Today, my 14-year-old son's pathetic rebellion came to a head. He ran away from home, leaving a note saying he hates me and was leaving forever to be part of a gang his friends had formed. He came back an hour later crying. His whole gang had gotten mugged, which he somehow blamed me for. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML
Today, my punishment for my 14 year-old troublemaker son seems to have badly backfired. My husband and I sent him to live with my strict disciplinarian father for a while, and not only has he changed, but he loves it there and refuses to come home. My dad is on his side. I don't know what to do. FML
Today, I came home to my son crying and packing a bag, with his laptop smashed on the floor. He said he needed to run away because a "crazy military guy" was coming to kill him. I logged in to his account and found that someone had sent him the Navy SEAL copypasta. He's 16. FML
Today, my son got in an argument with my boyfriend, packed up his stuff, and moved in with his dad. Not five minutes later I saw my boyfriend doing his stupid happy dance. When angrily confronted, he admitted he orchestrated every argument for months until he got the result he wanted, my son gone. FML
Today, my 14 year-old son asked to join my buddies and me at the gun range. The second I finished the safety lecture and handed him a pistol, he started twirling it on his finger (thankfully, it was unloaded). I smacked him in the head and took him home. Now he's moping and sulking like a bitch. FML
Today, after my 14 year-old son brought home six Fs on his report card, we decided to take away all his video games and sell them. He screamed for hours, then went into the kitchen and started smashing glasses against his head, "until we brought back his games." FML
Today, I had to give my four year-old daughter some tough love, which I hate doing. When she ran away crying, my son, her twin brother, looked at me and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself." FML
Today, after spending 6 months and $15,000 on lawyer fees at my 13 year-old son's request, his abusive, alcoholic father no longer has any legal right to see him. How did my son repay me? He ran away to live with his father the very first time I told him he couldn't have friends sleep over. FML
Today, my son visited for the first time in three years, asking to stay a while. It turns out he insulted someone online and gave his address in case they wanted to fight him. They accepted the offer, and so my son's imaginary Muay Thai skills went AWOL, along with his testicles. FML
Today, my teenage son broke into my gun safe, took my gun, and dumped the magazine into the side of his ex-girlfriend's family home. He's completely stunned that he was arrested and charged with attempted murder. My wife blames me and wants a divorce. FML

I feel bad, but that's a bit of karma. A bit more than he bargained for, but still.

Guess he chose the thug life, but the thug life didn't choose him.

I suppose that's opposite for me. The thug life chose me but I didn't chose it. I wanted to become a ballerina! Well, at least I'm dodging bullets and the police with the grace of a swan.

You should have told him while he was gone you had rented his room out, and it belonged to "Todd" now and he'll have to sleep in the back yard.

Be honest. Were you responsible? Because that would be a -badass- way of taking the wind out of a gang's sails. xD

This is a perfect opportunity for you as a parent! Karma has shown him that he is better off listening to his parents and you can really encourage him to make good life choices!

That'd be the hormones running rampant in his brain. Wait for it to blow over and try to distract yourself from thoughts of filicide for the next few years - ideally by taking a lot of videos that you can embarrass him with when he's out of the woods and old enough to realize what a little shit he was.

Bet the muggers got away with it too. This is what he and his gang gets for being those meddling kids.

The image that pops up in my head after reading this is hilarious. Hope he learned something from this.

There is a reason some animals eat their young ;-) Record this. Do you have ANY idea how great a blackmail video this will be in the future when HE has kids???
