Stranger danger
Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML

Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. FML

Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML

Not now!
Today, I was in a department store with my three year old daughter to buy some new jeans. I took her into the dressing room with me and as I began to take off my pants she yells, "Mommy, you can't go peepee in here!!" I am no longer welcome in that particular store. FML

No more bring your kids to work days
Today, I took my 6 year-old to work. A normally docile child, she chased me around with her toy - beating me with it while all my colleagues watched - not stopping despite me requesting her to. When she finally lost said toy, she threw a huge tantrum. Guess who's banned from my office. FML

Today, I had to profusely apologize to a woman after my six year old son decided to crawl between her legs at the supermarket, then look up her skirt and loudly ask why she didn't have any panties on. FML

Please tell me you had the common sense not to give in to her?

I think I speak for the entire fml community when I say that I really REALLY hope you did not give in.

Well sorry OP, but you get no sympathy from me. If she was 16, fine, that's pretty FML-worthy that a teenager would throw a tantrum over a dumb bra. But 6 years old? What kind of parenting have you been doing? How on earth could a 6-year-old want a pushup bra so badly? I think you need to look into what TV shows she's watching and what friends she has. This isn't normal at all.

It's not always the parents fault. Kids are influenced by other things beside what's at home. People are so quick to blame. Did you ever think about the kids at school? Older sister? It's not like a bra is some dirty word or inappropriate idea.

I don't think this has anything to do with bad parenting. Children throw tantrums all the time. Maybe she has an older sister who wears bras, maybe she's seen her mom's bras, maybe she saw a woman on the front of a magazine wearing one. The point is, there are so many things that could've led to her knowing about and wanting a pushup bra, that it probably had nothing to do with OPs parenting skills. You can't monitor every single little thing your child sees.

Where the hell are children learning these things? I didn't know what bras were, let alone push-up bras when I was six years old.

Maybe she has an older sister who wears bras.

Guys, maybe she just wanted it for what it looked like. A lot of push up bras have pretty designs on them. I know when I was little I wanted things like that because they looked neat.

yeah whenever we passed by Victoria's Secret when i was younger i always wanted something from there jist because it was pretty. My mom always said, "thats grown up clothes. Get it when youre older." only years later did i realize the mortification my mother must have had when i was pointing at the lingerie and bras. o.O

She probably needs all the help she can get in that area. If the other little girls have them, she could end up the crazy cat lady spinster of First Grade. You wouldn't want that, would you?

If she's worried about getting a bra already, I can't imagine what she will be worried about at 13

I'm glad OP finds this abnormal. There are a lot of parents that would have bought it with no problem. I can't believe some of the clothes I see on little girls these days. sad. :(

Control your child. A good smack on the bum stops temper tantrums. (I'm not talking about beating your child.)

She's six. She has nothing to push up!
