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

Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML

Thanks, I hate it
Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML

Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML

Supportive
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML

Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML

Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML

Booze-fuelled family drama
Today, I found out that the man I called grandpa for 40 years is really my dad. My drunk aunt spilled the beans. Her exact words were, "My dad is a better dad to you than he EVER was to me! You never wondered why he treated you better than his other grandchildren? You're his son!" FML

Today, I was given the following pearls of wisdom: "My grandmother always told me, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Anyway, she was a cunt and so are you." Thanks, dad. Thanks. FML

The first step is being able to admit it
Today, my grandmother hates me. So much so that I've become a rotten, desperate, and overall evil person with no thoughts and considerations towards other people. My family doesn't know this, but I can never undo the damage she has done to me since birth (as she raised me). I only care about my own well-being, nothing else. FML

Great parenting
Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML

I like people like you, always there to support OP and make him/her feel better. Hats off to you, sir!

and that's why I call my daughter penicillin. she doesn't get it yet but in 10 years I get the feeling it will have nice dividends. I would be willing to bet at least 1/3 of us where mistakes I would be shocked if I wasn't. I comes from a dirt poor family no one in that situation says lets add another mouth. but I was loved just the same so what's the problem.

Don't worry OP, I'm a mistake too. Wedlock babies for life!

Like Bob Ross says, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents. :)

That makes no sense OP; especially if your parents planned you. Just point out by her logic you should be a third generation asshole because she is one.

discoveries* To pluralize a noun ending with cy (where c in a consonant): replace y with ies, not ys.

Well the grandma deserves to get no ration, so I guess it's accurate.

I hope I'm not going out on a limb when I say... I think OP was referring to "genomes"
PIGaming 21
Some of the (living) older generations are angry and bitter ~ dont take it to heart OP!

Especially as you might be a third generation.... Ask her if she knew of her parents trying to sneak out of the hospital without taking her with them

Maybe that's what her grandma told her? ;)

What kinda logic is that

Geriatric logic. Which is the best type of logic

My brother and I use the word "accidents" instead of mistake. Although you weren't planned, im sure she still loves you and your dad :D

I always preferred to refer to myself as a surprise.

Did Jesus kiss Mary with that mouth? lol but seriously I totally agree with you #7. Old people can be so heartless and don't even know/care that they are lol

And your kids would be mistakes, so also their kids. In fact, your whole lineage would be a lineage of mistakes. FYL

Mistakes are made everyday! Some of the most important discoveries in our life time where mistakes.

Were* although 'are' would be better.

Technically, the discoveries were made in the past, so it would be "were".

Except for the fact that he said, "our lifetime," which is the present.
liketenpandas 6
"lifetime" meaning the entirety of the human race. not in ANY way to mean present. eddison invented the lightbulb! was that present as of today as well?
