Today, I was so exhausted that I slept through my phone ringing, and later my doorbell ringing. My psycho mom freaked out, and thinking I was in trouble, broke a window to get inside. This all happened before 7 a.m. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was trying to sneak home from a party. Instead, I head-butted a glass door and woke my mother up. FML
Today at 10:00 pm, someone rang my doorbell 4 times, while I was sleeping. I thought it was an emergency and I opened the door to my neighbor who just want to ask if I had a blackout at noon. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my psycho ex trying to break down my apartment door. FML
Today, someone knocked at my door. I saw it was my Mom, so I flattened myself against the door and tried to be as quiet as possible. I pulled my phone out and almost had silenced it before she called and heard the ringtone through the door. I had to invite her in and hear the usual "get married and have kids." FML
Today, the doorbell rang. I saw my incredibly overbearing mum's car outside, so I stayed quiet and tried to sneak upstairs. As I crawled through the hallway, commando style, I realised the door blinds were still out for cleaning. If scowls could kill, I'd be roasting in Hell right now. FML
Today, I was daydreaming in bed when my phone rang from across the room. I scrambled out of my covers, tripped over a pair of boots I had by the bed, and slipped on some jeans laying on the floor. Luckily, I answered my phone in time, but only to have my mom tell me to clean my room before she got home. FML
Today, I was running late and tried to sneak out of the house without waking anyone up. My phone alarm, which I forgot was set on max volume, blasted a loud “WAKE UP!” at 7 AM right as I opened the front door. Everyone in the house was wide awake instantly. FML
Today, I was woken up at 11:30 am by my mother standing over my bed, screaming at me. I'm 30 years-old, married, and do not live with her. She broke into my house because I didn't answer my phone, because I'm sick and on prescription sleep meds. WTF? FML
Today, my mom barged into my room at three in the morning, demanding to know where I'd been. I'd been in my room sleeping since ten o'clock. In that time she had called the police, all of my friends, and my ex-boyfriend, asking if I was with them. FML
Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML

Who the hell does these sorts of things? That's one crazy mother you've got OP! Make sure you give her the bill for replacing the window while you're at it.

The good news is your mom really cares about you. The bad news, you're right, she's pyscho.

Definitely unnecessary. Try talking to her and explain why that's inappropriate. Maybe she'll understand. Or just continue to be paranoid.

Correction, what OP's mother did was unnecessary, not what number 1 suggested.
RedPillSucks 33
not really. mom probably thought the worst, like OP was dying or something.

One would assume that the person would be sleeping at that time.. It's still early in the morning. What any normal rational person would have done is call and knock on the door at around 9-10am if they couldn't get a hold of the person at that time of the morning. That's a reasonable time.

18- all before 7 am? that's pretty ridiculous. that's one overprotective mom.
_krystallynn_ 11
op should move away. far away.
sig4life 18
Moving far away will only make it worse. OP better hope overbearing psycho like attitudes are not hereditary.

She Wouldn't be so Psycho if OP was tied up and getting beaten by Ninja Pirates now would she?

Early bird gets the worm? Lol

Yeah, but the early worm gets eaten by the bird.

Um has your mom ever considered therapy? No offense, but at least she is caring!
KayleeT 9
Um, in pretty sure if you thought your kid was in trouble you would have to find a way to make sure they're okay. I'll admit she may have gone overboard, but that in no way means that she needs therapy. Therapy is for mentally or emotional ill people. Not for caring mothers
Docbee 11
Um, there's always the chance she's obsessed and not willing to let their children move on, that calls for a nice long talk. P.S. Um.
GwennaRose 22
@ 34 That is actually a common misconception about therapy. It is not only for the mentally or emotionally ill. In this case I would suggest OP and her mother go to family counseling to work on creating boundaries in their relationship and helping the mother cope with anxiety about her child

She thought you were "taken" by Marko!

.. What?

59, I'm assuming it's a reference to the Taken movies.

Smashing through the window? Ain't that a bit over excessive?
daminantion 14
As opposed to under excessive?

#41, your comment was ceremoniously majestic! Lol!
Eluveitie 9
No, it wasn't.

Man, I tell ya. Sarcasm is lost in this digital world!

Definitely psycho. Anyone calling and visiting before 7am without plans falls into that category.

Unless a significant other is surprising you with things such as breakfast. With bacon. Bacon is an acceptable reason to show up unannounced that early in the morning.

She did the right thing! If you ever watched Dora the explorer you'd know that whenever you think someone's in trouble you should try to help them. Besides at least you woke up instead of sleeping in?
Lionesse 15
I fail to see how Dora the Explorer got into this.. The only thing Dora teaches you is that maps, backpacks and monkeys can talk and apparently get you to your final destination.

Dora also taught me to talk to strange animals and inanimate objects in Spanish... However, I only speak to strange animals and inanimate objects in Elvish, so...
SillyGirl4602 23
**** that. If its my day off I'm going to sleep in.
