Today, I realized that my mom talks to me with the exact same tone of voice she uses for my little cousin. I’m 23 and my cousin is 2. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realised my dad speaks to me the same way he speaks to my dog when she's done something bad. FML
Today, I had to put my little sister to bed. Usually my mom sings her a lullaby before she puts her to sleep, so I did too. After I finished the song, my sister looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This is why I tell people we aren't related." FML
Today, I noticed that my dad scolds me in the same tone of voice that he uses to scold our two dogs. Gives a whole new meaning to being treated like a dog. FML
Today, my dad decided that the best way to alleviate my crippling depression is to talk to me in a baby voice. FML
Today, my mom called me by her favorite TV show character's name. Again. This is the eighth time this week. I'm an only child, and I'm 15. I thought she had my name down pat by now. FML
Today, my parents watched a horror movie with some creepy child in it. Apparently, I sound just like that kid when I call for my mom, so now she doesn't want me to call her mom anymore. FML
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML
Today, my mother, who is 75 years-old, just told me and my sister that we were adopted. I'm 45 years-old and my sister is 49. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are first cousins. FML
Today, I found out from my first cousin whose teenage daughter is pregnant that she has chosen to name her child after mine. I would be okay with this, if it weren’t the same first name, and if they weren’t just a couple of years apart. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My mom does the same thing. I’ve talked to her about it and she still doesn’t realize when she’s doing it

You'll always be her baby. My mom calls me constantly and doesn't call my other three YOUNGER siblings as much. It's just how some moms are 🤷🏽♀️

She sees you as her little baby and doesn't like the idea of you flying the nest maybe

No offense, but the first thing that sprang to mind when I read this was the scene in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, the one where he calls the elephant over to sit on the dude's car.

Maybe OP's mom just speaks to 2 year olds using standard adult speech, and OP doesn't like it. Did anyone consider that as a possible interpretation?

You noticed this at age 23. Looks like mom is justified.
