Today, for the second time, I had an argument with my mother about whether William Shakespeare was a real person or not. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother felt the need to remind me not to fall in love with a fictional character. After laughing and reassuring her that I knew the difference between fiction and reality, she replied, "You know, honey, sometimes I'm not so sure." FML
Today, my boyfriend is always telling me I haven’t met his real mother yet, even though I’ve known her a year. However, when I happened to disagree with her today, she started screaming and hitting like a psycho. He had to wrestle her out the door. I get it now; I’ve now met his “real” mother. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I had an argument over whether or not I should buy some flowers. With myself. Out loud. FML
Today, after much reluctance due to fear of causing a huge debate, I finally posted something on Facebook about the presidential debates. However, the post sparked an argument with my mom's childhood best friend, that ended with her telling me that my dad isn't actually my dad. FML
Today, my mom and I got into a fight about a topic we agreed on. Seems like we're destined to never get along. FML
Today, I realized that I frequently argue with myself and respond back. FML
Today, yet again, I got into an argument with my dad. I have a PhD in the subject. But he's "entitled to his opinion", for, as he said, he's read a summary of the history of the country in a tourist guidebook, and the general view doesn't have to be based on more detailed information. He also corrects me when I speak the language, which he doesn't know. FML
Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML
Today, my mother started arguing with me once again about how my life revolves around my girlfriend and how it's unhealthy to spend so much time with her. We live together and are engaged to be married. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your posts provides insufficient information to know if I should feel bad for you having a dumb mother or for your mother for having a dumb son/daughter. But I am jealous that this is the type of issue that makes you think FML. You have it good.

thats not unusual, his existence is questionable (i mean his whole person, the person itself existed with maybe another life story)

Oh for ***** sake, this debate? Look, is it really that hard to believe there was someone writing popcorn flicks in that era? He wrote "your mom" jokes. I don't understand why scholars even think it's a potential argument.

This is actually a very common argument. Due to the fact that we don't have many records from back then and it is a possibility that there was no Shakespeare, if there was he could have been a she, we don't know for sure.

There WAS a William Shakespeare. His life was documented, from his birth to his will, with a few very noticeable gaps, but there is no serious theory that he either did not exist or was a woman in disguise.

Leaving the religious component out, it is considered to be historically well established that Jesus the Nazarine lived and died by execution by the Romans and was a religious leader of great prominance at the time of his death. Many Nonchristian sources provide details the support the man's life, at least in broad terms. '
