Today, as I woke up early to do my physics homework, I heard my parents talk about how big a disappointment I am for them. They discussed how stupid, immature and how big a burden I was. They knew I was listening. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while riding on the car with my family, I put on my headphones and pretended to be listening to music and when my parents talked to me, I pretended I couldn't hear them. They took this opportunity to discuss how fat I was and how I can't hold down a boyfriend. They were laughing as well. FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML
Today, I had to listen for over 10 minutes as my brother and grandmother discussed how much they hate me. They thought I was asleep. FML
Today, I tried to confront my parents with the fact that they're almost certainly going to outlive me unless I radically change my lifestyle, and that I needed their assistance to help me stay on track. I only realized after my impassioned speech that they were ignoring me the whole time. FML
Today, my family yelled at me for being a "selfish disappointment." My crime? Not being able to help my sister's boyfriend do his homework while I'm working on my class finals. FML
Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my parents kept on trying to create drama in my long-distance relationship,and telling me that my life is a mess. But when I tell them they played a huge part in my crippling anxiety, they change the topic. FML
Today, my parents are upset that I never ask them for help with my homework and struggle with it myself. They won't accept the answer that whenever I do, they're always yelling at me and putting me down. Dad in particular can't get through one assignment without becoming a screaming tyrant about my handwriting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

parents who talk shit like that are ******* pathetic, they don't realise that it is their parenting that is a let down.

I assume you're Guatemalan. Your English is flawless. And if you're not, you're taking Physics in Spanish, which would suck for any non-native speaker of Spanish. And you're taking Physics. How exactly do they justify you being a disappointment?

I would assume that if they knew you were listening, they would be doing that on purpose to teach you a lesson in eavesdropping. But if not, I'm sorry D:

when you grow up to be their age and they're old, put them in the worst nursing home possible

Sorry to hear that, my parents told me to my face how I was a burden to them and selfish asking for help from them because I was an adult (21). Which is fair enough but I was also bed ridden just after having brain surgery and had no money because I couldn't work and no where to live. I was such a terrible child to them I moved out right before uni and only came back after my 2nd brain surgery left incapable of looking after myself. Good luck to you and I hope it was a joke.

And since you're here instead of solving your little problem, you obviously missed the point. Why do you think they made sure you knew that they were talking about you? YDI.
