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.

So true. Unless he has some sorta condition preventing him from doing it himself, he should get off of his lazy ass and do it himself.

I did not get the impression reading the FML post that the issue was that the son was gay, instead, I seem to have gotten the vibe that it was more of an issue of the beer being stolen and the son dating an employee who on top of that was stealing... even if it IS the issue, it's not the best way to learn such a thing, it's got to have come as a shock! Furthermore, I used to play make believe that I was rescuing the beautiful princess and such as a child and we skipped away into the sunset and lived happily ever after. I wasn't abused, I didn't have a traumatic childhood, I never thought that I was a boy, I've always been a feminine girl, was raised to be straight and corrected for my make believes. I grew up in a christian home, went to church on Sundays, believe that Christ is my lord and savior, and I am homosexual. I didn't ask to be homosexual, I didn't try to be homosexual and I've never wanted to be homosexual. I've tried to force myself to like men, it doesn't work that way. If it did, I wouldn't be sitting here scared to death of loosing my family because I'm a lesbian and to them, that is unacceptable.

It sucks you had to find out like that but that's life. Your son should have come out to you earlier. Being gay shouldn't be a problem if you are a good parent because you want your son to be happy. Live with it. And you might want to put your beer somewhere else...

Who the hell has a pool boy anymore? Clean the shit yourself. You could avoid both problems that way. :]

>.> Why are people making homosexuality the issue? Replace the 'pool boy' with 'pool girl' or the 'son' with 'daughter' and it's still an awkward situation >.>

Less awkward because lesbians are hot. ;) FYL OP, now you have a gay son and no beer.

Moron. He said "or" not "and." He wasn't talking about lesbians. He was talking about even if one of the genders change (meaning, so it would be a straight relationship), it would still be an awkward situation.
