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.
Same thing different taste
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
Grow your own
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
Social services
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
Custody
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
Dick move
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

Oh no, your child is normal, your life sucks? Sure, you should teach your kid to be respectful and not be bratty, but I don't know a single kid who hasn't had a similar moment, regardless of how spoiled or respectful they are. Yours just happens to have the fact that she's adopted to use in her argument; if she was your biological child, she'd probably say she wished she had different parents, or that she wants to run away to the circus or something. Seriously, this is a situation nearly every parent deals with. No big deal.

True, I've heard lots of kids wishing they were adopted cause they didn't want to be related to parents they thought were weird.

You shouldn't have even adopted her in the first place knowing that she's an ungrateful bitch.

Call her bluff. Tell her you're going to get the car out of the garage and to be out front in five minutes. (actually, what #72 said is right - give her ways to save up for her own toys.)

I'd tell her that since she obviously appreciate the toys you've already bought her, that you'll take them away and give them to kids who don't have any. Maybe take her to volunteer somewhere she can see how much she has. And /or give her a list of things she can do to earn money to buy her own toys. Kids say things like that all the time, no matter how much/or little they have...best to illustrate how much she already has, and give her the work ethic to create her own standard of living!! Also, a little lecture on being considerate of other people's feelings might be good too.

What is this, Brat Day on FML? I would like to second the motion that she needs some perspective and perhaps an incentive such as beginning to do extra chores to earn extra money. She is probably comparing herself to another child who has more toys than she does. You might do a bit of probing and find out who that child is and what the story is. Is she lording it over your daughter? Do her parents buy things instead of giving her attention? Something is skewed here that she's saying something so ugly to you, but my hunch is that it really isn't anything you're doing or not doing, just an outside influence that is less than great.

Maybe she's equated money with love because she hasn't had a stable family to show her what love really is. It's not an uncommon behavioral difficulty. You just have to be a parent and teach her what's really important in life. I'm sure it's harder adopting older children than babies as they've already been shaped and will probably fight your ways more, but kudos to you for doing it. I hope you have her in counseling to deal with the difficulties associated with being an adopted child and what put her in that situation and maybe if you talk to her counselor about her behavior they can work on it. Yeah it's normal now a days for children to be greedy, but it's still not good behavior. She could also be testing you to see if you really care about her and will be in her life permanently regardless of what she says and does to you. Good luck!

All we know is that the child is eight and adopted, not that she was 8 when she was adopted. OP may have actually raised her from infancy.
