Today, I had a volleyball game, and we were down by 13 points. I looked up at the crowd, and my mom was shaking her head in disappointment. When it was my turn to serve, I aced them, and tied the score. When I looked up she was gone. She'd left. When I got home, I heard how I sucked for an hour. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a crucial volleyball playoff game. My dad came to watch. While in a set, my friend pointed over to the bench where my dad was sitting. I turned to see my dad snoring loudly as a result of him falling asleep. He achieved this with loudly cheering people all around him. FML
Today, I played a volleyball game at my school. Not only did I miss the winning point, the ball hit my face in the process, which resulted in popping a big fat zit on my nose. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad at a tennis game. I could tell he despised me from the start, but it only got worse when I played him. He smashed the ball at me and I went to hit it, but I missed and fell over, tearing my arm up on the gravel. He had a smirk on his face for the rest of the day. FML
Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML
Today, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, I had an all day volleyball tournament in a town an hour away. My dad left early, not realizing he was my ride home. I'm now stranded in the middle of a rural town with no way home anytime soon. FML
Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML
Today, my girlfriend beat me at ping pong, twenty to three. She said I let her win because I don't respect her, then stormed out of the room. I'm just really bad at ping pong. FML
Today, I was playing Wii Sports, trying to finally complete the "pick up spares" bowling game. My parents were behind me and said they would support me. After several failed attempts, I realized they had been on their phones the whole time, and were so engrossed that they didn't even look up when I spoke to them. FML
Today, after soccer practice I was looking for my dad. Last night he was an hour late, so I was pretty pissed. When I spotted him, I saw him flirting with a much younger woman. I then tried throwing my soccer ball to his feet, but ended up slamming his head. Only to find out he wasn't my dad. FML

This goes WAY beyond not supporting your child, OP's mom is a fackin bitch.

40- Yeah, OP's mom is either jealous that her daughter is better than her or is just insanely stupid.

I hate parents like this. I played sports in high school and you'd see parents screaming at their kids for not performing "good enough." Sometimes it would get so bad that the coaches would have to step in.

might not believe her since she went on for an hour about her sucking. the next hour thing might be "lying."

But then again how can the mom know for sure that her child sucked, when she didn't even stay for the whole game.

Also: I don't see why a parent would be sincerely disappointed in their child for losing a game.

Because some parents are just assholes.

Maybe its one of those parents that are obsessed with a sport and yell at the TV when their team loses

Gotta live through their kids since they couldn't do it themselves.

Wow your mom's super competitive. I bet she's had a few fights at a softball game...

I always thought parents encouraged their kids at sports even if they weren't doing good.

Good parents do...

Make her listen to how she sucks for an hour, too

Reminds me of the time my mom came to one of my senior soccer games and I scored the only goal of my whole soccer career and after the game I went up to her and asked "did you see my goal?!" and she said no :p so I kind of know you how feel and I'm sorry :( but at least everyone who stayed knows what you did:)

How can you tie the score with an ace (which would be 3 points) when you're 13 points behind? Unless 13 was a typo, this is complete bullshit.

You seem to have too much time on your hands, and possibly a small anger problem. Perhaps you should take up a sport, like volleyball.

No, but they're right. Unless there's a different set of rules for a different kind of volleyball game; but you can't tie the score with one ace when you've got a 13 point difference. And even with an ace serve it's still just 1 point gained, not 3. At least, like I said, in the volleyball that I know and grew up with. So this fml has got me completely confused as to what the OP meant. Did they mean that they gained 13 points in a row, or their team caught up the last 12 and then tied it with their ace serve? Either way, that's a crappy mother to just a) walk out on the game and b) bitch about it later instead of comforting their kid.

I believe she scored more than one ace...
yoursucklives 36
the fml said, that the op "aced them". so i guess it was more than one serve.
anniearno 1
Yeah number 11 i played volleyball for 14 years and i meant 1 point yes. Also 13 aces in a row? That seems hihgly unlikely.

Did you win the game?
LittleBells 17
Nope. Just tied
