Today, while discussing my grades with my mother, she told me that when she was my age she was dumb but hardworking, and my dad was lazy but very smart. She then added, "You managed to get the worst out of each of us." FML

Well if those were her back to words of encouragement then her own self-description appears entirely accurate. God love her she's trying hard to be supportive and meant well.

I actually understand what that means. My sister doesn't work hard at all to make good grades, while I had to get tutored and study like a slave! However, she can't lift a finger to clean or do anything like that to save her life. On the other hand, I can do almost any kind of hard labor.

Well by the sounds of it you have a fulfilling future in fast food so those manual labour skills should come in handy.

you are a douche bag, Bob. and I would never work for your shitty lawn service. I made great grades. I just had to work harder than my sister. and FYI, a school drop-out can beat a college graduate through hard work.

It was a douche bag comment and I apologise. What seemed like an amusing if somewhat meanspirited joke at the time just looks a little less amusing in the cold light of dawn.

That was pretty harsh, but you're not dumb at all. If your profile is correct, you are a Brazilian, therefore English is not your first language. Yet, you managed to write this FML in English, and did so very well. That can only mean you're very smart or you had someone write it for you, and I highly doubt the ladder.

Because calling your child lazy and dumb is always the best motivator. FYL, OP.

Wow, at first sight that was really mean from your mother. If she has hurt your feelings because of that then I think it's time for some heart to heart conversation (when you're up to it). But bare in mind maybe she didn't want to hurt you, parents are as human as their children and they make mistakes too. I still have those kind of conversations with my mother: 'what did you mean when you said .... because it sounded really hurtful to me. And then my mother goes:'oh no, I didn't want to hurt you, I just meant ...' So don't worry too much about it.

So much for supportive parents sorry OP. But I know the feeling I got the worst traits from my parents too
