Today, my mom left for a business trip. Thinking it was a good time to throw a party, I mass messaged everyone on my contact list. I thought it was going to be a success. The problem with this? My mom is on my contacts list. She replied "I'll be home in an hour. You're grounded." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sent a forward to everyone in my phonebook saying, "HOUSE PARTY-NO PARENTS, LOTS OF ALCOHOL, MAYBE A CHANCE TO HOOK UP." I then got a reply from my mom saying, "I'm probably the only one that would show up." Even my mom thinks I'm a loser, and I'm now grounded for 3 weeks. FML
Today, I checked my Facebook to find I had been tagged in a bunch of photos from a party I had attended last night. On each picture I had a comment from my mom saying, "You're grounded." FML
Today, my mom added me on Facebook. She wrote on my wall, for the whole world to see, "Why are you swearing on the internet?! You're grounded". FML
Today, I was house sitting by myself and I texted my mom saying how thankful I was that she was trusting me and not checking up on me. That night I threw a party at the house. My mom showed up to check on me because my text was "suspicious". FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, I found out that the messages about the issues in my sex life that I'd been sending to my best friend had been sent to my mother via iMessage. She's coming over for dinner tomorrow. FML
Today, I got grounded because I didn't send my aunt a Mother's Day present. Not only is she not married she doesn't have kids. FML
Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Like who the hell keeps their parents in their messenger and facebook & other stuff's list ??? And even more, what kind of parents have facebook and messenger accounts ? My parents don't have time for this, they either work their ass off for a living or relaxing and enjoying themselves by not staying in front of a screen all day long...

Pretty sure he/she was using a cell phone.

Social networking is something people have to do 'all day long'? Facebook may be convenient, but it definitely isn't interesting enough to occupy that much time. Maybe five minutes every couple days.

Even if it WAS a facebook/messenger account, most business people are now constantly plugged in via smart phones. And businesses do interact with each other and communicate with clients using social networking sites like facebook and twitter, so being constantly connected is not that big of a stretch for OP's mother.

OP: I'm sorry, did I say party? I meant *insert any word that could fit but that OPs mum wouldn't react badly too*. And to people wondering why OPs mum is on her contact list - that's pretty normal. I'm nearly 22 and my mum is on my phone contact because, when I'm out, it's pretty much the only way I can be contacted.

You are an idiot for three reasons: 1) Throwing a party with no one home. Stuff happens at parties with no parental authority present. Plus, it's disrespectful to her, since it is her house. 2) You should have remembered you have your mom as a contact. That was just plain stupid on your part. 3) You could have saved yourself by saying it was a joke. This could be a possibility, then again I don't know if your mom has a sense of humor.
