Today, my mom turned off all internet access in our house because she thought I spent too much time on the computer. She later asked me why she couldn't get on Facebook. FML

OP Here, and I spend up to 3 hours a day on the computer because I take a computer class and all the homework is online and that's why she turned it off. She called our provider and told them to turn it off, since she didn't know how. I didn't find out until I came home and attempted to do my homework, and by that point, my mom was in a fuss about not being able to get on Facebook. And since I'm her daughter, and clearly know nothing, she refused to believe me. My neighbor is the one who finally convinced her the internet was needed for Facebook.

She's not a very bright one.. Luckily you've got your smarts not from her.. Just state the obvious resin and maybe you'll get lucky and she'll turn it back on...Facebook can be pretty addicting..she might be one if the victims of that addiction.

I don't have Internet at home... I feel your frustration. My ma is the same type of person. Except we can't afford it. But she asks me phone questions all the time x.x

Sounds like something my mom would do, except she would scream at me for turning it off, and turn it back on.

Not in this case. I come from a family of coal miners and the first one to go to college. I'm study to get my VMD and business degree.

#61, Thanks for your comments, OP. Family background and eduction adds a whole other dimension. Maybe Mom is ambivalent about your education and how different from your family it might make you (happens more than you might think). Best of luck!

Well, I hope the loss of Facebook got your internet back. Hopefully you'll graduate soon and get your own internet with your awesome degree-level job. Don't let the stupid people get you down.

That's a bit mean #75, she is still her mother.

If it is then it works in funky ways. I have met people with very intelligent parents that are dumb as bricks and people with dumb as bricks parents with very intelligent kids. I know it's supposed to be hereditary but something is happening where these families are concerned.

#90 That mother turned off the internet, preventing the OP from doing their homework, and then questioned why the internet was off. Every word in that sentence should be proof that not all parents deserve to be told they're smart.

This one was barreling towards YDI until that last little tidbit came up. I'm sorry that you got such a dumbass of a mother
