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.

YDI for not beating your son straight after hearing this.

i think it's wrong for people to judge the son for being gay. But he should have told him b4

He never said that he was upset his son was gay...that's just not a good way to find out. I bet that if the pool boy had started defending his right to sleep with the guy's daughter, that would have made it to FML as well. Finding out that there was a relationship AND that his son didn't feel he could reveal his orientation to him AND that it was going on right under his nose, in his own house, could be the reason for this FML. In that case, yeah, YLIF. If it IS because of his orientation itself, not just the situation, well...I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, but that explains why your son didn't tell you, and you brought the situation on yourself. If your son can't come to you, it's going to make things a LOT harder for him.

Well it sucks you found out that way, but one would hope the FML doesn't come from your son being gay.

You know it's quite possible that the OP already knew his son was gay and the shock was at finding out that he is sleeping with a beer-stealing-pool-guy. Those of you who said that the OP should beat his son until he is straight, well considering the recent spread of states legalizing gay marriage I am comfronted to know that you kind is dwindling, or at least getting silenced a bit more.

WOW... You better have a nice, good-looking, disease-free pool boy! FYL for not knowing about their relationship.

DUN DUN DUNNNN, THE PLOT THICKENS. XD I'm sorry, I had to say that... Anyways, I agree with #17. Kind of a sucky way to find out... But as long as your son is happy, right?
