Happy new year
Today, I hosted a New Year’s Eve party, but everyone left at 11:45 PM to go to another party because "it sounded more fun." I rang in the new year alone. FML

Today, I told my mom I was going out to hang out with some friends. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Don't lie to me." FML

Today, I got all dressed up for a New Year's party. When my parents and siblings left the house to their parties, I got undressed. I wasn't going to a party. I only got dressed up so my family would think I had plans. FML

Today, my sister-in-law asked why I wasn't out partying with my friends to celebrate the new year. My mom then asked "What friends?". Ah, the new year begins. FML

Today, I had to go pick up my mother at 3 in the morning. She had been out drinking and couldn't drive. She parties more than I do. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home at 1am this morning from a friend's birthday party. I'm 30 years old. FML

Today, I got yelled at by my mom for not being surprised enough at my surprise birthday party. She'd told me about it while drunk the night before. FML

Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Today, my mom showed up completely hammered to a party I was throwing. The party was to celebrate the ten years that I've been sober. FML

Today, I was trying to sneak home from a party. Instead, I head-butted a glass door and woke my mother up. FML

It's not an FML unless you were actually home by midnight.

You have a good mother! My mum always said "nothing good happens after midnight"
poopyfacegirl 28
True...
BeaterOfTheDrums 15
Just tell her you like to be fashionably late. Show up home at 3
bitchslapped22 14
For me it's 'nothing good happens after 2 a.m.'

For everyone missing the point, it's not that the curfew is so early, it's that she'll be counting down to midnight with mom. Lol

Thats what happened to me too and I had to go home because my relatives were visiting:( FML.

New years eve... When your mom tells you to be back at midnight. But if night starts at 8 and ends at and ends at 6 isn't midnight 1am?
moop256 10
Your mom seems strict but fair ;)
SecretMe00 5
Well it can't be both, that's contradicting.

Like starburst, juicy yet sweet
Llamacod 11
Yes it can be both, as fair and strict are nowhere near opposites. If op said strict but relaxed that would be a contradiction. See the mom is strict by wanting op home by midnight yet fair by allowing op to go out at all

46, Juicy yet sweet? Try solid yet juicy.

... That's genius.

I believe this would only work one time. Besides what parents wouldn't say something like don't be a smart ass to that??? I say just stop being a pussy and tell your mom to efff off.
cgchamp89 7
Some people have way more respect for their parents than you do.
xbrit551 13
Ohh I respect them.
THE_A_TEEN 28
...and you also suggested someone to "stop being a pussy and tell your mom to **** off"? That doesn't sound respectful and makes you a bit of a hypocrite.
periwinkle95 10
Only losers disrespect their parents. Blessed to have both!
xbrit551 13
Yeah it does sound bad. Bad choice of words.
chili10 18
I would like to know how you can possibly phrase that to sound respectful... "I'm sorry mother, but regrettably I'm going to have to ask you to please **** off."

You all are taking this way too seriously.

Mine said 11 =p what nice parents we have huh! I love em but really!
chili10 18
It's because they care. I just turned 18 and this was my very first time staying out until the countdown and truth be told it's nothing special.
ohmandapants 17
^ the whole point of new years eve is the countdown. Yeah the party leading up to it is great, but the whole night you're pretty much waiting for that moment. You must have had one crappy new years eve.
chili10 18
No, I actually had a wonderful new years eve, thanks for your concern. I realize that the whole point of the new years party is the countdown, all I'm saying is that things start to calm down a bit once that's over.
