A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

New hire
Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML

Today, I finally started my dream job. I turned up for work with a huge smile on my face. Imagine how much my face dropped when I saw that I had to share an office with the girl I stood up last weekend. FML

Happy/Sad
Today, I started the job of my dreams, which I’ve spent 20 years trying to get, only to get a call that my mom, who supported me when no one else would or could, went into a coma. I didn’t even get to tell her I started the job. FML

Supportive
Today, my mother followed me to work to see what I got up to. I'm a fitness instructor in a ground floor gym that has big windows overlooking the street. She stood outside and waved at me for half an hour, while I tried to concentrate on teaching a visibly amused class. FML

I agree 100%. I can't believe this person is complaining about having a job with the way the economy is. I haven't had a job in four months; I would GLADLY work with my parents.

if u r like 15, I guess it may b OK. but if u r 18+ it may b a nightmare. one case I experienced at work the girl was in college, the mother was desperately trying to cling on to her youth, so there was a tension stemming from that to begin with. on top of that the mother thought every guy was trying to date her little girl, & any adult discussion she had, whether it b on a TV show/music video/health/relationships the mother wd run to HR & complain ppl were having 'inappropriate' conversations with her precious little daughter!! Of course much of this was from the competitiveness the mother felt with the daughter but it was unpleasant from all sides...it is never a good idea to work with a parent if u r an adult b/c u may never b comfortable being an adult in the office- & honestly who wants one's parents to know abt ur worklife in every detail? and yes, it is uncomfortable for mgmt too, b/c even tho' u r an adult & an independent employee in real situations they kinda defer to the parent esp if the child is a girl(where issues of sexual harassment etc are taken more seriously, a guy, well ppl might side with him saying oh mommy u gotta cut the apron strings & let him b a man).
