Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to ban a mom from practice, which sadly meant the kid had to leave too. Several times the mom had been loud, disruptive and even rushed onto the mat because I wasn’t teaching her son the "right way". I’m a third degree black belt and I teach 5-6 year olds on my days off. FML
Today, my mom told me to do karate with her, and so I said no. Now my mom won't let me do anything until I go do karate with her. FML
Today, my mum came to my ballet class. She spent the whole lesson sitting at the back yelling at me to, "Stop sticking your butt out!" My ballet instructor had to ask her several times to pipe down. FML
Today, my mom kept swearing and punished me while I was in an online lesson. I almost got punished by the teacher as well. FML
Today, my mother followed me to work to see what I got up to. I'm a fitness instructor in a ground floor gym that has big windows overlooking the street. She stood outside and waved at me for half an hour, while I tried to concentrate on teaching a visibly amused class. FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML
Today, I found out that my mom withdrew me from karate at the insistence of my my fucking stepdad, who's a wimpy sissy pacifist who is against violence. I was so close to getting my black belt. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for fighting with my younger brother. Not because she wanted us to stop, but because my brother couldn't find a good comeback to my argument. FML
Today, my mom put me in an anger management class because I said "crap." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Reminds me of the parents yelling from the sidelines of a sporting event but everything they're yelling doesn't actually apply to that particular sport. - SHOOT THE PUCK INTO THE BASKET FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!

I hate it when people are oblivious. It's worse when they are dense as well. Just be as blunt as possible, OP. It's frustrating, but I've noticed with people like that, that's all you can do. Other than repeat yourself multiple times until they get it.

My dad works at a fishing lodge on the weekends (in the office- answering the phone, ringing up purchases, making reservations, answering questions, etc). Every time he would tell my grandma he was off to work she would say "Have a nice time with your friends!" She just didn't get (or would forget) that just because he liked the people there and OTHER people went there to relax, he was working. He would just facepalm and go "Ma, I'm *working*" But then have the discussion again next week.

A Latino mom's flip flop does 6x more damage than any brick.
