Today, I went out and made build-a-bears that looked like my daughter and her new boyfriend. It turns out she had been insisting that I didn't for a good reason; upon sight of his, her boyfriend screamed and fled the house. Turns out he was nearly mauled to death by a bear. FML

Today, my coworker convinced a little girl that teddy bears are actually the bodies of dead baby bears. I work at Build-a-Bear-Workshop, and we were working a 4-year-old's birthday party. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter couldn't sleep, crying that her teddy bear wanted to eat her. My husband thought it would be funny to put the bear right in front of her face while she slept. She's now terrified to sleep anywhere but in our bed. FML
Today, I was forced to go to the mall with my dad. He wore a bear suit the entire time. FML
Today, I got mugged by someone wearing a bear suit. FML
Today, I was pretending to be an angry bear while babysitting a 3 year-old boy, and an 19 month-old girl. I was chasing them around the house, having a great time. Just when I bent over to pick up his sister for a diaper change, the 3 year-old decided it was his turn. He bit me square on the ass. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting for him to get out of the shower. Bored, I sent my friend a picture of myself pretending to make out with his bear rug. After the photo shoot, I looked in the doorway to find his dad staring at me. FML
Today, I went camping with my girlfriend and another couple. We saw a black bear. I shrieked and peed, while the other guy stepped forward and yelled, "Get outta here!" To my surprise, it ran away. My girlfriend is so ashamed of me that she's refusing to share a tent. I'm sleeping in my truck bed. FML
Today, I walked into my shed to find my daughter's boyfriend asleep and completely duct-taped to the ceiling, with his face painted like a clown. FML
Today, my daughter's boyfriend came to the house to pick her up. As a responsible father, I had an evil plan to torture the boy who dares date my girl, but my wife preempted my plan so during his short visit, she stood behind me the whole time with her taser down my buttcrack in case I acted up.

Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you continue with a gift idea when someone is telling you not to? Granted, you could not have known the bear mauling bit. However, you seem like one of those annoying gift givers that buy things according to what YOU think a person should have.

I'm guessing OP couldn't bear the thought of not making the Teddy for both of them.

Your daughter is old enough to have a boyfriend and you made them both build a bears? Way to freak her boyfriend out no wonder he ran you really need to get a life

What I don't get is why did YOU make build-a-bears for a new couple several years younger than you? It would be find if they made the bears themselves as a couple, but why would you make them?

The mom sounds intense. If my kid told me they didn't want something corny like that, I wouldn't waste the money.

You seem like the type of person who does not listen to their children. Just because you think it would "be cute" does not mean you discount what your daughter says about HER relationship. Here is a lesson for life, your daughter's relationship, future children, future husband, ect, should always be respected as hers. If she tells you her boyfriend would not like something, respect that. Learn this now before you get into fights when she finally has kids and tells you not to buy them X, and you do anyways.

For her NEW boyfriend? What happens if they break up? Are you going to go get build-a-bear sets for the boyfriend after him, too?

YDI- she was telling you not to. She ha a reason, and you ignored it. Maybe next time you should listen?

What kind of mom makes a build-a-bear replica of their daughter's NEW boyfriend? Even after she explicitly told you not to?

A poor one.

Or one with too much money. The damn things are like $90 each if you're not careful.

I'm sorry, but YDI. You should've asked why she didn't want the bears instead of just going ahead and making them anyways. It is a cute idea, but only if you as a couple are into that sort of thing.
