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.

thats when you chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"

Ugh, instead of quoting stupid emo songs, I wish people would realize it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality!

I have seen many comments from thoughtless parents on FML. See the situation through the parents minds and realize many cannot visualize a different outcome for their children, Their parents were trained by their parents to react in this manner. Do not react and accept or walk away.

Accept that you're a failure and agree with your bitch mom that bad mouths you to a neighbor?

Sometimes, going away from the parents is better. I had to call the cops on my mother. There is not a day that I regret it even if it was hard at first.

She's the failure for not realizing that a screen door isn't sound-proof.

Take that as some motivation to show her who you really are!

Cry. Really cry. When she asks you what's wrong say some crap that will make her feel like crap. Guilt trip is always the way to go.
