Today, my dad has discovered selfies and my mom has discovered taking pictures of food. Now I'm at a restaurant, suffering through it all and not being able to eat anything until my mom has taken pictures of it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the store with my father. As we were leaving, he grabbed a baguette, put it by his crotch, and took a picture with his phone. I'm starting to feel like the parent here. FML
Today, I walked into the dining room to find my mom popping pimples on my dad's back. FML
Today, I learned that my girlfriend takes creepshots of me sleeping, and my mom likes them on her Instagram. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, I was on the toilet, when my Mom thought it would be a fun idea to barge in, take a picture of me, post it on Facebook, and tag me. FML
Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML
Today, I got my nails, hair, and makeup professionally done for prom. My dad got his camera out, and I presumed he was taking pictures of my date and me. When I looked at the pictures later, they were all of the dog. FML
Today, it's been the tenth restaurant meal in a row that my husband has to ruin with Instagram, in the belief that anyone cares. FML
Today, I had a look at the pictures my mom took during my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Every single one is of my sister. Her lighting the candles, her watching me open presents, and her eating cake. The only pictures of me are in the background. FML
Today, I took my two kids to a restaurant with a graffiti-themed wall and took some lovely pictures that I promptly posted to family on social media. I didn't notice until a couple of hours later it said "ANAL?" in huge writing behind my dear child's head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel your pain, my parents are more into the selfies, social media and all that jazz than I will ever be. its scary how fast they learn and become obsessed.I learn to get used to taking pictures wherever we go. My parents phones are expensive and upgrading every few months. I on the other hand, my phone is almost extinct and its been 6yrs of no longer being produced.

OP here. Wow, finally something FML-worthy about my life (and of course it's the one that I thought was least likely to go through). As for a follow-up, I couldn't eat the food. When I went to even touch my fork, my mom glared at me and said something on the lines that if I dared to take a bite before she was done, I'd suffer for it at home. Uh... And it was just my luck that it happened to be a Christmas luncheon. Yay me. (Starring London Tipton, obviously). But that's really all. Oh, and yay, they've discovered the hashtag, Wrecking Ball (how did they not know this?), and Snapchat. God save me.
