Today, I realized what my mom has been calling me for 20 years. She always calls me her "little fehler." With her being from Germany, I always thought it was a cute little nickname. Apparently, she's been calling me her "little mistake." FML

I heard her call me “idiot”, “loser”, “moron” and various other “nicknames” multiple times. FML

well this could either be good or bad. i have a friend who was a "mistake" and her and her mom joke about it. they both know she wasn't planned but it doesn't really bother them, they laugh about it. her mom even wrote something about it in her senior ad for our yearbook. however if she says it disdainfully or treats you badly, then she's a bitch.

20 years is sort of a long time. Ah well, does she say it with love? Because then it's all right...

#124- No. You are ignorant for thinking everyone calls people dumb nicknames like "feller". It makes them sound like rednecks.
