Today, I learned that my mother now refuses to drink anything but bottled water because she actually believes that the government is putting a chemical in tap water that lowers pregnancy rates. She is trying for her 5th child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after my 7 year-old learned at school that water that goes down the sink and toilets is cleaned and then turns up in the taps as drinking water, he is now refusing to drink it at all in case it is recycled toilet water, and if he carries on he may need to be hospitalised for dehydration. FML
Today, my parents decided that the best way to save money was to dilute everything we drank with water. Only one more year of watered down soda and juice to go. FML
Today, I asked my mother why she didn't drink. She laughed and said, "The last time I drank was the night you were conceived. I didn't need any other disasters." FML
Today, I found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, my 13-year-old daughter excitedly told me about a new diet she read about online. Apparently, the diet entirely consists of bottled water and a mixture of food coloring. The food coloring "takes care of all that vitamin and mineral stuff." My daughter is an idiot. FML
Today, after weeks of drinking my mom's vodka and replacing it with water, it now only tastes like water. She has a habit of drinking on Fridays. Today is Friday. My life is a ticking time bomb. FML
Today, I got screamed at by my mom for about 10 minutes because she claims I’m ruining my diet by drinking sparkling water, claiming it’s “soda”. I had to explain that it has zero sugar, calories, etc. She told me that it’s “the same fucking shit.” And to not trust “the government food labels.” Huh? FML
Today, someone drank a sip of my single serve pasteurized orange juice and put it back in the fridge, ignoring the whole jug of non-pasteurized juice, that I cant drink because im pregnant. I cried. FML
Today, my father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML
Today, my girlfriend bought several packs of bottled water, even though we have pure mountain water on tap. She did this because the pile-up of unwashed dishes in the sink makes it virtually impossible to slide a glass under the tap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well they do put Fluoride in the water which is a neural toxin (IE kills brain cells). Why do you think toothpaste says if swallowed contact poison control?

If she really doesn't want to drink tap water and insists on bottle water, just get her one of those water jugs that filter the water (Brita is the one we use). It is pretty much the same thing as bottled water, except you know its being filtered for sure. It is a hell of a lot cheaper then buying bottled water too. Also you're mom is right. There are tons of chemicles in tap water that are dangerous for your health, not just pregnancies.

I'm glad to live in Lithuania where we don't need to worry about water quality. We have the purest water on the planet.

I hear that in bigger cities where they clean and purify the water that the hormone from birth control can't be taken out. So her statement is "partially" true.

Lol a lot of bottled waters come from some city's tap water supply. Look on a bottle of Nestle Pure Life... "Source: Public Water Supply, Greenwood, IN" (Thats what i drink so i can quote it.)

I wouldn't be surprised if they were, but if they were i would think they'd do it to bottle water too since most drink bottle watered.

There's flouride in the water that causes cancer, dental flourosis, and also decreases reproductive health I stay away from tap water as much as possible myself
