Why do they deserve it? Whaaaaat? (Speaking to those who hit YDI, of course.) Dang kids! ;)

Well, if the mom found it, then she must have been doing laundry. And I doubt the kid could have done her own laundry and taken the clothes out WITHOUT seeing it in there. So, the mom must do the kid's laundry. Which means it's mostly the mom's fault (although the kid should take the damn initiative to at least check their own pockets).

I disagree. I frequently have to move my brother's laundry and my parents' from the washer, to the dryer so I can make use of the washing machine.

False. If the daughter left it in her pockets before the wash, it is entirely her fault.
Parents cannot be expected to check the pockets of every clothing that goes in the wash.
She left it in her pockets, so she takes the blame.

Always Check Pockets I have learned the hard way a lot! Phones, lipstick, chapsticks...but damn kids these days are not thankful for crap!

Damn straight. I only check my own pockets before doing the laundry. It's not my fault if my BF decides to leave his new phone in his pants, or an important work paper, etc. If those items were truly important to him, he would remove them and place them in a safe location before throwing his clothes in the laundry hamper.

It is pretty cool when I find change in the washer though. Score! $1.10. That's my payment for doing his laundry.

I never understood why every fucking FML is formatted. Like this. Just combine the two because it's extremely annoying.

it's for suspense. although it is annoying when they. do. it. too. much, this one is fine.

How are kids ungrateful, I am almost positive that she left it in there on accident.

I do my own laundry all the time, and I do sometimes forget stuff in my pockets (though never something so valuable).

Most of the kids on here don't have children of their own, so they don't understand, I reckon.

Your daughter deserves it (if she put it in)

Her daughter said she deserves it?

Unless she payed for it and the daughter didn't....

This is more of a FHL

Not if OP pays for it!!

not really the mother had to pay for it.

happened to my once. but is was MY iPhone. sorry dude.

oooommmgggg that freaking SUCKS!!!x24754778

omgggg u r soooooo rite!!

Imagine if it was the iPad ... But then, you can't put an iPad into your pocket and therefore the washing machine.

she deserves it for not checking her pockets. and only fyl if you were the one who bought it for her which i'm assuming.

(Assuming you bought the iPod touch and) For having kids who don't have the foresight to empty their own pockets.. FYL

she obviously didn't want it that bad, unless her mom took her pants with it in it from her room to wash without asking her. my mom does it all the time even though I tell her not to. my flash drive got washed once because of it.

Try returning it; some places can be rly nice about that sorta thing
Of course, that's only if you still have the receipt and packaging it came in :|

We got a nano replaced on the home insurance. However if you washed with non-biological washing powder you should be okay if you leave it to fully dry.
