Today, my three-year-old decided to dump the entire contents of her cereal box onto the kitchen floor because she was looking for a "prize." The only prize we found was a huge dead cockroach, which she promptly stuck in her mouth. FML
I agree, your life sucks (19980) - you totally deserved it (1622)

Fuck HER life! lol :)
Gross, though. Did she spit it out or did you have to fish it out of her mouth?
Fake, there is no way in hell a kid would do something that stupid, no.
And no kid would just poor cereal, and no cock roach could climb in a box that was closed!

Its likely a kid would do something that stupid if there only 3.

How the fuck would he have been able to teach her not to eat a dead cockroach if she hadn't already tried?

Meh, it's protein.
I'll bet you could hear it crunching as she munched on it. omnomnomnom

Agree! Protein is protein. I'm sure most of us have eaten at least one arthropod and we all are still alive.
what kind of parent lets their child play on a cockroach infested floor, you should be ashamed. I wouldn't even
let you look after my sisters kids and they are a right pair of little bastards

YDI for being dirty and having cockroaches in a home with a child
#12 - On 10/27/2009 at 6:55am by JP101
Just because they have cockroaches doesn't mean they have a dirty house. Some areas just get a lot of cockroaches.
Anyway, society's getting pretty soft if people think it's wrong to raise children with some cockroaches scuttling around... at least they're not in a war zone or something.

The child is 3 years old you re-fuck. I bet the kids smarter than you.

OHHHH GROSS
I have a fear of cockroaches hiding in food boxes since I found one in a Savoys box.......

You need to take that back to the store. Clearly, you should be getting a LIVE, huge cockroach! What fun for a child is a dead one? She should have to run it down, capture it, kill it while enjoying it's little roachy screams and then eat it.
No wonder kids are so soft, fat and lazy these days, we taking all the joy out of childhood by giving them cereal will pre-killed roaches.
Thanks for making Texas proud.
Arghh I could of just of eaten some golden grahams,, youu put me off now -.- :P

I can just imagine you, with a newfound paranoia, sifting through every cereal box from now on, with a bug swatter in one hand, goosebumps all over, ready to jump back at any moment. *shudder*
FYL and your child's life too. :(
I'm not the OP but it happened to me and I'm literally like that now! Well, I check inside boxes, that's about it.

It's not as bad as you'd think.
When I was a kid, we came back from a one week road trip and I wanted a nice bowl of Alpen (I don't think they make it anymore). After I poured it, I noticed some of the flakes running around. Since then, I just watch my cereal for a couple of seconds before I pour milk on them.
Do you mean that you'd rather have let her eat the entire damn box of roach-infested cereal before you realized it? What a nice mother you are. I do hope you scolded the lil' rug rat for both things though. Oi vey... kids...
#23 - On 10/27/2009 at 9:47am by blastvortex
you think, maybe, just MAYBE, it has nothing to do with her house? the box of cereal could have very well contained the cockroach when she purchased it, meaning it could have been the grocery store with the bug infestation, or even the factory the cereal was made...
Oh yeah, that is highly likely. Sounds like you have a dirty house as well!
#48 - On 10/28/2009 at 11:03am by warrenpeace
no, my house is very clean.
and listen to the news once in awhile.. they do reports on bugs and other nastiness found at places the food COMES from..
I have a 3 year old sister, and she's not that stupid - hasn't been since she was 1! either you're lying, or you have a really stupid kid.

I think a lot of people who submit stuff on here in the 'kids' category have really stupid kids. Just sayin'...
Ahahahaha. This is one of the funniest FMLs yet -- such a perfect image.

If you dont have kids, you really shouldnt be judging. I'm guessing this was a boy.... Boys and girls are very different. When I was three I would have screamed until the bug was gone. I have a 3 year old son who still puts everything in his mouth and picks up everything * including a snake, he must of thought I enjoyed it despite my screams of horror and terror* Kids do things very fast, doesnt mean the mom wasnt watching her kid. roaches really arent a sign of a messy house. they're everywhere. including most of the restuarants you eat at. they hide in the walls and where its dark. OP, be happy that happened because you guys would have been eating that cereal not knowing what a gross thing was in there.
EW!!!! You need to take your child to the doctor or mental examination! Maybe you should get one too for being more upset about her finding it now instead of later! DON'T YOU KNOW THEY CARRY DISEASES! Stupid Bitch!

Horrible parental influence. Allowing them to just dump food that someone else who may be starving could use is just wasteful and cruel. Then eating a Cockroach, you realize how much disease is carried by them? Very bad parenting.
I blame you for not teaching your daughter better.
#38 - On 10/27/2009 at 4:18pm by The_Mantis_19
They thought it was a prize. A prize is normally made of plastic. Not teaching your kid not to eat plastic is bad parenting.
Ewww! Was the cockroach actually in the cereal or just already on the ground?
#43 - On 10/27/2009 at 8:35pm by dramakat11
Most of the prizes in cereal boxes are toys anyway so why the hell would the child put it in their mouth even at age three?? Somebody is clearly not educating their child properly...

Don't tell me, let me guess: Oooh, I know, you're a professional housekeeper.
