Today, it's been 3 months since my dog scratched my 9 year old granddaughter after she walked over and repeatedly kicked him. My daughter has disowned me and won't let me see my own grandchildren until I have my companion of 11 years "destroyed". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw my grandfather kick my dog, who is a 6-pound chihuahua, across the room. When I confronted him about it, he screamed at me for having "too much sex during the apocalypse" and "invading my brain with your pancakes." This man is my legal guardian for 3 more years. FML
Today, it's been weeks since my teenage kids have walked the dog I got them; they also don’t play with it, pay it any attention, or feed it. It’s all been me, so since I never wanted it in the first place, I gave it to a friend of my mom's. My kids now think I’m the devil and my husband says I overreacted. FML
Today, my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter came up to me and asked if she could have my dog. When I said no, she started crying so much that her mom came out 5 minutes later and demanded that I give her daughter the dog. FML
Today, my mom's super spoiled small demon dog attacked my 3 year-old daughter, mauling her leg. Out of instinct, I kicked it away, causing it to fly across the room yelping. I picked up my daughter and took her straight to the hospital, where she got stitches. Later that night, I was greeted with a vet bill. FML
Today, it's been one week since my demented grandma babysat my five-year-old daughter while my husband took me to a fancy restaurant. Now she's taken to screaming and calling me a "damn commie" whenever I discipline or say no to her. FML
Today, I lost my custody battle and I have to return my grandchildren to my disowned daughter, who was allowing her now ex-husband to abuse them. I can't appeal or anything because frankly we don't have the funds. I wish I'd never had her. FML
Today, as punishment for getting caught kissing my precious newborn grandbaby two years ago, my son and his nasty wife have barred me from even meeting my second grandbaby until she's at least two months old. FML
Today, my daughter told me that now that she's a Christian, I can no longer see my grandchildren unless I repent from my "homosexual lifestyle." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML
Today, my grandmother hates me. So much so that I've become a rotten, desperate, and overall evil person with no thoughts and considerations towards other people. My family doesn't know this, but I can never undo the damage she has done to me since birth (as she raised me). I only care about my own well-being, nothing else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell her to shut the **** up.

Clearly some adults haven't realized what your granddaughter either has by now or needs to: that there are consequences for actions and that animals are not punching bags.

That's horrible! You're daughter needs to teach her kid not to abuse animals.

It sounds like OP got the better end of the deal. A loving dog, while a crazy daughter and sadist granddaughter are out of her life for the moment.

Well, figure out who is more important, ur companion of 11 years or ur daughter whom you gave birth to and raised for definitely more than 11 years.

Your not going to kill your dog over your daughter not knowing how to properly raise a well behaved child who respects humans and animals alike.
RobinGoodfellow 47
Why should she need to "figure out who is more important"? That animal has a life and was provoked, she either gets to spend time with her unreasonable daughter or kill a creature that did nothing but defend itself. It's not importance, it's morality and not giving in to the ridiculous demands of the human equivalent of a fly-infested turd.

#27 - based on your logic, OP should get rid of her granddaughter as she's only known her for nine years.....

I get where #27 is coming from. On one hand that dog is just another animal. OP's granddaughter and daughter should be her most important relationships on this earth, even if they are bratty. I'm not sure I would give up a relationship with a good part of my family for a dog, especially when said dog probably wouldn't care about me either way if it could think like we do.

To many people, a dog becomes part of the family, not just "a dog" thus having them put down for one spoilt little brats actions is not so easy of a decision especially when the dog was provoked by the girl kicking it

Really 181? Many people consider their pets as members of their family, myself included. And if you kick a dog, you deserve to be scratched and more. My only problem with this scenario is that nobody is teaching OP's bratty granddaughter not to kick dogs; this could let her in for far worse injury if she decides it's fun to annoy a dog. As far as I'm concerned, OP is better off without her rotten daughter and granddaughter.

Your argument is ridiculous! It's got nothing to do with who is more important! It is about a daughter who needs to grow up and take responsibility for her Childs unacceptable behaviour! What would your reaction be if the story had of been that the child had kicked another child! Children need to be taught right from wrong and this childs mother is being a irresponsible parent! Also dogs are bit as stupid as people like to believe, a lot of dogs are very protective of their owners and many have saved their owners when their owners have been in danger! YouTube it, there are countless videos proving dogs intelligence.

Who needs a daughter when you have a dog.

Why don't you ask you mother, why does she love you more than any dog on the planet.

Your granddaughter had it coming! And your daughter is pretty small minded to overlook her child's behavior.
WhatHappenedToIt 22
I'm sorry but your daughters a moron. She needs to accept her child is a brat and she needs a smack. My son gets a hand smack anytime he hits one of my cats. I don't tolerate that crap.

Please don't give in to her wishes. Sounds like your grandkids wouldn't be pleasant to be around anyway. Sorry :/

Umm, your daughter is a really horrible person, my apologies. Though I'm curious as to how the rotten apple fell so far from the tree. People who insist animals be euthanized over minor incidents, ESPECIALLY when the animal was just defending itself or being harassed, infuriate me. They clearly do not value animal life at all, & I'm glad I'll never be able to comprehend that sentiment. It's even shittier of her to withhold your granddaughter. The kid is very lucky to have you & needs to see more of you. Also to learn to NEVER kick an animal. I'd have lost my shit if someone did that to my dog, even if it was my young relative. Jesus. Both mother & daughter seem to have some animal cruelty issues to sort out, I hope they can do that.

Please accept my sincerest apologies - your daughter is an idiot. If I were in your position I would never have my dog destroyed over something he/she only did because they were provoked. Hopefully in time you'll be able to see your grandchildren again. Be strong and don't give in.

I can't stand people who don't teach their children how to treat animals and then get pissed when their child gets hurts from mistreating an animal. ?

Definitely FYL OP. That is an impossible position to be in. I hope you and your daughter can work things out. Obviously you are never going to murder your healthy 11 year dog because of one scratch caused by an obviously cruel little girl in need of some serious discipline. I don't understand how you're the one being punished when it should be your granddaughter.
