Lord give me strength

Today, my adult daughter was hospitalized for severe fever, diarrhea, and fainting. The doctor couldn't find any cause other than sleep deprivation, because I started making her wake up at 7 am. I’ve never met anyone so ridiculously weak in my entire life. FML

you strike as the kind of parent she's gonna dump in a nursing home and then never speak to you again and you'll deserve it 100%

Fever, diarrhea and vomiting are *not* symptoms of sleep deprivation, you STUPID arsehole. That Dr was also a ******* idiot who probably just wanted rid of you and your ******* horrific attitude problem. Your kid's probably got Norovirus (winter vomiting bug that can also cause fever and diarrhea) and you're in here vomiting bile ON YOUR CHILD for being *weak*? Hell, it could also be the physical manifestation of the sheer stress and emotional trauma of living with a complete and utter **** like you.

I hope she goes no-contact on your ass. She's an adult, you no longer have any say on her sleeping habits or anything else for that matter. How about you back the **** off? She's gonna leave one day and she will not contact you or inform you of any weddings or children she may have or anything like that. You're gonna miss your daughter's whole life. Maybe, she's weak because you abuse her. Did you every think about that?

Because her adult daughter lives with her and is constantly late on her job? Ever thought of that?

Firstly, whether she lives with her mother or not, the daughter is an ADULT. That means that whatever rules mother bestowed upon her daughter no longer have any relevance. Especially as the post does not mention the daughter living with her. Secondly, what if the daughter works late shifts and, therefore, needs to sleep later in the day in order to achieve full rest? What if she gets home at midnight and gets to sleep at 02:00 am. But mummy wants daughter up and barges into her room and wakes the daughter up? Thirdly, my hope that the daughter goes non-contact on mummy's arse, is because of the complete lack of empathy and care she shows in this post. Not "I hope my daughter is okay," or, "I didn't realise what I was doing to her, but now I do, I'm going to change my behaviour." But instead we get: "I've never met anyone so ridiculously weak in all my life." Why do you think this post has so many YDIs. She is displaying abusive behaviour. In any case, dude, these are assumptions as we don't really know what the cause of said symptoms are, whether she lives with her mother or not, nor whether or not she has a job. Of course, I thought of the scenario you posited, I'm just appalled at mother's behaviour. Which I would've thought was obvious, as I didn't mention dear daughters living or employment conditions.

I’m super curious as to when she goes to bed. Does she have a night job or something? If you’re a controlling parent who doesn’t take into consideration her schedule and let her handle things herself, than yeah, you’re not a good parent

ok. WOW. ok. PERFECT OUTLET. sorry for being mean but... UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE THIS DON'T DO THIS AGAIN. ALL I WANTED WAS 30 MINUTES AND I LOST MY LAST **** WALKING OUT OF A HOSPITAL TWICE AND WALKING HOME ON A KNEE BRACE AND CRUNCHES OVER PSYCH... NEVER SAY THIS AGAIN PLEASE. ESPECIALLY TO YOUR DAUGHTER. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE HER... please delete this.

The doctor said it, not her. And unless you're a doctor too, I don't blame her for valuing the doctors opinion over yours.

And we've never met a parent so ridiculously cruel, in denial, and selfish in our entire lives. Go get therapy.

If you're going to CV control your adult daughter's life the way you do, you've got to make sure she gets to bed at a sensible time at night too!

This sounds like epilepsy to me. Sleep deprivation can trigger epilepsy, and fainting and soiling one's self during a seizure is not uncommon. Epilepsy can, in some cases, also cause fever. But as for you, I hope you live long enough to see yourself dumped in a budget rest home, never visited by anyone.
