Love and Kids: Leave them alone

Leave them alone

By Anonymous - 23/07/2009 11:13 - Greece

Today, I said to our pool-boy, "I know what you're doing, and you have to stop it." He started shouting that I had no right to tell them what to do and that they were in love. He was referring to his relationship with my eldest son. I wanted to tell him to stop drinking my beers. FML

Today, I started work cleaning a customer's pool. I think her husband watches too much porn because he keeps glaring at me from the windows, and I overheard him telling his wife that he knows what's "going on" and that he's "not gonna let it happen". FML

Today, I had to explain to my 18-year-old boyfriend why it is not okay to pee in the pool. FML

Today, I was at the pool with two boys I babysit. The eldest wouldn't get out of the pool so I pretended to call his dad. He then ran out of the pool, pushed me down, grabbed my phone, chucked it into the pool and then ran back into the pool. FML

Today, I went to the pool with my son. One moment I'm sitting down, applying sunscreen to my legs, and the next I look up to see him squatting on the diving board, seconds before dropping a deuce into the pool. As we got kicked out, he screamed that it was my fault. FML

Misunderstanding

Today, my husband tried to annoy me by slurping on his almost-finished drink. I yelled at him to knock it off. Later, our daughter told her class that mommy and daddy had been fighting about his drinking during breakfast. FML

Today, my family and I were celebrating my dad's birthday. The two of us were standing by the pool chatting, and I jokingly said "You're old now." I suppose I should have expected him to shove me into the pool, my phone still in hand, and retort, "You're soaked now." FML

Today, I told my friend over the phone that I had to go drop the kids off at the pool. She told me that she didn't need to know about my bathroom habits and hung up on me. I really had to take my children to the local swimming pool for swim lessons. FML

Today, as a supervisor at a water park, several clients came up to me and complained about a topless girl in our wave pool. I found the girl, called her out, and politely told her that she was not allowed in the pool without a top. "She" was a fat 15 year-old boy. FML

Today, a really drunk couple staggered into the store I work at. One of them yelled at me, "Hey you! Kid! Tell us where the booze is at!" This would have been funny if these people weren't my parents. FML

Today, a couple yelled at me and reported me to the homeowner association for "watching them make out" at the pool. I'm the lifeguard. FML

I don't think OP's FMLing because of him being gay, but more because it was an awkward situation...

Um...I think one or two of you missed the point (like #2), OP wasn't mad that the pool boy and his son were in a gay relationship, he just wanted the pool boy to STOP DRINKING HIS BEER. He probably didn't know his son was gay, or if he did, he didn't care.

Haha, that's rad. Sounds like the beginnings to some terrible gay cinema. I think we all need to calm down.... I'm gay, big whoop... but really if you think being gay is wrong, or stupid..... either you've never met a gay person, or you are a stubborn moron, that's really what it comes down to.... so lets all shut up now. :)

If you're well-off enough in this economy to have a pool boy, there's no way your life is ****** up. Maybe you're shocked that your son is gay, but you'll probably get over it and learn to accept it (if Dick Cheney can, anyone can). Be thankful for your affluence, and be thankful for a healthy son who evidently is not a class snob (being involved with a pool boy) and who has the capacity to love and be loved. Think of the parents whose sons and daughters have died in accidents, incidents and overseas in wars, or by disease; those parents would give ANYTHING to have their children back.

Ask him to reimburse your missing beers in exchange for getting to watch him and your son have sex. Fair trade. And at least he's legal.

I guess that I am just more weirded out that you actually have a pool boy at all, much less a gay one. What happened to the middle class?

how is this really an fYl? I feel bad for your son for not having an accepting father, and for not being able to admit to you that he's gay. I don't know how this one got published, because your just a homophobic ass. Your son being gay is not an fml because its not bad. Get over it.

He didn't said anything that would lead someone to believe he is homophobic. He very well could be, but you can't assume that from what he said in the FML. Coming out to your parents isn't always easy to do, whether or not you believe your parents will be accepting. I imagine I'd be shocked too to learn more than I bargained for in that way. Not exactly FML, I agree, but it's still rather funny, retrospectively.
