Today, after being told by her therapist to try to make her kids a bigger part of her life because we're so distant from her, my mom's new favorite thing to do is to constantly use the words "YOLO" and "swag" around us. FML

Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML

Today, my mom friended all my friends on Facebook then thought it'd be a good idea to try and act like a teen so she'd be considered 'cool'. FML

Today, my mother learned a new expression and uses it in every sentence. Her special, new expression is "boom diggity." It's apparently "hip." FML

Lame

Today, I took my kids to visit their grandma. At one point while playing, my youngest said "Shit!", so I admonished her. My mom snorted and told me to "stop being such a little bitch", because it will make my kids into "lame prisses like their mother." FML

Today, my mom tried to give me a pep talk to boost my self confidence. Somehow, it ended up turning into a conversation about how much of a loser I am and how I have no friends. FML

Stay mad

Today, my mother is upset that I won’t share things with her anymore. This is the woman who spent my entire childhood gossiping about every teeny tiny detail of my life, and used my suicide attempt as a way to garner pity for herself. Yeah, no thanks. FML

Today, I discovered my mom has over 20 sites bookmarked on her laptop, all having to do with 'How To Boost Your Insecure Teen's Confidence' or 'How To Help Your Overweight Teen Have A Positive Self Image'. Thanks, Mommy. FML

Today, I went to family therapy because my mom wanted the family to be closer. When asked what her biggest disappointment was in life, she turned to me and said, "Having a gay son" then patted my hand, smiled, and said "No offense, honey." FML

May God have mercy on this generation, that's all I ever hear nowadays. Even on Xbox Live.

At least she is trying to be apart of your life and trying to fit in. You might want to help her with her lingo so this doesn't happen in public :)

The people around me use the words 'yolo' and 'swag' (even 'yoloswag' X) ) all the time, but don't worry guys, we do it for fun, just, 'cause it's funny to say ;)

Sounds a tiny bit overbearing. Do something fun with her OP! It'll make her think you're less distant :)

You should start using "groovy" and "far out."

Al little bit of love for your mom because she tried it! Even though yolo and swag are not that cool. And that is saying it in a nice way(a)

Be nice, get her to stop using idiot slang and do something fun with the whole family so she doesn't feel left out. Take up a sport or hobby that she can participate in too, or cook her a sunday roast dinner. You don't know how long you'll have her left in your life so make her happy.
