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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I'm sorry, but I would've repeatedly kicked the kid to see how she likes it. Brat is definitely old enough to know not to do shit like that.

I'm sorry but a 9 year old is definitely old enough to know how to treat animals, especially not to kick them!

Cruelty towards animals is a sign of psychopathic tendencies. It could also be triggered because she herself had been abused. It's possible it was an isolated incident and won't happen again. Now I'm not saying she's a psychopath as we can't firmly diagnose something like that as child's brains aren't fully developed, but it's something that warrants watching. I'm sorry about your dog OP I hope she's alright. And hopefully your daughter comes to her senses.

I say that her kid needs to be ******* destroyed.

Sounds pretty similar to my sister-in-law and her boyfriend's kids. She wants her mom to put down their dog because it'll growl or bark at the kids when they repeatedly hit it or pull its tail. Yet she nor her husband do anything to try raising those kids themselves. They expect everyone else to do it for them. The older one is 5 I believe and appear to refuse to put her in school for some reason. My sister-in-law is a real piece of work.

Nine years old is way too old to be acting like that and the child definitely knows (or should know) better. If I were you and that kind of behavior reflects what the child is generally like, I wouldn't want to spend time with her in the first place. That said, your daughter is being ridiculous and I really hope you're able to work things out with your family soon, OP.

Do not destroy your dog... Enjoy your time with you loyal companion and in time your daughter will come running back to you especially when she needs a baby sitter or something like that. Be strong, I am thinking of you and with you!

Nine years old is old enough to know not to kick an animal, whether taught or not. At that age, she'll have been in contact with people outside of her home through some combination of school/friends/daycare/camps/extraneous activities to have had ~someone~ tell her that hitting and kicking aren't nice. If common courtesy wasn't enough for her to extend that general idea to animals, then the fact that dogs have nice, sharp teeth should have. The kid was being stupid and knew exactly what she was doing. She's just lucky that the dog was polite enough not to bite her for being a jerk to it.
