Today, my mother yelled at me, telling me I'm irresponsible and lecturing me on how I need to "plan ahead like an adult." All because I asked to borrow a tampon. FML

For all of you wondering about the "borrowing" part, no I was not planning on actually giving it back. But asking to borrow something seems much more polite than demanding someone to give you something. On another note, I think this was just my mother's breaking point. We do have a very strained relationship and had actually been arguing all morning. I just thought it was funny that this was the thing she chose to snap on me for. Much love, thanks guys!

Next month, hide all of her products a few hours or days before and see if she asks the same of you. If she does, repeat the same thing she said to you, she'll get it, and won't say anything like that again. Good luck op.

maybe she was weirded out by you asking to "borrow" a tampon which implies you intended to give it back. perhaps ask to HAVE a tampon lol

Willing to bet the OP is probably under-prepared for a large variety of other things, which would have led to said lecture being deserved, and not ridiculous. Just a hunch.

Borrow a tampon? So you're planning on giving it back when you're done using it?

Maybe she is a little excessive, but she does have a point.

My mother and I also have a strained relationship. I feel your pain.

That sounds horrible. I hope 'borrow' is not meant in the literal sense. ?

You can borrow a tampon. No you don't give back the same one but when you buy a box you give the person one back. Just like if you borrow a dollar you pay the person back with a different dollar.
