML
Today, my mom once again told me that I'm too young and immature to get married, and that I don't know what love is. I'm 29, have a successful career, own my own home, and am financially stable. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she heard me say "love you" on the phone. I was talking to my mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend said angrily that he should never have gotten together with me, that he should have known a woman with divorced parents would have daddy issues, and never be quite right in the head. His own parents are divorced by the way, and his mom is extremely overbearing. FML

Don't worry about her. She doesn't know anything about your relationship

Most teen age relationships don't last, but parents forget that that age those emotions are very real. Definitely could've been worded better. Though, throwing in the fact she's been divorced several times was a bad idea. Just cause something is technically true, doesn't mean you should throw it in someone's face. Also, there might be things about her divorcing( things that happened) that you aren't aware of. Truth is one thing, but that doesn't give someone the right to be a dick.

While your relationship is not a joke and is probably an important part of your life right now, teenagers DON'T understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. Life is a bit different when you start to have other responsibilities to factor in.

Although you are correct YDI for talking back and being rude to your mother.

Tell me about it, I hate when my mum tries to pass comment on my 3 year relationship. Excuse me, you were married to my emotionally abusive father for 25 years and have only had fleeting dysfunctional relationships with other unhappily married people who couldn't escape. I get all the reasoning behind it, her psychology etc, and understand you can learn from divorce, but not enough to pass unprovoked, unnecessary comment on a healthy relationship.

I can somewhat relate to this! Whenever I mention my boyfriend of 2 years with my mom she always interrupts me & tries to change the subject. Its a little annoying you would think they'd be happy for you..

It's even worse when your parents have an annoying habit believing that one of their children is perpetually 14. If you can, move as far away from that kind of parent as soon as possible. My mother constantly patronizes my happy, 4-year relationship with my boyfriend while she complains to me about her unstable slob of a husband on a daily basis. If money weren't such a hassle, I'd have moved out years ago, but at the end of the day, I know that I'm living with toxic, infectious people. Trust me; if you want to live life with a clean, intact bill of mental health, then leave that house whenever a chance presents itself. You'll thank yourself later.
