Today, my mom scolded me for not taking driving lessons already. This comes a few days after she told me that, "Allowing teenagers to drive is just another way of thinning out the gene pool". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my road test. I'd never had driver's training and my mom taught me how to drive. I failed the test so badly, and when I got home my mom admitted to having taught me how to drive completely wrong because she didn't want me to get my license as she thinks I'm too young. I'm 18. FML
Today, my mom told me I wouldn't be able to take driver's education until at least my sixteenth birthday, because I'm, "Not ready to drive a car." Isn't that the whole point of driver's ed? FML
Today, I found out that my mom has been deliberately forgetting to help me practice my driving. It's not because the insurance will go up once I pass the test, she doesn't want my 14 year-old sister to feel left behind. FML
Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Today, my mom once again yelled at me for "driving erratically." She texts while driving 70 miles per hour on the highway, but apparently driving through a yellow light is "reckless." FML
Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML
Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML
Today, my parents finally took me driving after months of me having my permit. I got yelled at for asking questions. I only needed to know which way they wanted me to turn on the next street after they told me to turn, but not which way. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

no she just wants her own genes to be weeded out the gene pool because she doesnt want to let anyone else suffer.

some people have respect for their parents, even if they are unreasonable at times
jillianmathers12 13
I know but still it's hard to respect a dumbass!

Your mother probably is a dumbass for not teaching your proper manners if you walk around with those ideals.
johnson94 5
you can still have manners while expressing your concern for your mothers ridiculous ideas...

Looks like somebody's mother failed out of high school biology.
WCARlover 35
maybe she's hoping you'll be thinned, if you know what I mean

Or the mother meant that allowing teenagers to drive WITHOUT taking proper action in regard to preparation and safety is irresponsible. Insisting that the OP take driving lessons means she wants him to be educated and learn as much as possible to stay safer.
goshpeople 4
I mean, her*

Yeah! She wants you to get thinned fatty! Right, right? oh wait... no.

Lol. You should have said "Well Mother I believe that allowing teenagers to drive is just another way of thinning out the gene pool, you know what I'm saying?"
ohSNAPyall 27
Yes, that's a great thing to say, if you never want to get your license.
