Today, my dad hurt his back. He went to a physical therapist who gave him some exercises to do. I have to watch him lie on his back and air hump while groaning every hour on the hour for the next two weeks. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I hurt my back, and now I have to lie on my stomach for twenty minutes every hour so I can ice the pain. My boyfriend won't stop using my ass as bongo drums every time. FML
Today, I went to my doctor to get my x-ray results. Turns out, I have a fractured spine and a chip of my spine has moved. Now I'm in a neck brace because my dad didn't think it was serious, and told me to "suck it up princess." FML
Today, I finally saw a physical therapist for frequent right hip pain that was interfering with my sleep schedule and causing that specific area of my leg to atrophy from not using it as much. After doing all of the stretches, the pain doesn't seem to have improved, despite him recognizing what the problem was. FML
Today, my dad got drunk and played a practical joke on me; a practical joke that resulted in my knee being broken. Now, I'm sitting in a hospital bed all alone while my dad hunts for "hot nurses". FML
Today, I’m a single parent and lately I’ve been working out to get healthier. During a session, I injured my back pretty badly. Now I need help getting out of bed, etc. I just wanted to make sure they wouldn’t ever need to take care of me. FML
Today, I finished a full marathon and just wanted to relax and get pampered by my husband afterwards. Instead, I spent the evening taking care of him and his back because he had a spasm. Don't worry, he feels much better now. Meanwhile, I can’t move my legs. FML
Today, my dad told me that my stomach pain is from a lack of exercise. He knows I've recently had a medical procedure that's known to cause pain in the aftermath, but he dismisses it as a cause. By the way, I can't exercise because of the pain. FML
Today, my wife yelled at me for not helping her rearrange the furniture. I have a sprained shoulder and have been ordered by my doctor to avoid heavy lifting. She said, "Move the couch or sleep on it." FML
Today, after my dad and I had a real heart to heart and even settled some differences last night, this morning he was back to his grumpy asshole self. He even asked what he did last night, because he was on the new painkiller his doctor prescribed, and couldn’t remember a thing. FML
Today, a day after my mom and I got the vaccine, we've been doing everything around the house with one hand each through the pain. My dad hasn't helped out at all despite my requests, and sees nothing wrong with this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How is this an FML? Your dad's the one whose injured, in pain, and having to do the exercises (which he probably thinks are just as embarrassing as you do). Did it ever occur to you that the reason you need to be in the room with him is in case something goes wrong and he hurts himself worse? Back injuries, even minor ones, are not to be taken lightly. You don't have to literally watch his every move - read a friggin' book or something. "Oh my god! I have to watch my hurt father 'hump' the air for a few minutes every hour so he can regain his full mobility! My life SUUUUCKS." Grow up.

OP, your dad is just trying to get some relief on his injured back. Sure it's awkward as heck but it's not like he's intentionally doing it to make you suffer. Besides, he's suffering way worse than you are. I gotta say, you kinda deserve it for acting like the world is about you. The injured deserve the sympathy, not you. =

Video it and use it as blackmail. Also, put it up on youtube and make a remix version with some of the following themes: Dubstep Metal Lady Gaga Remix Hip-hop and anything else you can think of. We could make "Air-humping Dad" into an internet meme, people!

Tell your mom to lay underneath him. No need in wasting an air hump.

lol, Op's mom would need parts that females don't come equipped with for that to work because his butt would be what was facing her. He would also need to be in to that kind of thing.

LOL, didn't know he would be doing it face up. Didn't have that picture, when I read humping, I think of a downward motion. "Today, I learned something 'educational' on FML, now I feel like a dumbass, FML"

Why do you have to "watch" him? This disturbs me.

I actually know exactly what exercise the OP is talking about because I had to do it for both my back and to stretch out muscles in my side. It is an incredibly awkward looking exercise to do but it does help after a while.

ok so you're lying, because that's a basic exercise for back therapy.

OP, grow up, inconsiderate brat.

You don't have to watch him do the exercises you could easily move to another room or any number of other things. If you choose to sit and watch and listen to him groan then that is very much your own choice. He is just doing what he needs to do to make his back better.
