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

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

give her chores to do to earn a dollar or two at a time. she can earn money to buy her own toys if she feels she needs more. plus, she just might take care of them better if they were bought with "hard earned" money from loading/unloading the dishwasher, folding towels, drying dishes, sweeping the floor and such.

I'd take away all the toys and privileges that kid has and make her earn them back with extra chores before getting new toys.

if I were u, I'd probably smack her across her head and say "NO CHANCE. Take it or leave it." And smirk. >:]

Take her to a friend's house and say they're her new parents. Make sure they're very strict with her (not outright mean, but very few toys, no sweets, etc.) and once she's miserable, bring her home. She'll appreciate it a lot more.

That's quite a cunning plan. Quite admirable. My dad just hit me until I was grateful, but that isn't allowed anymore nor as cunning.

You are brilliant. May I use this idea when/if the time comes?

When I first read your idea I thought you were a genius! Then after some thought I realized it probably wouldn't be such a great idea, adopted children already have abandonment issues and even though it's a friend she will always worry if you really will take her back. Even though she is being bratty right now just reassure her that you love her and would never give her back. She is just testing her limits, it all boils down to abandonment issues.

Adopted children only have abandonment issues if the parents don't deal with the adoption and make it seem normal. I have an adopted son after having a non-adopted daughter. We discussed the issue as soon as he was old enough to understand the word. We bought story books about it and read them together and answered any questions he had. Like any normal kid, there are issues, but abandonment is not one of them.
