Today, my mother gave my daughter a behavior chart. I noticed that "drinking beer" was at the top of one of the columns. It's a chart for my daughter to use on me so my mother can judge my parenting skills. I am currently losing a sticker right now for being on the computer. FML

Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML

Irony failure

Today, I was telling my teenage daughter about the effects from alcohol, and how she should not give in to peer pressure. While talking, I noticed that she was looking at me funny. There was a wine glass in my hand. FML

Today, my daughter asked me if we could make sticker art. Of course I said it was OK so she went to get some stickers. I wondered where she was going when she walked into the bathroom, but I didn't ask. I left the room and when I came back, her paper was blank and my pads were stuck to the wall. FML

Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML

Blackout drunk

Today, I left a concert with my drunk mother who had spilled beer all over my shirt. I drove her home and she slept it off. Later, my mom "found" my shirt in the laundry and grounded me for drinking behind her back. She won't believe me that it was her. FML

Today, I came home and saw on our fridge, "Please don't drink anymore, I really worry about your health" written by my 7-year-old daughter. I figured she wouldn't ever find out, so I opened the fridge. Then I found another note on a can that said, "So you're going to drink anyway?" FML

Today, my mom took a bright red sharpie and drew a red circle just above my breasts. She said, "If I can see this, ever, your shirt is either too low cut or too see through and it will be thrown away." FML

Today, I was watching a home video of when my mom was pregnant with me. She had a beer in her hand. FML

We need to talk…

Today, I took a look at my 9-year-old daughter's diary, thinking it would be full of cute stuff. Instead, it was full of hateful rants against me and my husband, as well the boys at her school, who she called gay because none of them ever hit on her. It seems I've failed as a parent. FML

Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML

YDI if you actually put up with this. Discipline your daughter and get your mother in line. You're the big girl now.

LMAO! I so understand where your daughter is coming from, lol! my girls are now 19 and 26 and have tried using the techniques on me as I did on them. We end up laughing about it. As the parent tho, lead by example and follow through, just bump back her bedtime if she messes with your stickers!

Agreed with almost everyone. You need to tell your mother that she shouldn't be telling your daughter to do something degrading to you like that. You're the parent here, not your mother or daughter. And your mother needs to step off. Also, your daughter shouldn't be put through this type of responsibility. On top of telling your mom the above, tell her that this is too much of a responsibility for your daughter to handle, and that she is getting way out of line to encourage the idea that your daughter is the boss.

Am I the only one wondering why the OP is actually letting her daughter keep the chart and mark her off for doing "bad" things? The real indicator of the OP's parenting skills is that she's actually letting her daughter use the chart.
