Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, my four year old got mad that he couldn't find his favorite character on the Wii. So, he decided to smash the Wii remote into my $700 LCD TV, shattering the screen. That was the only TV in the house, and the $80 service plan I bought doesn't cover accidental damage. FML
Today, I bought a brand new TV that cost a pretty penny. I took it home and it had a defect. After a lot of arguing, I was able to exchange the TV for another one. I got it home and it worked amazing. Later on, we had a bad rainstorm, which flooded my room and screwed up not only my new TV, but my PS5, Xbox, and laptop. FML
Today, I had to purchase a new flat screen TV for the bar I work at. Last night I was dared to break an ashtray against the wall. I completely missed the wall and smashed the screen of the new TV they bought last month. FML
Today, I spent over $2,000 on a big flatscreen TV. My dad insisted I let him mount it on the wall instead of paying someone to do it. All seemed fine, until the TV came loose and smashed onto the floor. My dad refuses to accept responsibility, and says I should've had a professional install it instead. FML
Today, my son ruined our fairly new 60 inch smart TV by giving it a bath with his squirt gun. FML
Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML
Today, I finally got a cable box for my TV. When I was connecting the cable, my tv fell and shattered the screen. FML
Today, I threw a party. My drunk boyfriend decided to bring my 50-inch flatscreen TV downstairs from our bedroom. The TV didn't make it. FML
Today, someone took my flatscreen TV at my garage sale because some kid snuck a "free" label onto it. FML

Try throwing the tv at the kid to teach it a lesson?

That child would not have Christmas or a birthday for a decade, I don't even care if they are a toddler.

Kid needs a world class spanking & grounding. Did you have a warranty?

That's what warranties are for... have a child = always go for the deluxe warranty. The brick has awesome coverage (fyi)

maybe u should learn to properly discipline your kids and they wouldn't throw shit at your expensive things when they get angry. I'd say go and snap all the heads off his toys but its not like it will bring your t.v back unbroken. keep him grounded for a month or so and don't let him do anything fun. he wants to be a spoiled little shit n break your stuff then make him learn that all choices have consequences.

Right, because disciplining starts in the womb. It's a toddler, you know, the age where they begin to learn proper behavior.

toddlers don't understand discipline like that, unless they are a shy or fearful personality some babies are more likely to listen and. others are not; yes even when raised in similar parenting styles

I agree with 51. This is the age where they begin learning the difference between right and wrong. Ripping the heads off of their toys is a very childish thing to do.

Well, he'd be able to make the kid understand that what he did wasn't acceptable, and make him feel bad for it. That would be the right thing to do. Unfortunately, the child probably isn't going to be able to understand the impact his carelessness had. Only that it was wrong, and even then he probably won't learn until he's been disciplined for the same thing several times. Meh...FYL...

Correction: You paid to have an out-of-control child near a fragile flatscreen
