Today, I discovered my mom has over 20 sites bookmarked on her laptop, all having to do with 'How To Boost Your Insecure Teen's Confidence' or 'How To Help Your Overweight Teen Have A Positive Self Image'. Thanks, Mommy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom just handed me a book called "100 Ways To Motivate Yourself." FML
Today, I found my diary on my mother's nightstand. Bookmarked. FML
Today, I Googled myself. I found my mugshot and a blog my mom had written about how much of a problem child I am. FML
Today, my mom was helping me plan for going to college. After 30 minutes of me getting more upset, and her getting more frustrated, she directed me to Tinder, a wedding venue website, and the local address for Planned Parenthood. Her actual words were, "There's no shame in being a stay at home dad these days." FML
Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, I found out that my mom uses my Facebook account more than I do. FML
Today, I learned that my girlfriend takes creepshots of me sleeping, and my mom likes them on her Instagram. FML
Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dude, your mom is trying to help you. You're obviously incredibly insecure if this makes you think your life sucks. Not happy with your weight? Exercise and eat properly. Get off your ass and set your life in the direction you want it to go in.

Heyyyyy, wake up!! I get it must be really shitty she has to look those things up in the first place and for you to find them, but I wish wish wish my mum would want to make that kind of effort for me!! Your mum is involving herself in your life and caring about you, very lucky indeed! If she wasn't and you had to deal with whatever problems you have on your own, trust me, things would only be more lonely and frustrating, it's not nice.

I say YDI, but sometimes the truth hurts. You shouldn't be mad at her, she's only trying to help.

At least she's looking out for you. What did you do today for her or for that matter, yourself?

She's just trying to be able to know how to communicate with you and make you feel confident and stuff. No need to be offended.
