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.

When I was six I knew exactly what a bra was. Even a push up bra. And yet I didn't want one because I knew what they were for and that I didn't have boobs yet. Am I the only person who grew up knowing about all this stuff but knowing my place and limits? I mean, what the hell?

I was in third grade when I realized I wanted to wear a bra and shave like my high school aged sisters I think that's about 8 y/o. my mom got me a cotton tangtop thing n called it a training bra and that was good enough... perhaps she wasn't having the meltdown over it being a pushup but over wanting to do.as those around her? I honestly doubt shed be able to recognize the differnce

Haha does she even know what a push up bra is meant for?

She probably didn't know it was a push up bra. She just wanted to feel grown up and wear a bra. Try getting her a training bra. My sister was her age when she started wearing them. In another three or four years, when her breasts start to develop, start her on cups. Best of luck, OP!

Am I the only one who thought that maybe the girl just saw something she wanted (maybe the bra had a cool pattern or something) and pitched a fit like children do all the time? Maybe the kid didn't even know what it was. I didn't know what a bra was when I was 6...

As someone who is around kids a lot, I can say with confidence that.absolutely nothing has changed about kids except the availability of technology -- but contrary to what you might think, they still also like playing outside and playing with simple toys and games! And they are not maturing any faster, it is just that society has come to value an extended childhood. That said, kids want crazy things (when I was her age, I wanted a hot air balloon), and I doubt that this is any more sexualized in her mind than the balloon was in mine. Also, even the best parents can't avoid tantrums from a young child, and it sounds to me like nothing is wrong with OP's parenting skills. After all, it's not like OP actually bought it for her...or like there appears to be a history of tantrums.

Tell her there's nothing to push up!
