Kids: Little git

Today, I gave my 7-year-old a snowglobe. I had spent the last week deconstructing it, putting an action figure of his favorite cartoon character inside, and then putting it back together. Later, I find it smashed into pieces because he wanted to "play with the toy it came with." FML

Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML

Today, I made my first snowman ever, and then cried when my big brother kicked it to pieces. I'm 27. FML

Today, I finally bought the toy my two year old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I give him the present, and he starts playing with the bag. FML

Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML

Today, at work, I had to help a teenager who was stuck in a toy car for kids, and no, it was not in one piece when she finally got out. FML

Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML

Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML

Today, I was working at my retail job. A customer stopped me on my way to break saying "someone" had broken a snow globe. She showed me where it was and I cleaned it up with her circling me. I finished and put the cleaning supplies away when I heard a 'crash' as the same woman dropped another snow globe. FML

Today, my daughter had a meltdown when I told her I donated some of her old toys to Goodwill. It turns out Toy Story has taught her that toys have feelings and that she has a meaningful relationship with them. She's in her teens. FML

Today, my child thinks it's hilarious to continuously pour his entire Lego collection all over the floor. When I tidy it away, he does it all over again. FML

shouldn't a 7 year old know NOT to do shit like that?

That by the age of 7, they understand not to break gifts. Before I was 7, I knew perfectly well what a snowglobe was and that they were not meant to be broken for the item inside. I had, and still have, a certain nicely made one that I always thought was pretty. Her son may not have liked the gift as much as I liked mine, that's fine, but it doesn't give him an excuse to smash it. My thought is that, like any other mentally competent 7 year old, he knew what he was doing, he's just a little brat who doesn't appreciate what people give to him.

This is why you don't give little children expensive/time-intensive things.

Most 7 year olds don't want a snow globe. They would rather have the action figure. YDI

WHY THE HELL DOES ANYONE THINK A STUPID SNOWGLOBE IS AN APPROPRIATE GIFT FOR ANYONE, LET ALONE A 7 YEAR OLD??? ARE YOU ALL INSANE? If you think snowglobes are nice and you give one to someone as a present, you are only thinking of yourself and not what the other person would want. Most people (including most 7 year olds) think snowglobes are ridiculous. Why not give him a CHIA PET and a SNUGGIE while you're at it?

I simply asked a question: why does anyone think a snowglobe is an appropriate gift for anyone? Obviously some people think that snowglobes make for nice gifts. I don't understand why, so I asked for an explanation. No one is bothering to offer a good explanation... probably because there isn't one. AND... "most people think snowglobes are ridiculous" is not my opinion. It is a fact. If you think they are cool, then you're... special. If you have one, TwoKnives, please end the suspense and share.

I was referring to the "ARE YOU ALL INSANE?" part. They share a different opinion than you, so obviously they MUST be mentally infirm, because your opinion is infallible, right? Anyway, I think I used to have a snowglobe when I was a kid... I briefly thought it was cool then put it on a shelf to get dusty. I might've been younger than seven. Regardless, a snowglobe's shelf appeal is its only appeal as far as I can tell - people don't actually USE them more than once or twice, do they? - so it would be an appropriate gift for anyone who collects knick-knacks, trinkets, mementos, curios, decorations, oddities, gewgaws, novelties, conversation pieces, baubles, souvenirs and/or bric-a-brac.

Children are so ungrateful. By that age he should have realized you aren't supposed to destroy a present someone gave you. But hey, he's young. Hopefully he learned a lesson from it. And now you know to get him something less fragile.
