Today, I received an award from my school rewarding me for my honor roll and my cheerleading. When I brought the certificate home my mom congratulated me and hugged me. I worked really hard for this and all my dad had to say was, "Try this flavor of Doritos." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I won an award at school for my hard work. Afterwards, my parents told me off. Why? They wanted my brother to get it instead of me. FML
Today, I attended my school's special invitation-only awards ceremony, relieved that I was getting a much-needed scholarship. I watched all my friends go up and win scholarships. In the end, I only got a certificate for doing well on the PSAT. My whole family showed up for this. FML
Today, on Halloween, I received an award for my progress at my drug rehab clinic. I told my mom we should celebrate by going out to eat. Her response? "I got you a turkey sandwich from the hospital cafeteria." Thanks Mom. FML
Today, I was granted a donation to pay for a creative writing course. When I told my mom she couldn't even muster a smile. She found her excitement later, however, when she posted how proud she was of me on Facebook. I can only get praise through my mom attention-whoring on social media. FML
Today, while at a grocery store, I told my mom I had some good news. She exclaimed, "You finally got a boyfriend?!" No mom, just an A on my math test. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, I told my mom I was finally going on a diet. She let me know how proud she is of me fighting temptation, by making my favorite cookies and dinner. FML
Today, I graduated from college and my parents gave me an apple. Not the computer, the fruit. FML
Today, at the awards ceremony at my school, I ended up winning the top achievement award in my grade. The principal spent at least ten minutes talking about my success to the audience, the whole time referring to me as a "he" as I stood right next to him. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You're right Rawr, that fish is freaky. OP guys only care about one aspect of cheerleading. The girls. Just be happy isn't tring to f*#% one of your friends like my friends dad did. He was a creepy old man.

Doritos rule. Did you expect to get a new car for doing what you are supposed to do in school like study? Now if you were in the top 2% of your class then he should make a big deal but if your honor role is just an A- average or better than you have too much of a sence of entitlement. I applaud your dad for not stroking your ego which would do you a disservice in prepairing you for the real world. Keep trying to do good in school and you can make something of yourself.

Yeah. Even looking at it, it seems slimy. But it kind of reminded me the singing bass. My uncle has one and it is always playing when I come over.

FYI awards for cheerleaing and honor roll don't mean shit in the real world. Its the equivilant of a gold star. Why should your dad jump up and down for a mediocre achievement?

boo hoo OP he didn't care about your stupid cheerleading award or your stupid honor roll award. no parent really does and it's kinda sad that you think your parents would be different

have you tried the cheeseburger flavored doritos... they really taste like a cheese burger!

agree with 80. op, get out of that pitiful existence and constant yearning for attention you call a life. your dad still probably loves you but he doesn't give a shit about a few bits of paper that proclaim how awesome you are
DGAFprincess 0
woww... all the people saying it's not a big deal need to chill the **** out. I'm sure all OP was lookin for from her dad was a "congrats honey!" or maybe like, dinner at her favorite restaurant. in highschool, things like that aren't considered mediocre, they ARE a big deal, an she deserves a little recognition for her hard work! I was in cheer in hs and it's pretty darn time consuming. needless to say maintaining your grades, let alone getting on the honor roll, isn't easy when you have an extracurricular activity such as cheer.

well that's good for you 132. would you like an award and a cookie?

18 (Samantha_dura....)- What's wrong with cheerleaders? You look like one, you preppy douche.
fellie_fml 0
I'm in high school and i can assure you those things aren't that important to anyone, people only clap because it's polite. Also Dorito's are a delicious and tasty snack, she should feel honored that her dad left one in the packet for her to try

kissmyass: well apperance isn't everything now is it! I'm the opposite from a "preppy douche" you fucktard.

shut up 132. I make the honor roll every year, and I have mma, drum playing, water polo, and skiing on the side. and I have a part time job. so shut the hell up. if I can do it with all that, I'm sure it's not to hard with cheerleading. and btw, yeah, I'm in high school. I'm a junior.

My dad is like that. :( I got accepted to Cornell University last year, called and told him, and the response I got was, "Call me back later; I'm busy."

my dad is so ADD. He does that kind of thing all the time. It's not often I do something I'm really proud of, so of course I want to tell my parents about it. My mom hardly ever makes a comment about it, and my dad will just say something random, too. FYL, bc I know exactly how that feels, OP.
ItsJustMe17 9
same thing happened to me too. I got a scholarship at a dance convention that's worth alot of money and its pretty hard to get. all he said was, "have you finished your homework? you won't be getting any more scholarships if you don't do dance because i wont let you go to dance you failed all your classes". I don't get it.
sophie2212_fml 0
That really sucks.. But look on the bright side.. Atleast he was going to share the doritos with you.. If your dad was as protective of his doritos as mine this wouldn't even be an fml lol

She made me laugh, mostly because I pictured her yelling it out a car window and whipping a water balloon. That and I was thinking along the same line.

Yeah, because we can all control who we get for parents. Grow up.

Something like this. Unless you are valedictorian or won some regional championship for cheerleading, this isn't exactly a big deal. My reaction would've probably been somewhere between your mum's and your dad's. Work hard to feel the pride in your own efforts, not for validation of awards and compliments. Life will be pretty tough for you if you don't.
