Today, my mom realized that the "door" part in "screen door" doesn't block sound when she began to talk to our neighbours about how much of a failure I am. I heard everything. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was singing in the shower, not realising the window was open. When I got out, the neighbours were at the front door, loudly arguing with my mother. They were complaining about my awful singing. FML
Today, as always, my mom slams every door she closes. I faint when I hear loud sounds. FML
Today, my mother is snoring so loud that I can still hear her with the door shut and with earplugs in. So much for sleep. FML
Today, my mother tried to have a conversation with me. While she was taking a piss. With the bathroom door wide open. FML
Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML
Today, I was yelled at by my mom because I didn't hear her. I'm only 16, but I swear, to some extent, I'm losing my hearing, I don't even know what from. I've told her this, but she can't hear out of one ear, so of course it wouldn't feel real. I do feel bad about it, but I haven't heard her every time this has happened. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. 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, my mom yelled at me for not pooping with the bathroom door open like the rest of the family. FML
Today, my mother told me that I "should have never had children" after I sided with my son when he yelled at her for talking too loudly. I have hyperacusis, and my son has sensory deprivation disorder. My mom knows this, and blames it on her friends who are hard of hearing. Nothing is ever her fault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's when you say, "In my defense, I was spawned by somebody who can't quite grasp the subtle complexities of a screen door" before shutting the actual door.

ignore it & get away as soon as you can afford it. When our son was 2 my ex husband told me our son WOULD play professional football & support HIM in luxury later in life. FTS. I told my son to do what he wanted. Football, ballet, politics , etc. Yep his dad disowned him for going career military. 8 years in & going strong! Sometimes you must walk away from a parent.

That's sucks OP but all parents can be super critical and just know you're better than that and keep your head up.

Not sure how people like you end up making children with people like that.

Yeah that would be a good comeback unless the mom did it on purpose so OP would overhear it.

Judging by OP's name, that might not be a great comeback at all

Good point. I saw the name and assumed they'd typed it out of spite, but that might be incorrect.

Well you could change the word spawned to raised and it still makes a good comeback even if adopted.

Parents can be assholes. Sometimes you just have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, give 'em the finger and prove them wrong.

Sounds like you should start screening her out of your life.

A similar thing happened to me a few years back when I was unsure of my path. I was told I wouldn't 'do much'. Now I'm working towards acting, I get it even more, except through sighs and comments such as 'well you can work inbetween!'. Use this as motivation to prove her wrong and go do what makes you happy! She will eat her words!
