Today, I walked into the kitchen at 5 am, to have my 7 and 9 year olds throw a bucket of water on me. To their surprise and horror, I didn't melt. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, my parents woke me up by pouring a glass of freezing cold water over my head. Their reason? They were "bored". FML
Classic
Today, I got up early to prank my family. I put a bucket of ice water on top of a door frame so whoever walked through would get an icy surprise. After I was done, I went back to bed. I woke up groggy and disoriented like always and walked right through the doorway I had rigged. FML
Today, my mom decided to wake me up by pouring ice cold water on my face. Again. FML
Today, while working my job as a swim instructor, my coworker sprayed me with the hose. I instinctively held up what I was holding to block the cold water. I was holding a 4 year-old. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I tried to pull the old "bucket of water above the door" prank on my brother, but the bucket didn't fall when he opened the door. He noticed it, took it down, then pinned me to the floor and waterboarded me with the ice-cold water. FML
Today, while relaxing in the kitchen drinking coffee, my dad suddenly rushed in, knocking me over and causing me to spill boiling hot coffee all over myself. Then, my dad thought it would be a good idea to grab the sprayer from the sink and douse me with cold water in order to "put me out." FML
Babysitter blues
Today, I was shut in a boiling hot room with six children: a ten year-old who kept shouting; a belligerent seven year-old; two five year-olds who thought hitting me was funny, and two two year-olds who wouldn't stop crying. Their parents were just outside, laughing away, ignoring me. FML
Freaky...
Today, it's the third time in a row that I've woken myself up in the middle of the night by pouring freezing cold water on myself. I didn’t even have water on my nightstand last night. I woke up in the kitchen. FML
Great parenting, Patricia
Today, I left for work. Halfway to my car, my neighbour's son jumped out and emptied a bucket of water all over me. The little pissant screamed with laughter and ran back to his house. His mum's reaction was essentially, "Kids will be kids" and slamming the door on me. FML

you should have filled the bucket back up and thrown it on them...

Sure, cause some mental and emotional trauma to the children. That usually works out well.

Since when is it mentally and emotionally traumatic to have water thrown at you?

Filled the bucket with what? ;)

70- So you think it's acceptable for the mother to take the bucket, fill it with water, then fling that water onto her seven year old child, as a form of punishment? The mother, who the child still loves, who is probably almost two feet taller than the seven year old, standing over them and pouring a bucket of water on them in retaliation. How does that not seem abusive to you? The mother is the mother. It is her responsibility to be the adult, and not lower herself to childish behavior.

117 - No, I'm not saying its ok for every parent to take a bucket of water and throw it on their kids. However, I just don't think it's as traumatizing as you made it out to be.

Look at it this way: if your kids think you're a witch, then you're probably a decent parent.

Maybe they were about to mop the floor and you walked in at the wrong time...
gmc_blossom 21
Yes, because everyone mops floors by simply throwing the water on the floor.

They're kids.......
Angielovesmetoo 8
Yes, they're kids. But 7 and 9 year olds probably know better than that.

Not really an FML, not melting is a good thing.
