Kids these days…

By Anonymous - 13/04/2009 02:39 - United States

Today, my two year-old cousin was having a temper tantrum. I decided to give him a flashlight because playing with it usually distracts him. It didn't. Instead, he hit me in the face with it as hard as possible, leaving a bruise. FML

Today, I asked my 2 year old son to clean up his toys. When I bent down to give him a good job kiss afterwards, he punched me in the nose. FML

Today, my 2-year-old son put his hand on my face, gave me a sweet kiss, and put his cheek against mine. Then he slapped me hard enough to leave a mark, laughed, and scrambled away. FML

Little shit

Today, I was asked to take care of my 3 year-old little brother. After 15 minutes of him screaming and me trying to keep him entertained, he started throwing his toy cars at me. He hit me in the mouth, and I started to bleed. My parents yelled at me for "not controlling him." FML

Demon child

Today, I was babysitting a two year-old. He was messing around with a silver fork and I told him it was dangerous. He then got mad at me, started crying, and stabbed me right in the foot. Be warned, even though they're little, they can still cause a lot of pain. FML

Not her fault neither mine

Today, my 4 year old daughter got royally annoyed at my uncle who won't stop surprise tickling her by poking her waist. When he went for another, she punched him square on the nose, making him a laughing stock. Not accepting that he got owned, he started preaching about child discipline to me. FML

Today, my 5 year old daughter thought it would be funny to wake me up by tickling my toes. I guess one of my reflexes acted out because I kicked her right in the face. FML

Today, my son accidentally damaged another kid in the face with a baseball bat, while blindfolded trying to hit a piñata. Except there was no piñata, or blindfold. FML

Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML

Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML

Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML

my god, do people let you watch their children? why would it have ever made sense to hand an angry child blunt objects to pacify him? whether it's worked before or not, a kid that young is going to hurt you, someone else, someTHING, or him/herself. poor judgment on your part so, sorry, no sympathy from me. couldn't have handed him something soft, like a plushie, that wouldn't leave a bruise?

What happened to discipline? I see parents trying to persuade their kids into behaving. That's why there are so many awful teenagers who have no manners. It's called a time out.

Temper tantrum = the kid needs a time out to cool off. Leave him where he is (assuming he's in a safe place) and let him freak out for a few minutes; he'll calm down once he realizes you're not reacting.

Well, the poster said it usually distracted the kid so they assumed that that would happen. They didn't know the kid would just slam it into their face. Obviously they didn't think it through, but it sounds like a snap decision because the kid wouldn't calm down otherwise. So shut up about the poster being "stupid enough to give the kid a weapon". I bet the kid calmed down after he hit them, though, haha.

Next time, I would suggest having him watch a movie or giving him a toy that can't injure you? I can't stand kids.

Hehe, you'll learn that one quick. Never give a weapon or anything resembling one to an angry toddler. And to #17, spankings should be reserved for the parents or anyone whom they've specifically given permission to. And in this case, the OP should have known better so I'm not sure a spanking is in order. Just take it from him and put him in his room.

eh, i see the point about *specifically* be given permission, but it's the OP's little cousin so it's not like he/she's a random person -- it's family. family should be allowed to instill a reasonable amount of discipline right?
