Today, I walked into the kitchen to find my daughter trying to cut her wrist with a plastic spoon. When I asked her why, she said her friend Lucy did that so her parents would buy her pretty things. My daughter and Lucy are both four years old. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML
Today, I'm so strapped for cash, I had to send my daughter to play with my neighbor's daughter, both are 5, because she gets fed there. She suddenly came home saying they're not friends anymore, bragging how she hit her and she bled while crying. Why? She bought 2 new toys and gave her one, so they have the same. FML
Today, I found my 6 year-old daughter upstairs, lying on the floor with scissors. She was giving, "the carpet a haircut." FML
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter thought it'd be funny to cut my hair while I was sleeping. FML
Today, while I was cutting myself some watermelon, my mom walked in. I could tell she hadn't taken her medication in a while because she freaked out, grabbed the knife, and burst into tears before yelling at me, saying I could have cut myself and bled out. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school saying that she had beat someone up. She's 4. FML
Today, my six year old daughter cut out the stomach area of four of my favorite shirts. When I asked her why she had done so she replied, "So that they fit your tummy better, Mommy." FML
Today, I walked in on my daughter eating a handful of styrofoam packing pellets, because she thought they were Christmas candy. She's fourteen. What's next, eating rocks? FML
Today, I walked in on my 14-year-old daughter holding a lit lighter to the underside of a spoon, which was full of baking powder. She was trying to breathe in the fumes to get high, and later confessed that she thought it's how heroin is made and used. FML

Society is ****** up. Kids should never have to think like that. Don't let your daughter play with that girl anymore and make sure her parents are told to get their shit together.

lucy sounds like a spoiled brat . I wouldn't let her near your kid if she can influence your daughter like that already, imagine what will happen if they remain friends.

Wtf? It sounds like this FML is a fake because there's no way a 4 yr old can self harm.

Wow both girls are pathetic. Don't care if they are four they still know pain and would rather go through that just to get shit.

First, trying to cut oneself with a plastic spoon is not painful. Second of all, they have no idea that what they are doing is bad and can be construed in a negative manner. They are 4'

First I'm not saying that the spoon will be painful, but that at the age of four they should have has enough cuts and scraps from various accidents to know cutting would hurt. Second I don't care how old they are. Even when I was four I never thought to hurt myself just to get something.

Wow, that is so sad. :( I can't even think of anything else, just how sad it is that our society has come to that.

Sounds like a very serious chat with your daughter and Lucy's parents is in order.

Oh boy. Hopefully you and the other parents can stop this before they find ways to seriously hurt themselves.

Hide the knives and sharp objects she's too young to start cutting.:,

Umm, there's actually an age where it's OK to start cutting?
