Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML

Today, I had mice in the house and had to kill them with mousetraps. I pulled a trap out with a dead mouse and my four year-old son saw. Mice are his favorite animals, and now he won’t speak to me. FML

Sorry Mr Nibbles

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house, meeting his family for the first time. We were all standing in the kitchen when suddenly a small white and brown mouse ran by. Out of natural instinct, I stomped on it. Turns out, it was his little sister's pet mouse that had gotten out of its cage earlier. FML

Today, I work as an assistant to a sculptor. We finished all our projects early so his wife decided to have me clean their kitchen. I wasn't paying attention and picked up a dead mouse. I screamed and threw it away as hard as I could. It hit their five-year-old son in the face. FML

Today, after I'd saved a baby mouse and was filming a YouTube series of me taking care of it, my boyfriend told me he found a “rat” in the kitchen, but not to worry he killed it and fed it to the cat. He killed my baby mouse, and now he’s mad I didn’t praise him for his brilliant extermination job. FML

Today, I woke up at 6 a.m. and went into the kitchen, where I saw a mouse in front of the fridge. Petrified, I stood in the doorway shooing it for a few minutes. My husband then walked into the kitchen, picked up the "mouse", and threw it in the bin. It was a used tea bag. FML

Today, I found a dead squirrel under my son's bed. Apparently, he has been keeping it there as a "pet" for the past week. FML

Panic in the sheets

Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML

Today, I found a mouse stuck in a glue trap at work. I had to take it home to get it off with oil, and then I released it outside. Twenty minutes later, the cat returned it to me, dead. After that, the dogs dug it up where I buried it. Sorry, mouse. FML

Today, I set up a mouse trap to kill the rodent plaguing my kitchen. While lying in bed, I heard an unmistakable snap, and ran to see what I'd caught. The mouse trap was missing. I now have a large, angry, and possibly dying animal running around my house. FML

Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML

The mouse wasn't asking for a cookie. You didn't need to kill him.

Your son brings home his class pet and you don't know about it? YDI.

A class pet would have been in some sort of cage, tank or container of some sort, right? Wouldn't that kind of raise a flag as to whether you should kill it?

Replace the mouse. Then talk to the teacher about making sure they have your permission to bring the class pet home.

Am I the only one who thinks pet mice look completely different than wild mice?

The pets usually look a little different to the wild ones, but not in every case. Some people like to buy mice that look wild.

Most wild mice I've seen are brown, whereas the ones we had as pets had different markings. That said, I saw a wild mouse once with black spots, and one of our pets was brown, so that's not always the case.

You say YDI because OP didn't know their son had a mouse? How the hell can you just know these things? It's hardly OP's fault if her son doesn't say anything. FYL, OP.

Why was your kid shirking his mouse-sitting duties screwing around with soccer? He has one stinkin' day with the class pet, he needs to devote himself totally to the care, feeding, grooming and entertainment of Mr. Whiskers! The lazy shit should have painted the mouse's nails and entertained him with some Carpenters karaoke.

When kids get their class pets, they usually have to have them for at least one week. A mouse doesn't need to have attention 24/7. It most likely escaped the cage or the lid wasn't left on properly. He's only seven, many kids don't understand responsibility at that age, especially if they don't have any other pets. There is no need for him to leave a game of soccer just to sit beside a mouse. But, he should've alerted his parents that he was bringing it home.
