Today, at my four-year-old daughter's insistence, I looked for - and found - a radio station that plays "Santa music" all year round. She's ecstatic and I can't turn it off without upsetting her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor installed a large radio that loudly plays Christmas music 24/7. When I called in a complaint to the police department they told me to, "get in the Christmas spirit." FML
Today, my little brother found the singing Santa Claus from last year, and it still works. I'm now going to be hearing nothing but "We WISH you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!" for the next 20 days. FML
Today, I saw my 4 year-old daughter singing and dancing, so I decided to sing along. As soon as I started singing she said, without blinking her eyes and super calmly, "Could you please stop doing that?" FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML
Today, my mom found her CD of cats and dogs singing Christmas songs. That is what I'll be listening to until Christmas. FML
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Today, my annoying and disrespectful roommate discovered Pandora. She also discovered that she can play Christmas music on Pandora. Only 23 more days until Christmas. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, I took my daughter to see Santa at the mall. When I went to pick her up from Santa's lap, my watch snagged on his beard, pulling it off in front of my daughter and about twenty kids in line. My daughter still isn't speaking to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't let your kids become your boss, show your kid who's in charge. Or learn to love Santa music

That's when you throw the radio away and tell her you don't know what happened to it.

Haha. You're a good mom. My mother would never let me play my music when I was a child. I know it's probably annoying to you but I think it's sweet.

it won't be a permanent situation, your kid's so young... she's into that right now, but she'll probably get tired of it sooner or later :) in the meanwhile, move away from the radio if you can't stand it :)

Does she also tell you what time she is going to bed, what she's having for dinner, etc? Grow a pair and be a parent. Teaching children there are dissapointments in life and how to appropriately handle them is one of the most important lessons you can impart. Or just surrender your title of "Parent" now and be done with it.

That's when you say, suck it up buttercup. Feel free to use your own discretion on making it sound nicer. I would rather listen to 15 min of screaming than hear jingle bells for the rest of the year.

The difference between a child centered household and a parent centered household is important.

What station is it?!

Guys, it's January 4th. Let the kid listen to Christmas music for another week or two if she wants. She, like the rest of us, will get bored of it.

How about you be the parent! Letting your 4 year old dictate what radio station you listen to shows what a pushover you are and you're only setting yourself up for more issues down the road. Children need to learn they aren't the ones in charge you are, it's your own fault!
