Trauma for life

By he's still not convinced - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while visiting my mother, she asked my son who his favorite parent was. As a growing boy, he chose his father. I don't mind, except she then asked, "So, whose side are you taking in the divorce?" My husband and I have no marital issues. My son refuses to believe us. FML

Today, my husband came home from shopping with my 4 year-old daughter, and showed me a shirt she picked out herself. The shirt read "My mom's easy - I'm living proof." Apparently she just liked the colours and her father agreed. FML

Today, my mother and I walked past my boyfriend, whom she's never met. After we casually greeted each other and went on our way, my mother said, "He's cute. Who is he?" I paused for a second and replied, "That's my boyfriend." She then said, "Does he know that?" FML

Today, I was with my 3 year-old son in the doctor's office. During the exam, he informed the doctor that he doesn't sleep in mommy's bed anymore because mommy sleeps in her underwear and farts all night long. FML

Your mother is despicable. Why would she even do that?

She's attempting to plant the seed that will grow into an inevitable divorce. Clever girl.

Chronic Bitch Disorder affects hundreds of Americans alone! If you would like to help find a cure, mail any weapons or shovels to 1428 Elm Street in Springwood Ohio.

Best you can do is sit him down and tell him grandma wasn't being serious and that you and your husband plan to be together till death do you part.

Your mom is horrible!!! I'm so sorry. A decent mom would have worked the little bastard over with guilt, threats and bribes until he "chose" her daughter as the favorite parent. Where's the loyalty?

teasing kids is fun.... but don't be cruel about it. I dont understand why she would do that.. she had to have known it would hurt him and create problems that might effect him well on into adult hood
