Today, I had to console my bawling 6-year-old son and explain that his sister was lying when she told him that when boys in our family turn 13, they turn into girls. I'm not sure who disappoints me more right now. FML

Today, my 14-year-old daughter convinced my son that when he was born, he was actually born as a girl, but we wanted a boy so bad we had his gender changed. Now he wants to change back to a girl because now he doesn't feel right as a boy. Last year, she got her other brother to cross dress. FML

Today, I realized that the only boy who ever called me pretty was my 5-year-old brother. My sister then scolded him for lying. FML

They're indoctrinating our children… with pranks!

Today, my eight year-old son came to me and said he thinks it's time he started wearing bras. It turns out his older brother has been mindfucking him for the past several months and has him convinced it's something all boys his age do. I can't convince him otherwise. FML

Today, I had to give my four year-old daughter some tough love, which I hate doing. When she ran away crying, my son, her twin brother, looked at me and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself." FML

Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML

Today, I told my daughter that she's going to be a big sister, because there is a baby growing in my tummy. She's been sobbing because I can't convince her that I didn't eat a baby. FML

Today, my fifteen year-old son decided to tell his little five year-old sister that Santa isn't real. She now refuses to talk to any of us and thinks "her whole life is a lie". FML

Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML

Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML

Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML

So does that mean I'm not going to turn into a man on my 30th birthday? So why do I have this mustache, then?

Maybe you shouldn't be concerned at all because he is just happy with his gender and doesn't want to change. Also, having a penis is so much fun! Who'd want to lose that?

That's /so/ much better than my familial condition: once we hit middle age, we turn into porcelain dolls. I have the previous five generations of my family on a shelf in my room. Their vacant eyes watch me as I sleep. It's pretty dumb and creepy, but I try to take some amount of pride in my heritage. Like family reunions are a breeze, and I'm pretty sure we're somewhat immortal.

At least you aren't Russian dolls. Then ultimately your fate would be to have five generations inside you.

Actually, #15, I'm dating someone who will turn into Russian nesting dolls, and I'm offended by the insinuation that they are in any way inferior. #17, I'm here to help, gal. :)

#20 Unfortunately you can't take her lineage. Then you'd always be inside her! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Why would you be disappointed in a 6 year old? You raise them to trust family, so when his big sister tells him something, he thinks is true. Plus it was just a harmless joke that wasn't taken well.

Maybe you should be disappointed with yourself for raising a boy to see it as some kind of horrible punishment to become a girl.

I don't think he thinks of it as a punishment. He's only six and it would seem terrifying to suddenly become a whole different gender. You can't interpret that from a six year-old.

So boys are all supposed to aspire to achieving womanhood someday? Nutty feminism somewhat? Why must he be trained to prepare for gender reassignment? Maybe he likes being a boy...

Yeah, how dare he like the body he was given. Seriously, what an asshole.

My cousin was convinced of the opposite (girls grow up into boys) when she was younger

My 7yo fully believed that boys eventually lost their penises and that's how girls were made. Then his sister was born. He's coming to terms with the fact that his brother won't magically turn into a sister.

Haha I wish that was the case. He wanted a sister instead of a brother. So he convinced himself that his brother's penis would eventually fall off and he would become a girl.

Wait, why would you be disappointed in your son?

Not sure who you're more disappointed in? Your son is only six, for pete's sake. Of course he's going to believe it; small children are pretty gullible. That's no reason to be disappointed in him...

In psych class we learned that children of either gender can think that they will turn into the the other gender if they wear the clothes of the other gender. This is not far from that. I have also seen it when I worked with young kids. Do not be disappointed in your son.
