Today, it was my little girl's birthday and her grandparents came over to celebrate. One of the presents from her grandparents turned out to be a sweater. She then asked, "Mommy, may I please lie?" When I shook my head no, she exclaimed, "I hate this ugly sweater!" FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my daughter wore my favorite Christmas sweater to an ugly sweater party. FML
Today, my mother-in-law insisted we go to a baby clothing store. When I reminded her that I don’t want children, she sat on the floor, crying, kicking and screaming. She then said I was denying her grandchildren because I hate her. Well, I didn’t… FML
Today, my friends and I were going to do an ugly sweater photo shoot. When we met up, one of them was wearing a sweater I gave on her birthday. FML
Today, I received a package at work. Thinking it was something I ordered, I opened it in front of my coworkers. It was a gift from my grandmother: a giant pink, “I Love My Grandson” T-shirt. The worst part? They insisted I put it on and take a picture to send to her. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, it's my birthday. When I asked my mom if we were gonna do anything special for my birthday. She said, "Don't lie to me. It's not your birthday." FML
Today, my mother-in-law thought it would be appropriate to give my five-year-old daughter some bedclothes with the Playboy logo all over them. FML
Today, my wife entered in an ugliest sweater competition at her work. She wore a plain white sweater with a picture of my face printed on it. She came home with first prize. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Once she asked your permission to lie, you were up a creek no matter your response. I guess it's time to teach her the value of the Little White Lie.

That was a lose-lose situation anyway.

Tactfulness or Honesty?

The OP has such a polite daughter if she asks for permission before she lies :x

She could of just said thank-you, not give an opinion and get out of the situation by not lying, but little kids are tuned only to think in reward vs punishment which is probably why she lied.

kids say the darnedest...

I taught my kids to never say anything bad about a gift in front of the person who gives it, and if they ever ask about it later on, to say something that would appease them. Like in this case, my kids would have said :thanks for the sweater" and later on when asked about it, "oh it got torn playing football in it",which is usually true with my boys since any clothes they not like, they wear when they play football outside

If I had said something like that when I was young, my mom would've taken out The Wooden Spoon. =_=

you're pretty! I'm jealous!

I want to live in a world where everyone tells the truth. If I got you a bad gift I want to know that, because I'll know what to get you next year! If you hate me, why don't you just say it to my face. It's better than pretending to like me and then gossiping behind my back.

If it was a Rick Astley sweater, that child needs a beating.

She just wanted to tell you what she was feeling. She had to make you understand.

Now that's funny! Hopefully she'll learn you don't have to lie but she should keep some things to herself.

why F YOUR life? more like F the grandparents' lives...YDI for raising an ungrateful child
Bobissmall 13
An ungrateful child? She wanted to lie and say it was nice, but she didn't want to lie and get in trouble.
122409 0
yeah, so either way, she was being ungrateful.
Bobissmall 13
So because someone has an opinion on something, if it's negative they're ungrateful?
Chryssi 0
I think the kid was very polite to ask if she could lie, there is nothing ungrateful about knowing she would sound ungrateful and not wanting
Texast 0
not ungratefull. it's kinda funny something to look back on and laugh. the kid has been tought right from wrong.
at0micmin3r 23
@19 Yeah, pretty much. Learn to be grateful, even if you don't like it.

I guess you have not got to the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" manners lesson yet.

Little kids speak their minds, this is why they get taught to keep some things to themselves. I suppose it depends how little she was, but chances are that most people at her age have said something their parents were not proud of. Hopefully her grandparents understood.

Well she hates the ugly sweater. Not a big deal. Oh wait she said it loudly and rudely I see the problem now. Still funny though.
FFML_314 12
Make her wear it as punishment for being a rude little butthead.
Bobissmall 13
My "bob" is really really small.
FFML_314 12
Considering that "butthead" is in no way insulting, more so a playful way to pick on someone, yes I feel good about that. Do you feel good for overreacting? Also, you can't say how old the little girl is. My mom called me her little girl until I was around 11.
Bobissmall 13
To a 4/5 year old that's pretty insulting, said with the right tone it may even reduce a sensitive child to tears, you feel good for this? I cannot argue with such evil.
FFML_314 12
Dammit!
FFML_314 12
Wow, you are truly clever. I mean I'm flabbergasted at your creativity.

Looks to me like one of the mods changed Bobissmall's comment to something slightly less offensive. zmeiler, you can put whatever you want on FFML and I'm sure it would look cute.
Bobissmall 13
Yeah wtf? My comment wasn't offensive at all? I love how free speech is non-existent on the internet.
Bobissmall 13
Not to mention, im surprised it isn't illegal to change someones comment without making it clear that it was edited like that. It's almost like pretending to be someone, like fraud or something. Meh, the law is ridiculous so often.
FFML_314 12
LOL!
Bobissmall 13
Well i'm glad YOU find it funny. Jeez the mod isnt even funny, what else would my username mean?
Bobissmall 13
Actually i'm from the UK just like you, and it wasn't bad, it was basically along the lines of "You just insulted a 4/5 year old, i hope you feel good about your self"
Bobissmall 13
Can you possibly point me to the rules also? I cannot find them.
FFML_314 12
Take a joke, 45.
Bobissmall 13
Also cannot find the joke?
FFML_314 12
That's because you're stupid.
Bobissmall 13
No, there's just a lot of comments, and i do not know of which you refer to. It's also interesting how ive been the only one to not insult anyone, but also the only one to have my comments edited.
Sirin_fml 47
Not at all. But please read the commenting rules and try to avoid getting involved in arguments ;-)
Bobissmall 13
Cheers, but seriously, i cannot find the rules!
FFML_314 12
Are you done yet? I think you'll be OK.
Sirin_fml 47
Bobissmall, I sent them to you via a PM, but you can also access them via the link underneath the comment box. They are linked to via the "our rules" text.
Bobissmall 13
Ah. I like the last paragraph of the rules lol. Well I've managed to show my self up there... Thanks again anyway.

You edit your eyes badly, FFML.
