Today, my son threw the biggest fit in history about going to the dentist. He broke a whole stack of plates, overflowed the bathtub, let the dog loose, and kicked his father when he tried to calm him down. My son is 17. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML
Today, my son threw a temper tantrum and told me I “should have aborted him” and threatened to run away from home. Why? Because I nicely asked him to share his french fries with his sister. My son is 17. FML
Today, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter threw a massive fit over showering. She dislodged the shower curtain rod and threatened to beat us with it if we ever force her to shower again. FML
Today, my son thought it was a good idea to spray deodorant into his mouth because he wanted fresh breath. This resulted in him passing out. My son is 17. FML
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. FML
Today, I caught my son trying to punch his own teeth out so he'd get more money from the tooth fairy. FML
Today, I had to go into school for the third time this week because my son is claiming he's on bath salts and biting all his classmates. My son is 16. FML
Today, my 16-year-old son broke two of his fingers playing with Play-Doh. FML

Sounds like someone still needs his ass whooped! I understand he's 17, but if you want to act like a child than you should be treated like a child!

Make sure he doesn't get a lollipop when the dentist visit is over! That'll show him. Schedule him for a prostate exam and a colonoscopy. Preferably also performed by the dentist. You need to get you money's worth out of his tantrum.

The colonoscopy and prostate exam before the dentist exam with the same gloves the whole time. That'll teach him.

This is what I love about FML -- the collaborative brainstorming. You took my good idea and made it epic!

I think this is the best reply I've ever read! Thanks for the best laugh I've had yet today :)

That's really disturbing. Health care is a right, not a punishment. Do you actually think that he's going to get over his hatred of the dentist by doing that? No. If anything he's never going to attend a doctors appointment ever again.

That boy needs discipline. That's pretty embarrassing for a 17 year old to be acting that way.

Time to introduce him to Mr. Belt.

I still wear the belt my late father used to discipline me with :)

Oh man, there was nothing more terrifying than the sound of my father's belt flying through the belts loops. Po-po-po-po-po-po-po-POW!!! You know judgement has come!

Anger management?

No, no need. Just a good old slap.

Well the dentist isn't something that everyone exactly likes to go to, but at that age, he should know better.

Lmao I remember that!

You should've started young so it became a habit not torture. If he would've went more often, he wouldn't be so freaked out to go! However, he is 17. Make him pay for all damages. Handle your anger in a mature way OPs son.

*started young with a GOOD dentist I started young with a bad dentist; problems ever since, though not as bad as OP's kid.

You could kick him out once he turns 18 and change the door locks. He sounds like a violent asshole and I would be fearful of having someone like that living with me.
