Today, I asked my 5-year-old nephew to clean up his mess of toys. He responded by kicking my foot. My bandaged foot which was still recovering from my surgery last week. I'm probably going to need another operation to fix the damage. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wheelchair was delivered. My brother and I were messing around with it when he rolled over my already injured foot. At least surgery is next week. FML
Today, my nephew stabbed me in the knee with a colouring pencil. The hospital says he ripped a hole in a tendon and I need surgery to fix it or one day it'll snap. I’ll have a limp for the rest of my life. FML
Today, I went to see a podiatrist, two weeks after having major surgery on my abdomen, only to be told I might need surgery on my foot. FML
Today, mere hours after getting my knee out of plaster and walking normally again, I stepped on a giant nail, which went through my shoe and came out of the top of my foot. Surgery on the splintered bone, bandages, and no putting weight on it for at least 2 weeks. Here I go again. FML
Today, I’m being kept awake in the middle of the night trying to distract myself with trashy TV as my entire foot radiates with pain. The surgery was a week ago. FML
Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML
Today, I was visiting my 8-year-old nephew. He told me he learned about fire safety, so I asked him what he'd do if there were a fire right now. He pushed me out of the way and I fell, then he ran over me and out the front door, leaving me on the floor in pain. FML
Today, while helping a child through a tantrum, I was kicked and my hand broke. The bone is completely in half and fixing it will require plates, screws, and surgery along with months of recovery. Another day on the job. FML
Today, my dad ran over my foot with his work truck. FML
Today, as revenge for being grounded for bullying a kid at school, my eight-year-old son flung a handful of Lego into my path as I walked barefoot into the kitchen. I'm still in pain. FML

I'd kick him back.

Oh man, that's bad. Tell his mother! Hopefully he'll clean up his toys in the future when he learns what he did.

I don't think the bigger issue here was wether or not the toys were cleaned.
umidontrember 14
I mean he'll learn his lesson if he knows that when he refused to pick up his toys he severely injured someone. Sorry for not being clear!

Did you kick him back with your uninjured foot?
TheCrispyCat 20
I imagine OP bouncing up and down holding the hurt foot.

Are you on the person whose broken foot got stepped on in the bus?

Hope he knows a good lawyer... It's just a shame they stopped accepting play-doh as payment.

Exactly. This is that moment in time where the parent should just take their kid outside, set up some yardage, pick the kid up, and punt the hell out of them.

Or how about taking away the toys as punishment instead of physically punishing the kid

You really dont know how to spot a sarcastic joke when it kicks you in the head, right?

With this you never know because way too many kids are physically abused because people think that's totally okay to do
annie_nk 23
Lemme guess. You consider spanking is abuse?
spluver0005 17
No I don't consider it abuse. I don't agree with it because I think it teaches fear and not respect, but that's a separate issue. I'm talking about where people actually cause physical damage to their kids. And don't say it doesn't happen, someone very close to me, I'm not saying who, suffered from physical and verbal abuse as a child and it has greatly affected him in a bad way

so we thumb this guy down for suggesting another form of punishment, wat is going on???

I would say that's bad parenting, but its not.

bellebe1998 16
No, its not abuse to spank your child, but what are you teaching them? That its OK to get violent with another person?
spluver0005 17
Oh god forbid I have a different opinion. I have a whole bunch of reasons I don't agree with spanking kids, but that's not the issue I was bringing up. When you hit a kid hard enough that you leave some kind of physical mark, that's going too far. I don't agree with spanking, but when you're actually causing physical harm to a kid, then that's a whole different story.

In the face
bellebe1998 16
No I agree. Because I used to get hit all the time but what I'm saying is there's no good in doing it cause I would just hit back.

Beat him with the cast

Let his parents pay for the surgery and urge them to teach their offspring some manners.

Offspring, no. Spawn, yes!

I don't know for sure, but their homeowners insurance would probably cover this additional surgery. That is if they have insurance. Good luck and never let the little shit forget what he did to you.

You should "Qaddafi" him with your crutches
Alyxi 20
My step daughter did that sort of thing to my knee. I'm sorry, hope they can fix yours, the damage to mine is now inoperable. Hope the parents can at least teach the kid to react with no violence, we're still working on it and have No idea where she learned it.

And this is why spanking should never be outlawed. ..
kakakarotcake 17
They will never outlaw it in the US. States keep putting bills to ban it but they keep getting little to no support

Child abuse causes real emotional damage later in life. I am NOT at all saying it was alright what he did, but I do not believe raising a hand, belt, or fist to a child is ever the answer. When children grow up with violence, especially when it's inflicted upon them, they can develop serial mental issues as adults. Violence only causes more violence, not to mention low self esteem, self inflicted wounds, and lack of self worth overall.

*Serious, sorry.

83, I got the **** paddled out of me, and I don't have any violent tendencies (other than in a cage or ring). It's not because they want to hit you; it's for you to learn humility.

82 spanking is a way of discipline and is no way related to child abuse
swick25 22
I used to get spanked and hit with a Police belt, I deserved every beating I got. I do not have a violent bone in my body. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with spanking your child.

Oh hell naw, I would whoop that little boys ass, and the fact that he did this shows that the parents have taught him no manners and that type of behavior is acceptable. You wouldn't get anywhere with those type of parents because they will always defend their child and claim that he or she is an angel. **** dat, you bend them over lay the pipe to them and make them and their disrespectful child pay for your surgery.

"Kiss my leg bitch ! " ...no I'm just kidding ... Simply back hand slap that kid before he does it again
