Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML

Today, I tried fixing my dad's lawnmower after he said, "Girls can't change a lightbulb right, let alone fix a machine." An hour later, when I had the lawnmower running again, he bitched me out for trying to make him "look stupid." He's been sulking and acting pissy ever since. FML

Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML

Today, my father bought a riding lawn mower. We don't have a lawn. FML

Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Sounds fair enough
Today, my dad came up into my room and told me that as a consequence of breaking my MacBook in anger, he’s punishing me by helping him with yardwork every single hour of the day. FML

Today, I got home late to find my dad outside mowing the lawn in the dark. I told him the neighbors were going to think he lost his marbles for mowing it at that time. He then informed me he wasn't mowing it, he was vacuuming it. FML

Try to do a nice thing…
Today, I mowed our lawn without being asked. My sister wouldn't stop yelling at me for not checking with her, because she wanted the grass to get long enough to "play jungle" in. My mom sided with her. FML

Parents are weird. They complain when you don't do any work around the house. Then they complain when you do.

Next time he wants you to mow the lawn, tell him you don't want to emasculate him.

And then he grounds OP for talking back to him. Sometimes you just cannot win.

Was he seriously injured recently? Ask for a list of other things you shouldn't do that threaten his manhood.

I hate yard work. When, or if, I ever have children, they can have at whatever chore they want. I've lived my life working, time to be lazy.

I have an ex who refused to let me mow. Its a man's job and I was making him look bad. I told him that he didnt need my help in order to look bad. The knee high grass was doing the trick just fine.

Your dad's a dick! That was extremely nice of you.

It's funny to think that someone who would feel emasculated, would also admit to it.
