Today, my 8 year-old adopted daughter told me she wants me to take her back so another family can adopt her because I don't give her enough toys. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my daughter asked me if we could adopt a child. I said no, since we can't afford to support another child. She then asked me if she could just adopt another dad instead. FML
Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML
Today, my daughter had a meltdown when I told her I donated some of her old toys to Goodwill. It turns out Toy Story has taught her that toys have feelings and that she has a meaningful relationship with them. She's in her teens. FML
Today, my daughter told me she never wants to see me again because I had an abortion. She wanted me to have the baby and then give it to her so she could raise it as hers. FML
Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, at work I had to handle two selfish parents returning their adopted 6 year-old daughter to foster care because, “She doesn’t, like, fit with our lifestyle, and my mom is, like, too old to babysit her anymore and we, like, can’t afford a nanny.” I hate my job. FML
Today, I regret letting my adoptive daughter find her biological father because now he's intent on getting her back. He said he never agreed to giving her up for adoption and will do everything in his power to get her. She's terrified. FML
Today, I heard my 7 year-old step-daughter tell her father over Zoom she cries every night, because she wants to go home with him. I don't have the heart to tell her that he had kicked her and her mom out of the house because he thought mom's stretch marks were unattractive. FML

Reason #3476 I'm not having kids.

So, what are the other 3475 reasons if I may ask? :)

Agreed, kt. Although I don't ever want kids either, I have to admit that stories like this make me feel almost obligated to have a few, for society's sake. If people with sense don't raise the next generation— and it seems like a lot of the peers I really respect are also "childless by choice"— I'm not sure I want to live to a ripe ol' age. O.o

for everyone saying "bitch slap her" ,"spank her" or "what a bitch/take her back",etc WTF is wrong with you!?!!! the kids 8 years old. so she wants more toys so what!?! ok so spanking the childs going to make it all better? Or slapping her would solve things!? i Hope NONE of you people have kids. what the hell do you expect for a little kid to say? like really, look how immature you all sound. i bet when you guys were younger,you were "BRATS" as well. so STFU.

No, lots of people were NOT brats because they were disciplined, you ******* moron. This parent NEEDS to spank the kid or else she'll become a bratty little shit.

I was never a bratty little kid, are you retarded?? that statement right there would have gotten me a swift slap across the face.

I definitely would NEVER have said such a thing. Eight is well past the age where a child can understand what selfishness and greed are and the importance of *not* being those things, as well as how to show gratitude, respect for parents and respect for others' feelings. This kid is being bratty, period. She ought to be disciplined in whatever way will affect her the most.

53 very true. But what we don't no is how she said it. (in what tone and manner she said it in.) I agree if it was in a kids way (with no thought) it's a kid thing. if so happens she was having a fit and can't take no as an answer. then some type of punishment is in order. but there is still need to remember it's an 8 year old kid when doing so. I don't care what anyone says sometimes the only thing kids understand is to be hit. (this should be done right too. by tell your kid what he/she did first so they know why they got hit and have some type of understanding. don't misunderstand me hitting is not the only type of punishment there is so pick and choose with thought not out of rage.

i agree with 53 i was a little brat when i was 8 i still am :P bitch slapping her or hitting her wont solve anything... its cruel and unecessary there are other ways to punish a child. luckaly ( or whatever its spelled for all u gramar b*tches ) my parets didnt hit me or non of that but i still learned discipline by getting grounded and stuff, OP just give it some time and dont take it personally

210, it seems that some beating would have done you a lot of good. But OK, what can you expect from a "jacqueline" - if any name screams spoiled trash, it's that one.

She is young enough that you can correct her behavior.

Hey you'd better get used to it! Trust me I know....it won't be the last time she says that. Don't take it personal that's the reward you get for doing the right thing......

Can an 8 year old fit into a wood chipper? Hypothetically question, of course.

every kid says stuff like that, the only difference is your kid thinks she can trade you in for new ones...

I recommend a toy called a rake. It helps collect toys called leaved, which collectively create a toy called a pile... It's a lot of fun, actually.

Once, when I was a kid, I jumped into a pile of leaves in my grandma's yard. It was full of ants :[
