Today, I aced my solo during my band concert. My parents were asleep the whole time. FML
I agree, your life sucks 46 859
You deserved it 4 443

onyx_the_cat tells us more.

The situation is more moral grey than I can describe. My mom has back problems and they get worse during winter, so she was in a lot of pain. She was in so much pain, she couldn't even get up and she stayed home to sleep while I was at my concert. I was a little disappointed, but I knew the situation. My dad on the other hand slept through my solo while at the concert. That man can sleep through anything. My mom once said when they were at a club he slept in front of the speakers. Unfortunately, my dad had to get to work at 5 AM and was really tired when he got home. I didn't know that when I wrote the FML though. He was honest about it though, but I wish he would of tried harder. My parents felt really awful, especially since they always been so supportive of me. Also, I'm a bit selfish because even after my dad said he worked early I was still sad about it. We all talked about it and everything is good now. They admit what they did was wrong despite some of the things being out of their control. My parents are caring people. They wouldn't just go to sleep during a concert without a reason (well kind of with my dad who can sleep anywhere). I would say it was an FML for both me and my parents because they really wanted to hear my solo.

That's just what happens when you become a parent.. Come 3pm it's all over. I'm lucky if I make it to 5pm without falling asleep, face in my dinner.

Don't worry, I'm here clapping for you...

Get a butterfinger cup. It'll cheer you up.

Aaw that sucks. But at least they cared enough to show up! :)

Ahhhh that sucks :( keep rockin/rollin

Congrats on a stellar performance. Keep on working hard despite the apparent lack of interest on your parents part. At least they showed up.

Aww that sucks! At least you did well on your solo :)

Make them feel bad then extort them for gifts...

So manipulative! Sooooo.... Eeeeeevil... So... Perfect. Great plan, kid. I like your style. I just hope I don't have a 14 year old boy as cunning as you someday.
