Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML

Today, I had to ban a mom from practice, which sadly meant the kid had to leave too. Several times the mom had been loud, disruptive and even rushed onto the mat because I wasn’t teaching her son the "right way". I’m a third degree black belt and I teach 5-6 year olds on my days off. FML

Today, my mom told me to do karate with her, and so I said no. Now my mom won't let me do anything until I go do karate with her. FML

Today, my mum came to my ballet class. She spent the whole lesson sitting at the back yelling at me to, "Stop sticking your butt out!" My ballet instructor had to ask her several times to pipe down. FML

Today, my mom kept swearing and punished me while I was in an online lesson. I almost got punished by the teacher as well. FML

Today, my mother followed me to work to see what I got up to. I'm a fitness instructor in a ground floor gym that has big windows overlooking the street. She stood outside and waved at me for half an hour, while I tried to concentrate on teaching a visibly amused class. FML

Little shit

Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML

Doormat blues

By Anonymous - 11/05/2024 02:00 - United States

Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me for fighting with my younger brother. Not because she wanted us to stop, but because my brother couldn't find a good comeback to my argument. FML

Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML

Reminds me of the parents yelling from the sidelines of a sporting event but everything they're yelling doesn't actually apply to that particular sport. - SHOOT THE PUCK INTO THE BASKET FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!

Is she not informed about what you do there? It should have been painfully obvious.

Painfully obvious? That's new.

9, that's not a new phrase. Here are a few examples: "It was painfully obvious he had broken his ankle." "It was painfully obvious she had broken up with him for a new beau." The phrase, "painfully obvious," essentially means is so ridiculously obvious even a blind man would see it.

I was always under the impression it was so obvious it literally gave you a headache trying to understand how the person you are uttering that phrase to could be so moronic as to not understand what you are describing.
