Today, I received numerous text messages from my parents asking where I was and how worried they are. I was in my room, they didn't even notice me walk in. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a message from front desk that my concerned father is trying to contact me. I call only to hear that my parents were freaking out that I wasn't answering my phone. They saw me 9 hours ago. They were going to call the police. I'm in college and also don't live with them anymore. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I told my parents how grateful I am for having them in my life and that not many kids are as lucky as me. My mom texted me after I went out 10 minutes later: "Are you OK? You seemed depressed earlier." FML
Today, I was house sitting by myself and I texted my mom saying how thankful I was that she was trusting me and not checking up on me. That night I threw a party at the house. My mom showed up to check on me because my text was "suspicious". FML
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, my parents left me several frantic voicemails early this morning about the hurricane, totally in a panic that I wasn’t safe. I called them when I woke up and told them I was fine. They were actually angry that I wasn't in the eye of the storm, because they “worried for nothing.” FML
Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I bumped into my parents at the mall. They didn't tell me they were around. I live 5,000 miles away, in a different country from them. FML
Today, my mother panicked and was about to report me missing when I didn't answer her calls while I was at a movie. I'm 31, and have lived on my own for over 10 years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They were worried about your silent, ninja walking. How are they going to enjoy having hot, noisy sex when the kid could suddenly glide in on them unnoticed? They need to put a bell around your neck.

Should have messed with them and asked for a ride home...then gave them detailed directions to your room.

One time my mom texted me at school asking me what I was doing and literally one minute later (as I was texting her back) she CALLED and asked why I hadn't replied to the text...

Moms, what can you do they obsess over the smallest things, that's why you should try and keep them from learning about all the new ways of communication, at least she didn't poke you and post on your wall about the text too.

I have a friend who does that. It took me forever to explain to him that if he needs an answer immediately to just call, because after I check the blurb of the text message (my phone gives me the beginning segment of the text message before I even open it) I might not respond right away depending on if I'm doing something else. Text then a second later call is just pointlessly annoying.

I live in a large house, so if my daughter is quiet, you sometimes temporarily forget she is there. Our bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house.
