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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I finished a ballet class with a group of seven-and-unders. Afterwards, a new student's mother came up to me and thanked me, saying she was glad that her daughter had a "role model with a, ahem, fuller figure" and "not to worry about my weight." I have never thought I was fat before. FML
Today, I was at a ballet recital with my friend, sitting between her and the mother of the head male ballerina. When he came on stage in obscenely tight white tights I whispered to my friend, "You can see his whole freaking package!" I'd whispered to the wrong side. FML
Today, I was at the local theatre watching "The Nutcracker" ballet with my mother. When the prince made his appearance in his tights my mother leans over to me and says, "Those are some well defined butt cheeks!" loud enough for everyone around us to hear. FML
Today, in ballet class, I was really focusing and actually trying to work hard. I was really getting into the choreography. I was travelling big and leaping long. While going across the floor, again I travelled and leaped… right into the ballet bars and fell over, in front of 35 people. 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, at my daughter's ballet recital, after she was done dancing, grown adults booed. She's five. FML
Today, I started recording my piano exam pieces to submit, and I was proud at my interpretation that I spent time trying to make it sound good. That was until my tutor walked in and said I had "shit rhythm and ass intonation." My mom was there. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, my mother gave me a reprimand for my table manners when I didn't ask for someone to pass the vegetables I could have gotten myself. She then let out a raunchy fart at the table, and had the nerve to yell, "Did you ask to be excused?!" as I vacated the area. FML

Just go rub your butt in her face, and see if that's enough.

what will THAT accomplish?? Faugh!

That is actually an extremely creepy and disconcerting idea. I'm disturbed just thinking about a child sticking their butt in their mom's face.

It probably would have been better for me to say stick... or nothing at all... I disgusted myself as well. Sorry everyone.

i, for one, laughed like a devilish 6-year-old.

3 - why. What would that even accomplish..
BrashlyHonest20 4
It would get some good laughs from some of the other dancers i'd imagine.

No, your comment was just not funny.

(*S) sarcasm symbol, it's useful.
cheertrombonist 9
never seen it. •____•

NO 37! NO. The sarcasm symbol is "~," and they used it correctly. Their sarcasm was shitty but it was identifiable
kxxjoejoexxk 8
True i got more enjoymet reading people argue over the sarcasm symbol than any comment
charvisioku 22
...there's a sarcasm symbol? Why? If it needs a symbol, it can't be very good sarcasm.

Exactly. I wouldve told her that if she thinks she can do better to get out there and proove it. She's probably just living through her daughter anyway because she could never do it.

stop butting in, ma!

Jeez, I feel for you...my mom is like that too. They just don't seem to know etiquette or enjoy seeing you squirm :/
CaptainSaveAHoe 11
squirm is such a grotesque way to describe dancing for one's daughter. I for one would not enjoy watching my daughter squirm either. ewwwwwwieee

Tell her to try it, if its like dance moms she weighs 400 pounds.

You're not supposed to stick your butt out in ballet. You're supposed to tuck your tailbone under. Your teacher should have corrected you. I'm not saying your mom was right, but she was right...
Jennidoll 2
thank god someone else knows what they're talking about.
disneydraeer 10
That's what years of RAD, Cecchetti, competitive dance and mean dance moms teaches you!

But she wasn't right to mightily embarrass her kid the whole class long.
disneydraeer 10
I never said she was. However she was correct in the fact that she is not supposed to stick her bum out. It's incorrect posture and is very noticeable in ballet. Her ballet teacher should have told her. Although it is not her mother's job, her mother was correct. Atleast now she can apply that correction. It's better to hear it at the studio then to lose a part in a ballet or dance because no one said anything about her bad posture.

I feel for you OP. Must be annoying having a parent act that way and not being able to do anything about it.
