Today, my mother kept nagging at me because my 9-month-old daughter only calms down when I play her metal. She demands I use gospel, otherwise she will turn into a "devil-worshipping lunatic like her mother". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother screamed at my brother for ages for playing a Nicki Minaj music video. She said it's "terrible, demonic garbage" that'll get us "spitroasted in Hell". I don't even disagree with the first part, but she does this kind of thing every single day when I get home from my night job. FML
Today, our baby refuses to sleep through the night. My dad told us to play Heavy Metal because it put me to sleep as a baby. We are currently playing "Jekyll and Hyde" by Five Finger Death Punch on repeat and she’s been asleep for 7 hours. Unfortunately, the neighbours are furious. FML
Today, I was lectured by my mom who saw me trying to play on my Switch during a weekday. The thing is, she doesn't even give me any time to play in the week, and then calls me out whenever I try to get a few decent hours on my Meta Quest and Switch during the weekends. Stop dictating me; give me a goddamn break. FML
Today, every time I practice my synthesizer, without fail, my stepmom decides to make as much noise as humanly possible. Slamming doors, stomping around in her loudest heels, dropping weights, screaming, you name it. I can hear her through my noise cancelling headphones and I can’t focus. FML
Today, after being hospitalized last week due to a severe mental breakdown, my mom is still mad at me for missing her big solo at church. She had even tried to demand I be released from the hospital for it. She's still going on about how she thinks I missed it on purpose. FML
Today, I woke up to my overly religious grandmother trying to shove salt down my throat yelling "DEMON BE GONE!". Why? I didn't wear the cross neckless she bought me. FML
Today, my mom wants me to get an exorcism because piercings, tattoos, my own car, my own career, moving out of her house, and wanting zero contact with her from now on are "sure signs of demonic possession", maybe even the influence of Lucifer himself. FML
Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML
Today, and ever since we announced our pregnancy, my mother-in-law has invaded our home, taken over my hobby room, and tries to run our lives. I tried to go to the pub for a pint, one solitary pint, and she came and dragged me out by my ear, because "drinking is a sin", and I hadn’t done the dishes yet. FML
Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML

Your mother-in-law is apparently a lunatic. Don't go by what she says. You're the parent.

My daughter grew up listening to Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, and more. These bands were the Metal at the time, and just as despised by the bible thumpers. She also loves Heart (Nothing like a 3 year old rockin' out to Barracuda). She is now in University studying a double major Bio-medical mechanical engineering and Computer tech so she can help people who have and severe injury (amputation) or deformity live a better life by building a better prosthetic. (Yes, I am bragging a bit). Not a usual Satanic ambition. So let your baby Rock On.

I was raised the same way, and I'm also going to university to learn how to help people (Pharmacy). Yup, we metal-heads are just a bunch of devil-worshipers who hate humanity.

Your baby sounds amazing. I can only hope I have a kid like that some day.

Don't leave your child alone with your mother-in-law or she'll teach it something you don't/won't like.

My mom used to blare Metallica when I was little to help me calm down. I turned out fine...*cranks up Black Sabbath*

There is nothing wrong with that. Goodness, bible thumpers like that drive me crazy. We used to listen to all kinds of music at my youth group while we were at church and as long as it wasn't saying we should worship the devil (or have lots of sex and do drugs) no one cared! We all just had fun. I'm sorry your mother is being so judge mental. Gods the only one that should judge and considering he is love that's not such a bad thing.
