Today, I was upset after a fight with my husband, so I cried alone in the bedroom. My 4-year-old son then comes in and hugs me. I thought he was trying to comfort me, but he then told me he had to go get his quarter my husband had promised to pay him if he made me shut up. FML

Same thing different taste
Supportive
Today, I was crying after having argued with my boyfriend. My mom saw me, she asked, "Why are you crying? Don't you have homework to do?" FML
Today, I went to see my mother with my kids. Before, I had told my son to give her hugs and kisses and I would buy him candy. He did, but then he told her that I said that. FML
Today, my mom's friend came over. She brought her son and claimed that we could have bonding time. I ended up chasing the five-year-old around the house for an hour. After they'd left, my mom saw that the little kid had broken a lamp and a clock. She then said I had to pay for it using my money. FML
Back-seat parenting
Today, I yelled at my oldest son for picking his little brother up by the throat. Only to then be yelled at my my mother-in-law for hurting his feelings. FML
Pure evil
Today, my son got in an argument with my boyfriend, packed up his stuff, and moved in with his dad. Not five minutes later I saw my boyfriend doing his stupid happy dance. When angrily confronted, he admitted he orchestrated every argument for months until he got the result he wanted, my son gone. FML
Wise kid
Today, I had to give my four year-old daughter some tough love, which I hate doing. When she ran away crying, my son, her twin brother, looked at me and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself." FML
Home sweet home
Today, when I got home from the store, the dog was wiping his ass on the carpet, my two older boys were brawling, my youngest was crying because he'd broken a glass and cut himself, and my husband was in the kitchen, eating the cake I'd told him to leave alone. FML
Gold digger
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Time out
Today, after a fight, my boyfriend brought me a soda that exploded when I opened it. Furious at his constant childish bullshit, I threw his ass out. Two hours later, my son confessed that he'd shaken the cans as a joke. I tried to call my boyfriend, but he'd blocked my number. FML
Tetchy
Today, my husband broke a set of dishes, told me I had to clean it all up, and stormed out of the house. It’s now 3:30am and he still hasn’t come home. Our 5 year-old son keeps asking about him. What warranted all this? Asking him how his day went. FML

Good Idea! You should've given him a dollar to do something to return the favor though!

congratulations op, you have married a ****.

Only a quarter?

Agreed, how disrespectful. How will the husband feel when the 4 year old grows up thinking he can do hurtful things to people for a bit of cash? That was really childish of the husband to get his son involved like that. I wouldn't blame your son though, OP. It's a high chance that he did not know what was going on and how hurtful it was.

this FML is so unbelievably wrong. he should have charged your husband 75 cents!

Why do all the girls chase after the guys with chlamydia...

pay him 2 quarters to go punch him in the balls

Yeah, because having your 4 year old assault your husband is such a great idea.

I agree with 55! Also, OP you should rethink this marriage of yours. Your husband sounds like an emotional terrorist. :( You should seriously talk to him about treating you better! No one deserves to be treated like that by someone they love.

OP, you both should read The Seven Principles of Successful Marriages (I don't have the book on me so I may have the title slightly incorrect). It will help your relationship.

That kid will be a great business man when he grows up, if I was him I'd make u pay me to leave and have the husband pay me to go bak, in the end I'd have an easy $50 ;)

Pick pocketing level 99 reached. Your son may acquire the level 99 skill cape.
happyhak 5
That runescape joke failed for 2 reasons: 1) The 4 year old did not pickpocket anything. The father GAVE him the quarter 2) Even if he did pickpocket the quarter, how would ONE quarter master his pickpocketing skill? Noob
Wheredidgrungego 12
So true. You'd have to pickpocket like a killer whale from some dude to get to level 99.
marinus_fml 19
Happyhak, So you're saying it's impossible to get 99 from one pickpocket? The son could have been on lvl 98 and needed only 1 more pickpocket. By that logic you couldn't reach lvl 99 from pickpocketing anything. Personally I'd reach 99 on a farmer or something. And I'd reach 99 cooking on a shrimp! Just saying. It said the son had to go get his quarter, and doesn't say the father gave it to him.

Lol this joke failed for a whole slew of reasons but the big one was your willingness to defend said joke.

While the original joke didn't quite work out (perhaps marinus misread the FML at first -- and we all know how often that happens around here), what's wrong with rebutting the other guy's response when it contained a bit of illogic? I always enjoy seeing a bit of back-and-forth dialogue on here.
happyhak 5
Right, marinus, so basically what you're saying is this 4 year old, who probably does not fully understand the value of money, is a master pickpocket. Yep, he must of done a lot of pickpocketing in his 4 years of learning the basics of life. I bet he started pickpocketing his fellow babies in a daycare of their toy keys while being unable to walk. OP should be lucky to have a criminal at such a young age...

You must HAVE not learned English very well to think that "must of" makes any sense at all! The word you're looking for is actually a contraction correctly spelled it's: "must've"! For instance "You must've failed English classes in Elementary School."

The husband probably reached 99 asshole, must've been the trimmed version too...

It kinda sucks when children become the middle person. He's too young to understand why his mummy is crying. Your husband taught him how to take advantage of the situation. How sad :(
