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?

Obviously she's telling you something. You inherited her bad genes.

My mom did the same thing. She EXPLODED at me for not getting my license yet, now she won't let me drive.

No 35, my mom was the same way. She was so anxious for me to get my license that she taught me to drive before I was 16. The day my permit came through she dragged me off to the state troopers and I passed the test. Instead of congratulations, she turned to me and said, "Here you go, you lazy bitch" and handed me the grocery list and the responsiblity for driving around my asshole brother and all of his friends until he got his license. She was 'done' with driving. I was also responsible for filling the car with gas so that I could do her shopping and drive her son and his posse around. I was 16 so I had to dip into my college fund to pay for gas to pick up the family groceries and take the asshole brother to his sports practices. I could drive as much as I needed to in order to do her errands with no problem. If I wanted to go somewhere for myself, like a movie with a friend, suddenly I was the World's Shittiest Driver and sure to kill everyone on the road if I got behind the wheel so she was 'doing the world a favor' by telling me I wasn't allowed to drive, which really sucked because I was footing the gas bill. Moms who pull this crap do it because they're tired of being their kids' taxi services and want to dump their errands on their kids, but they don't want the kids cruising around or having any fun. So the kid is a good enough driver to pick up the family's pizza on Tuesday night while Mom parks her ass on the sofa but NOT good enough to drive to the very same pizza parlor with friends on Friday night. Parents contradict themselves when it benefits them.

She just wants you to get a license so she doesn't have to drive you everywhere... but is still somewhat concerned for your safety.
