Today, my daughter threw a can of hairspray into the fireplace because she saw someone do it on YouTube. FML
I agree, your life sucks (24340) - you totally deserved it (2419)

Teach responsibility BEFORE letting her go unsupervised on the internet. YDI. YDI even more if you were the one who showed it to her.

In other words: "I fail as a parent, Internet is raising my kids."
I agree, fuck your life. And fuck your kids' lives, too.
Agreed. 4 year olds shouldn't have access to internet. This story is proof enough.

Yeah, because she couldn't have seen it at a friends house, right? It had to be at their house on their computer, right? God, be a little more open minded smart ass.

They are not blaming the internet, they are blaming the retarded parents that shouldnt breed.
Now, if you all excuse me I'll go upload a youtube vid where I "cut" my wrist using some effects and then tell kids how cool it is.
Let natural selection do its magic
Same goes to you, smartass. I wasn't referring to watching the video. What I meant is, if OP taught the kid right, the kid wouldn't have thrown the can. You know, teaching your kids what's dangerous and what's not is kind of being a parent, don't you think? I suppose you're one of those geniuses that blame TV and violent video games for all the crimes and stuff.
EDIT: See how #42 got it right.
Well now, this is what i think:
1) You can now say that you survived an explosion.
2) You're kid now knows that throwing hairspray into fire is not the best idea.
3) You got to witness an explosion, for God's sake!
That's pretty damn awesome, if I do say so myself, my incredibly negative friends.

You guys suck, we don't know how old the kid was, so they could've been four or three, and a four year old can hardly be accounted for their actions. Plus, with the internet and massive access to information, it's pretty much impossible to regulate what your kids watch unless your with then 24/7, so yes, this is an FML.

#55: It's "Your". You wouldn't say "You are kid..."
and 64: If I had a 3 or 4 year old, they would NEVER be on the computer that has internet alone. Have a password on the computer so they need you to let them on, thus informing you that they are on the computer. (and 64, it's "you're with them 24/7")

Today I decided to do the experiment I saw on Youtube and threw the hairspray. It went boom!!!! My mother grounded me for a month cleaning up the mess and not seeing my friends FML
It's not genetics that make you light fires. It's how you are raised.
#77 - On 10/26/2009 at 10:15am by silvermoonstar3
notice the daughters age is never mentioned. she could be 20 and still living at home, she could be 11 and only a kid.
Your life is fucked because your kid is a fucking dumbass. I saw "2 girls 1 cup" but I will NOT re-enact that because I have a brain, much unlike your stupid kid. Yeah, let's copy shit we see on the internet!!!!
#9 - On 10/25/2009 at 11:48am by noshitsherlock
You've got to be kidding me. Seriously? She is four fucking years old!! How the hell is she supposed to know! I'm actually surprised you have the brains the find this website. She is not a "fucking dumbass" she is a child. Not unlike you. It is fail parenting because 4 year olds should be on the internet. #9, I seriously hope you are a troll otherwise I have lost all faith in humanity. (Actually I may already have lost faith when I heard a 16 year old in my spanish class ask us what 900 + 100 was. She wasn't joking.)
#12 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:00pm by Sun_Kissed18
I just went and created an account to inform you how much of an idiot you are. It doesn't say ANYWHERE that the kid is 4 years old. Get your facts right before you start accusing people of being "trolls" and "brainless".
#16 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:09pm by minicooper01
Thank you, minicooper01.
Clearly, Sun_Kissed18, YOU are a fucking idiot too. LEARN HOW TO READ before harassing people!
#18 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:10pm by noshitsherlock
You are a fucking retard, not only are you wrong on the age but she IS fucking retarded just like her dumbshit parents that shouldnt breed.
lolwatlol,personally,i think sunkissed 18 has got it right. Think about it,how many grown up women go to xtremes just to look like what they see on TV? How many grown up men take steroids just to look buffed like actors? If even us adults lack the common sense not to immitate what we see on TV,can you really expect a child not to? Clearly,it just shows your understanding of the real world,and how ignorant you are.
#73 - On 10/26/2009 at 6:19am by diablonegro
did she happen to see it on "equals 3" (raywilliamjohnson)
#13 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:05pm by CatherineARE
I'm not going to lie, after I saw that episode, I actually considered throwing hairspray into bonfires.
From a safe distance of course.
#15 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:08pm by redbluegreen
OMG EQUALS THREE! :D
Haha RWJ is great, its funny beacuse little kids do seem to watch him too, lmao...
yeah you kinda do....it would be smart to teach your kid right n wrong...
right be good...wrong dont burn the freakin house down!!! or play w/ fire!!!
how old is this kid ne way???
#38 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:10pm by inconvienentgurl
It's your responsibility as a parent to teach your daughter not to do stupid things she sees on the internet (or elsewhere). You have to teach her right from wrong; you can't expect her to figure it out on her own. It's also a good idea to hide flammable and poisonous substances from small children. I'm not even a mother and I know this kind of stuff. YDI.
#17 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:09pm by YourMooseyFate
That made me laugh so much. :')
I hope she's okay. Still lol-worthy, though. ;D
#19 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:19pm by n3rdzgotskillz
YouTube is the new fad, guys. Back in the old days they used to say "Everyone else is doing it!"
Now it's "I saw it on YouTube!"
#21 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:22pm by Avenging_Angel
How old is she? Actually it doesn't matter. I hope you beat the fuck out of your mistake that you carried around for nine months and now the world must suffer.
#22 - On 10/25/2009 at 12:44pm by mercedeslove
Today, my daughter learned an important life lesson: If you do things you saw done on the internet without fact-checking, bad shit happens.
Like you place to live with all your stuff inside burning to the ground.
#30 - On 10/25/2009 at 1:18pm by Brooklynxman
Don't blame YouTube
You shouldn't let YouTube raise your kids :/
#31 - On 10/25/2009 at 1:45pm by ThatFailed
LOL.
She watches RayWilliamJohnson, doesn't she?
I saw that same video.
#34 - On 10/25/2009 at 2:05pm by Ohnothingreally
did the youtube video not display why it was a bad idea? I bet it did, your kid wont make it a whole lot longer.
ok you cant blame the parent cuz the their kid decide to make a stupid decision. the only person can blame is themselves. most parents teach their kids what's right and what's wrong, not every kid are gonna listen only some of them.
#47 - On 10/25/2009 at 5:21pm by blackberry1993
My condolences, your daughter is terminally retarded. :)
#48 - On 10/25/2009 at 5:54pm by up4thebadguys
Gonna go out on a limb here and assume that you didn't film her doing it and upload it to youtube? =/
#51 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:11pm by Nakedsquirrel
everything i see on youtube i wont do it. i know good and well that throwing a can of hairspray will explode in a fireplace. if your child can read the print on the can it should say highly flammable and since she saw it on youtube most likely she can type therefore read. to sum this up:dont let your child back on the internet for a good 6 months,she'll learn.
#56 - On 10/25/2009 at 11:04pm by tinkchic4life
NOWHERE does it say the child's age, genius. You just agree with her because you think she's attractive, you dirty pervert. Sun_kissed looks REALLY young.
#68 - On 10/26/2009 at 2:25am by noshitsherlock
DUDE. WHY ARE YOU RESTRICTIN YOURE DAUGHTERS CREATIVE MIND? LET HER BE FREEEE LIKE THEE WIND YOU FOOL. KIDS IN AMERICAN LIFE NEED TO LEARN TO THINK AS INDIVIDUALS NOT AS ROBOT ZOMBIES LIKE YOU'RE TRYIN TO TRAIN THEM INTO BEIN. DON'T BE LIKE THAT. ONE TIME I THREW GAS IN A FIRE AND IT WAS GREAT! I BURNED DOWN LIKE HALF A FOREST. THAT SHIT WAS SICCCKKKK.
#62 - On 10/26/2009 at 12:42am by NILTIAKNITRAM
OH YES, i finally have a reason to say why Youtube is so awesome! because it causes FML's :D
#65 - On 10/26/2009 at 1:28am by EveryDayJackAss
Actually, your fault for not monitoring her internet access!! If she's young enough to do something that stupid, she's too young to be online unsupervised!
Absolutely get rid of her internet now. She can't be trusted to not do stupid things that she sees done online, well then she shouldn't be seeing them online!
I also agree that she should've been supervised while online. You really need to open your eyes and see that children should be protected while online, not left to do their own thing.
Stealz her interwebz, put it in a bag, and throwz it into the fireplace. Then maybe she'll see what fire can do.
#74 - On 10/26/2009 at 6:24am by giganticbrain
How can anyone click anything other then YDI, his daughter copied something she saw on the internet, meaning clearly the parents weren't paying attention to what she was looking at online or what she was doing. It could have been ALOT worse, then everyone would be blaming youtube. YDI for being one of today's classic SHITTY parents!
#78 - On 10/26/2009 at 12:29pm by primogen18
You expect parents to be able to monitor every little thing that you see online? Not every parent can stay at home all day and i doubt any parent would want to monitor their kid online 24/7, not to mention being super invasive to watch over their shoulder every minute. It's as easy as alt-tabbing when they do come in, whether that be something bad (porn) or anything else.
hahahahaha thats amazing....why do so many people have so many negative things to say about all these posts? they are funny and many of you take this way to seriously...half of them are fake anyway so dont get too in to it...I mean good lord get a hobby...or get laid...trust me it helps :)
#81 - On 10/26/2009 at 4:13pm by cml13
*Giggles* That sounds like something I would have done when I was like 11.
#82 - On 10/26/2009 at 10:49pm by triplethreat13
Hey hey hey now. Let's not be evil. Just because her kid is dumb and is now covered in 3rd degree burns does NOT mean she's at fault here. Her kid is just suicidal.
WOw. I don't think ive done something that stuupid in a while and im a teenager.
