Today, my mother, my aunt, and my two sisters are all on their periods. I can't even brush my teeth in my own house without being treated like a criminal. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my wife and three daughters all have their period on seperate weeks. I now have no break from yelling. FML
Today, I found out that my wife and two teenage daughters' periods are all one week after the other. I am living in hell almost every single day. FML
Today, my mom noticed that there weren’t any tampons in the trashcan during my usual time of the month, and promptly grounded me. I’m not pregnant, I just skip periods sometimes. FML
Today, I woke up bleeding from every orifice in my body. I've got a nose bleed from my medication, my gums bled when I brushed my teeth, I'm on my period, and I have hemorrhoids. FML
Today, my mom told me how lucky I was to inherit her "asymptomatic" periods. It's true, I don't get cramps, bloating or mood swings with my periods. Nope, just excruciatingly painful diarrhea. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, my mom made a Facebook post about me starting my period and for everyone to be nice to me. FML
Today, my mom was acting really pissy, and I couldn't help but mutter that she must be on her period. Five hours later, I'm glued to the toilet with my phone, because she went all out for revenge and spiked my dinner with some hellishly potent kind of laxative. FML
Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML
Today, I envy all the mothers who get to hide in their bathroom, engulfed in tears, when at their breaking points. I'm a single mom of two heathens. Today, like most days, really I had to threaten violence at the top of my lungs so they would stop fighting long enough for me to simply use the bathroom. FML
Today, I just got my first period. My mother has been dead for years and my stepmother genuinely wishes I was dead, so who am I supposed to tell? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What're you taking about? Before I went on birth control, mine lasted for 7 days.

Sorry, I thought I read somewhere that it was impossible to have 7 days of menstruation. :( It's 3 in the morning and I'm sleep deprived.

I feel sorry for you b/c women living together some how tend to get their periods together but better to get it done at once then have it spread out

i don't understand why women have to be bitchy about their periods. For me it's just: insert menstrual cup, take ibuprofen, carry on as normal apart from an extra two minutes in the bathroom a couple of times a day. No big deal.

Bully for you. A lot of women get incredibly painful cramps that refuse to go away or ease off no matter what you take or do. As well as the constant feeling of being unclean and disgusting, despite how many times you clean yourself up.

"As well as the constant feeling of being unclean and disgusting, despite how many times you clean yourself up." hence the cup usage.

There is nothing 'disgusting' or 'unclean' about having a period. It's a completely normal bodily function necessary for reproduction (in human females). If a period is disgusting and unclean, then ejaculation in males would also be 'unclean' and 'disgusting'. I find it sad that you think you're unclean when you're on your period as such a view comes from hundreds of years of misogynistic attitudes towards women and their natural bodily functions. Embrace your period, it's a healthy sign of your fertility and wellbeing.

i think lottiebearx meant feeling disgusting from the sticky feeling you get no matter how much you wash, change tampons/pads/cups. I know it makes me feel unclean but not in a shameful way, just unclean because you are constantly aware of the blood. I don't think anyone woman would say they enjoy their periods even the lucky ones who get no pain or mood swings.

Ummm Not Really. For me, it is extremely painful cramps, occasional blood clots, a ton of blood and last week I had a terrible stomach ache and I felt like I was going to throw up. I usually don't get mad at people when I am on my period though, I usually uncontrollable cry.

I hate it when I'm trying to be a bitch and someone blames it on PMS!

@110 freefalling Dude, I would not admit I was from Arkansas. Once again, the fact that someone gets pissed means whatever was said is true. Now, go grab your sis and "do-se-do", 'round and 'round and 'round you go!! =D

It can happen, but it often doesn't, e.g. lived with my mother for 19 years and no overlap :P
