Today, I was talking to my good friend's girlfriend. She mentioned being afraid of losing her job. Because she was still a teenager, I jokingly said, "Oh, like you're responsible for a whole family!" She is. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went over to my girlfriend's house for dinner. Her parents seemed upset, so I tried to lighten the mood by saying, "Hey, at least the weekend is coming up and you guys won't have to go to work." Apparently, they were upset because they both got laid off from their jobs today. FML
Today, I was complaining to my friend how I was doing all the work in my group, and that they were getting all the credit. Her response? "It's OK, you're doing a shitty job anyway." FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years threatened to break up with me because when she came by my work, she saw me talking to another girl. The girl was a trainee. I'm the boss of the company, so it's my responsibility to train new people. FML
Today, I accidentally called my boss "Mom." Now she is jokingly telling everyone that I'm the long-lost daughter she gave up for adoption, because she knew I'd be a failure. FML
Today, the good news is that my girlfriend is pregnant. The bad news is that twins run in her family. Worse, so do triplets, and I just recently lost my job. FML
Today, my mom started her new job; she's now my new coworker. She's already told the other girl I'd said she talks too much, and has berated me for not calling her "Mom" while at work. FML
Today, I was talking with my closest coworker about her boss. She told me that she yelled at her and told her, "You capricious and silly girl, you have to be more independent and brave for this job. You are a lawyer; think about your duties." She told me this as her boss came up behind us. FML
Today, I ended a relationship because she told me that I was "like a father." FML
Today, my supervisor at work is now my father-in-law. My girlfriend told me that. FML
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Most teenagers aren't responsible for a whole family. So who wouldn't jokingly say that. Either she is the mother of children or she is over 16 (in which she could easily move out if necessary, but probably wont because siblings would then be put into some kind of foster care). If shes taking care of her siblings with her parents around, why arent they on disability?... I feel for the kid who asks, its definitely not THAT typical of a situation.

Yea, it's more of a FHL. But this is another good case of foot in the mouth.

This isn't a YDI. There's a very slim chance she was actually responsible for an entire family and by no means should you have expected her to be. FYL, and also FHL.

Aw, poor girl. My boyfriend was given the responsibility to raise his siblings at a very young age, its tough in the long run. Their mother had disowned them, their father was dead, and their grandmother who adopted them was too lazy to get a job. Your friend better be treating this girl really well. :D

You didn't know, chill dude. I'd say the same thing if I didn't know her. Not really am FML. I guess technecally YDI, but its not really a big deal.

If you don't have to spend that much time with her, I wouldn't worry. Or if you'll never see her again it's not that big of a deal. But how would you know..? First: Name 1 other person that cares other than you. :D Thats really getting annoying.

I agree with those pointing out how it was a belittling comment regardless if she was supporting her family. Just because she's a teenager doesn't mean money can't be a problem for her.
