Today, my mother sat me down to tell me that since coming home from college, I sounded like "a liberated woman." She was disappointed and disturbed by this, and said that I should stop having strong opinions and ideals because it would make finding a husband for me difficult. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to explain to my mother that a lace mini-dress with an obscene amount of cleavage was not appropriate to wear while meeting my boyfriend's parents. She called me an "annoying prude" and said that with my attitude, I don't deserve to have a man. FML
Today, my mom once again told me that I'm too young and immature to get married, and that I don't know what love is. I'm 29, have a successful career, own my own home, and am financially stable. FML
Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML
Today, my mother is mad at me because I dared, yes DARED, to go out with a girl who stands up to her instead of just meekly doing what she tells her. Which should tell you exactly what sort of woman my mother is, so you know this FML is just the tip of my lifelong misery iceberg. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my mom and several of her friends. My mom spent the entire night gushing about my Ivy League school and med student boyfriend. I attend a state university and I'm single. She threatened to cut me off if I didn't play along. FML
Today, I was talking with my mother and expressed my slight disappointment at how many of my friends are getting into relationships, whereas I'm still single. My mother decided to encourage me by saying "Don't worry, sweetie. There are boys out there who don't go for looks. You'll be fine". FML
Today, my mom was helping me plan for going to college. After 30 minutes of me getting more upset, and her getting more frustrated, she directed me to Tinder, a wedding venue website, and the local address for Planned Parenthood. Her actual words were, "There's no shame in being a stay at home dad these days." FML
Today, my wife said I was being difficult and unreasonable, and called my mother to talk to me about my behaviour. What did I do, you ask? I dared to share my opinion on something I happen to feel strongly about, instead of just mindlessly agreeing with her opinion like I have for the past 22 years. FML
Today, my mother described what her ideal daughter-in-law should be like. Halfway through her description, fishing for some compliments, I told her that such a girl would be way above my league. She sighed and emphatically agreed. FML
Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell your mom to shut the **** up and that this isn't the 1950's.

Don't stop being "a liberated woman" everyone should use their brains and being willing to speak in a peaceful manor and have discussions on issues. Besides I would rather date a woman that can tell me that I am wrong and then we can discuss why I am wrong and find common ground. Keep it up, your doing the right thing.

All white people are fat, **** their sisters, have missing teeth and talk like idiots. All blacks are uneducated and criminals. All Hispanic people are illegals and can't talk English. Sound ignorant? Well that's exactly how you morons morons sound when you say Muslims degrade women and what knot. Maybe if you actually picked up a book every once in a while you'd realize all that shit is media bullshit. I am a Muslim and I have more respect for women then most people i know. Jews and and Muslims have a sense of respect for women that is unmatched. But than again how would any of you racists know that because you are too busy being programed by the likes of these terrible excuses for media organizations.

you're saying that muslims are dirty but actually europe learned to take a shower too late (later than eastern countries) . in 15th century people only took a shower once a year in england. henry the eighth only had two showers in all of his life. i live in a muslim country and whenever i go to a country in europe, i find it too difficult in toilets. because in muslim countries, we do in fact wash our asses with water coming from the tap in the closet. but you guys dont. i live in a muslim country (turkey) and i think i am much cleaner than you are

Baha. I understand where the mother is coming from, but she's got it all wrong. I have strong opinions and I was married by 21 :P

If you are indeed "liberated", than you know you shouldn't give up who you are no matter who says what. Trust your judgment. The kind of husband that your mom is talking about is not the man who would make you happy anyway...

What did I misspell? you imply that I spelled something wrong but don't actually point anything out. Where did you get those passages? I bet it was some website that isn't even run by a Muslim. There are a bunch of websites that falsely translate the Koran, again try picking up a book.

when i have children i sincerely hope my daughters do not evolve into "liberated" women. i can't stand them. and i agree it will make it more difficult to find a husband that isn't a pussy whipped individual. (no sarcasm at all)

Welcome to the Gulf, but you already knew that. I suggest you "liberate" yourself to another country with your fresh degree, where your mom can be disappointed with your man who accepts your opinions instead of squashes them.
