Today, I invited my boss and his family over for dinner. As usual, I bought his kids Christmas' presents, nothing too fancy though. This year, he had one more that wasn't here last year. So I just pulled something from under the tree to hand him. He opened it on the spot. It was my son's PS3. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML
Today, my husband called me from the store, trying to decide whether or not to buy the new games console he's been wanting. I'd already purchased one and hid it, ready for Christmas Day. I couldn't talk him into not buying himself one. There goes a $500 surprise. FML
Today, my son told me the Christmas letter he wrote to Santa was a joke and he didn't want the stuff he asked for. I already bought everything. FML
Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML
Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Surely you would feel the present being heavy and see how large it is...

YDI it for creeping up to the boss. Stuff like that can really have a bad effect on a child. Or are you more concerned with sucking up to the boss than your own son. Shame on You.

Why did you give them a random present? The kid was less than 12 months old for Gods sake.

Probably not under a year..... most one year olds aren't adept at opening presents. Having not been there last year doesn't mean he was born afterwards. The kid could have simply had a baby sitter the previous year, or stayed with family for the evening if the boss thought he was too young to come to the dinner.

You suck at writing. I couldn't understand what the hell you were talking about. I read the OP like 6 tines before I understood what you were saying.

Wow. How do you not know what you had under the tree? What about, "Sorry kid. Didn't know you'd be here. Here's 10 bucks. Merry Christmas." Might as well have bought off the kid, thats what you're doing to the Boss anyway. I feel sorry for your kid.

At first I was thinking that the extra kid was a college student or something. At least, that's what I imagined when I first read it. I think it would have been known in the office if the boss's wife had a baby recently. Not to mention the fact that there is no reason to grab a big gift for a baby. It's possible that the boss had been married before and either had a step-child there this year, or one of his children had spent the previous Christmas with the other family.
