Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML
Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. 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 4-year-old daughter stood up to a bully in the mall. I was the one who was getting bullied. FML
Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML
Not now!
Today, I was in a department store with my three year old daughter to buy some new jeans. I took her into the dressing room with me and as I began to take off my pants she yells, "Mommy, you can't go peepee in here!!" I am no longer welcome in that particular store. FML
No more bring your kids to work days
Today, I took my 6 year-old to work. A normally docile child, she chased me around with her toy - beating me with it while all my colleagues watched - not stopping despite me requesting her to. When she finally lost said toy, she threw a huge tantrum. Guess who's banned from my office. FML
Today, my daughter spent three hours crying and having a temper tantrum over being forced to have a bath after four days without one. My daughter is 16. FML
Today, I had to profusely apologize to a woman after my six year old son decided to crawl between her legs at the supermarket, then look up her skirt and loudly ask why she didn't have any panties on. FML
Today, a girl in my class threw a temper tantrum. Why? Because she wanted my seat. We're in high school. FML

Please tell me you had the common sense not to give in to her?

I think I speak for the entire fml community when I say that I really REALLY hope you did not give in.

Imagine this brat as a teenager. you still have chance to fix it, OP.
TourettesGuyFTW 25
Next she'll be wanting a full make-up kit, stilettos and a poodle.

oh dear, what has happened to the world
Rainhawk94 27
I blame the media
TourettesGuyFTW 25
And women's magazines.
blinked_281 29
why would she? there's nothing to push up! It wouldn't just be stupid, it'd be a waste of money, too.
mattjamt 16
Wouldn't it be stupid BECAUSE it wastes money? so really .. we can just call it stupid and be done with it.
jw90 18
When she's 8 she'll be getting pissed you don't buy her crotchless panties.

...aren't women's magazines media, 47?

That's when you perform the classic Jeff Foxworthy. Walk around the corner, come back then say loudly. Where are your parents!!!!

I was simply homing in on one particular vile source of negative influence, 103.
Stazza11 27
I don't blame the media at all, I blame the mother and the shit she is letting her daughter see.
Testing1234 25
This doesnt surprise me due to the fact that i sometimes see 1st grade girls with the tiniest of shorts.
MrsDruidess 23
really, I blame the parents when kids have fits of epic proportions in public because obviously they allow them to at home. regardless of what the kid wanted (that's a whole mother issue but could easily be explained if they have older kids around) that type of behavior is not OK. OP I hope you don't ever give into those fits again, it will hurt her in school and in he long run. I know its not the popular topic here but its still important.
little_star78 13
I don't think that's necessarily true, my 6 year old sister knows that tantrum shit won't fly at home but she's done it a time or two in public because she knows she'll cause a scene and that we can't discipline her (she's put in time out and has to sit there until she's been quiet for 6 minutes) like we do at home. She does it to try to get us embarrassed enough to give in and get what she wants.
TrinityNevada 11
I have totally timed my son out in public and he's 12. He's a good kid, but he knows that if he acts like a baby, he'll be treated like one.
diarheea101 11
its not like her op can control the aisles in a store.

Second comment status.

not for long

I didn't even know what a push up bra was at six. What is society doing to children...

She should raise her kids better
CrissyyyS2 22
If OP gave in... I really hope OP bought it in their own size so she can use it for herself.
\ 28
Why the **** do they make them for 6-year-old kids?
XanderScythe 11
She has probably watched honey boo boo and wants to be "pretty."
epiphone123 12
Aha, but really, you should be a little worried.
juststephhere 23
She shouldn't be worried! I did this all the time as a child.
coversquirrel 8
And look how you turned out
awsamb 8
Need some ice for that burn?
1dvs_bstd 41
... and started giving head when you were 10, how do you like it in skankville?
hazardoussmiles9 22
How did she turn out, 73? I'm assuming you know her well enough to make a snarky comment like that, or did you just judge her by viewing her profile? Not cool.
Spider_Web 11
U mad, bra?
hazardoussmiles9 22
Nah, just a bit annoyed. I predicted the down-votes though. I'm just content I said something, even if it made me look like a whiny, over-sensitive bitch.
ItsAUnicorn 27
Maybe, if she really really wants one (probably because all of the girls in her class also have one.. Idk) you could buy her a soft, cotton one (pushup is like, impossible) But you could better tell her why she doesn't need one yet, and explain why women wear bras and you can only wear pushups when you actually have breasts... Good luck OP And for all the comments above, how the **** could the OP give in on buying her daughter a ******* push up bra? You can't even find one for only her chest size, how the **** would you find a cup?
Lilxpie 18
So its normal nowadays for 6 year old girls to have pushup bra's? Or even a bra?
rocker_chick105 31
But you're basically telling OP to give in, so your last paragraph confuses me.
Rainhawk94 27
I personally think like all little kids want imitate their mom,dad, or siblings. maybe she just wanted to be like mommy. I'm not saying op should get her a bra, just saying that might be the reason
raininginseattle 9
Yes. Please give in to the child by buying her something like the one she wanted and telling her it's better. That won't raise a monster. And the bra fitting the child is a non issue. I wanted a car at 12. I'm sure the reason my parents didn't get it for me was they don't come in my size.
jeepers_1 21
Yes let's over sexualize the six year old. I'm sure she'll turn out great.
confusedAsFuck 34
Next month she'll throw away another tantrum because she wants a vibrator, like the one mummy have..

#5, that was ******* ridiculous. I don't even know where to begin, don't ever have kids.
Fa11en_Leafs 7
She's six, not eleven.
anitriarose 5
102 - so it's ok for 11 year olds to have push up bras?
TheNewGuy03 28
I will kill myself before I witness an entire generation of babies wearing sexualized clothing.
mansen 15
go into a la senza girl store. take a look around. you can find pretty much anything padded in there. And you can find padded 'bras' for a 6yr old. and padded bikinis, and padded and push up...welcome to the new reality....kids are not allowed to be kids. Unless parents stomp their foot down on any friggin sales associate that comes near their 6yr old kid or preteen for that matter, and swears they will not let their foot off their throats unless they back away with the padded boobie stupidity!!! (sorry, have a 6yr old daughter, this padded push up stuff for lil girls drives me nuts!).
Rainhawk94 27
if its so darn stupid.why would you suggest that store to op
mansen 15
because #5 mentioned she didn't know if there was such a store to get such tiny bras for little girls. I was pointing out that sadly, and disgustingly, yes, yes there is. It was the one a neighbour mentioned to me in a convo about these types of things, and I am sure it isn't the only store that offers that type of thing. it is one that I now know to steer clear of wirh my kid.
ItsAUnicorn 27
Indeed, I live in the Netherlands and I didn't even know there are padded bras and bikini tops for girls. What I was talking about wasn't that the OP should give in on giving her daughter a push up, that's ridiculus, but instead you could give her one that isn't padded, and special made for children, they're shaped like sports bras. Why is everyone thinking I was talking about lingerie or something? I was talking about non-sexualised underwear special made for kids
Lilxpie 18
#148 - Before you said that you think all the girls in her class have a bra.
ItsAUnicorn 27
I still refer to these children things as bras, I don't know the English word for them
jujuthefroggy_fml 16
whatever the name for it, i hope nowadays 6 years old don't wear bras (even those ones that you wear when your chest is growing....) or only for swimwuit maybe...
tayza249 20
To wear a bra, one must first have boobs to fill it.. unless she's severely overweight, I see no reason for a 6 year old to wear a bra
ItsAUnicorn 27
If the other kids in class somehow persuaded their children, the little girl is maybe scared she falls outside the group, since children always want to be grown-up and stuff But I don't know how the children in their town behave. Nowadays, even ******* twelve year olds have sex and stuff so I'm not suprised by anything
nnnope 26
are you implying that the 6-year-olds have children? I'm severely confused by every single one of your recent FML comments.
ItsAUnicorn 27
Goddamnit I did it again xD I meant to say persuaded their parents... Wow seems like I still have to wake up..
BrotherPhil 35
12 year olds have always had sex. The problem is that, as society has become more complex, and it has taken longer to mature, 12 year olds are no longer young adults in most places.
micha090 21
Your description is my only logical reasoning for your comments.
Rainhawk94 27
unicorn...no. .no...stahp it
Zwingend 15
She probably just wants to feel more grown up. Maybe find another way to validate her? After you make it clear that push-up bras and temper tantrums are not acceptable, of course.
junkman6 22
I dunno i was thinking more along the lines of seeing a commercial. She's a little girl who likes pretty things, she probably saw a Victoria secret commercial thought a bra gave her wings like the women in the commercial and boom crazy desire for whatever bra they were advertising. I know a lot of cartoon stations turn into more mature programming at night that is targeted at the mom audience. So it isn't really a stretch to imagine how she saw a Victoria secret commercial.
rocker_chick105 31
The daughter is lucky OP isn't my mom. If I threw a tantrum, my mom would just walk away from me. Then again it did teach me to shut up, but I sure as hell never asked for a push up bra at age six.
extrasnipes 22
tell her to do 15 proper push ups.
perdix 29
#9, I'm not sure why you got thumbed down -- I had a similar thought. Maybe it's because your count was too lenient -- the masses wanted to see the little brat sentenced to 50 or more!
extrasnipes 22
your reply got more likes
carecow 16
If she craves to feel grown up you could buy her a lipstick so she feels pretty?
peacejunior 12
Or increase her share of home responsibilities.
Bano360 25
Tell her to get a job. When I was 5, I had my own place.
DKjazz 20
Amateurs. When I was three I had a wife and four kids, plus two more kids from a previous marriage.

My cousin insist on wearing one in a big family party. They fall while she was running. Stopped to pick them proudly and continue running. True story.
