Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML

Today, my four year old got mad that he couldn't find his favorite character on the Wii. So, he decided to smash the Wii remote into my $700 LCD TV, shattering the screen. That was the only TV in the house, and the $80 service plan I bought doesn't cover accidental damage. FML

Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML

Today, I had to purchase a new flat screen TV for the bar I work at. Last night I was dared to break an ashtray against the wall. I completely missed the wall and smashed the screen of the new TV they bought last month. FML

Today, I spent over $2,000 on a big flatscreen TV. My dad insisted I let him mount it on the wall instead of paying someone to do it. All seemed fine, until the TV came loose and smashed onto the floor. My dad refuses to accept responsibility, and says I should've had a professional install it instead. FML

Today, my son ruined our fairly new 60 inch smart TV by giving it a bath with his squirt gun. FML

Warranties don't cover kids, do they?

Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML

Today, I threw a party. My drunk boyfriend decided to bring my 50-inch flatscreen TV downstairs from our bedroom. The TV didn't make it. FML

Today, someone took my flatscreen TV at my garage sale because some kid snuck a "free" label onto it. FML

Try throwing the tv at the kid to teach it a lesson?

That child would not have Christmas or a birthday for a decade, I don't even care if they are a toddler.

Aside from the fact that your a moronic Canadian and clearly a horrible father, the fact that you are an foolish person for making such a purchase instead of taking proper care of your kid is the big issue. And how pathetic that all you random people on here are saying the man should kill the kid smash his toys break the baby's neck...wow i mean really. go sterilize yourself or slit your own throat. you should never reproduce.

that kid must be very strong to break a flatscreen tv with a toy. with a toss like that he should play american football. I think i would have a hard time breaking our flatscreen with an object.

that's what you get for not using protection. a condom and something to protect the tv.

Things people with kids ned to realize: 1) you're not allowed to own nice things until the kids move out. 2) you're not allowed to go to the movies until the kids can converse freely, instead of crying when they are hungry, tired, etc.

YDI. you need to wait a few years for him/her to get older before investing in stuff like that.

OP is a dumbass. If you only bought it two hours ago, get it fixed under the warranty. Stop complaining and do something about it

Hope you got the extended warranty. Or give him this Punishment: No toys, no birthday party, no Christmas, and no fun until he turns 18 or the Money for the tv is paid. Whichever comes first. And when he grows, always broccoli.
