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.

Kids these days... Hope your foot gets better soon, though.

Your nephew is a ******* brat.

Sounds like he needs a spanking. Not only for hurting OP's foot, but the disrespect. In my family, if you were to do something like that to an older family member you got in trouble big time.

This is kinda funny because I went through something similar with my nephew a few months ago. He however just got really excited to see me and jumped on my foot that had just had reconstructive surgery. My surgeon was able to use some creative wording on the request for the second surgery and it managed to cost me nothing. Might want to see if your surgeon can come up with something.

all that from a 5 year old?

Yes, a 5 year old boy caused: 1) Disrespect 2) The pain in the hurt place 3) The new surgery 4) The extent of time to recover she will need now

The kid needs some discipline and taught that you don't kick people because they ask you to do something.

Donate all those toys he didn't want to pick then let his parents know what he did

Is it better to have abusive kids then?
