Today, my teenage daughter faked a suicide because I bought her a Samsung instead of an iPhone for her birthday. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I bought my girlfriend an iPhone. I preloaded it with a bunch of cool apps and stuff and spent a lot and money. She used it to send a text to me 3 hours later saying that she thought we should break up. FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, my sister refuses to talk to me because I didn't post her a "Happy birthday" in an Instagram story. It seems that the iPhone 12 I gave her as a present is just not enough. She's 19. FML
Today, my daughter and her best friend made an elaborate plan that she was kidnapped, causing me to cough up $7000 in ransom money, which I later found out was a hoax. All this because she’s still upset I left her terminally ill mother for my current girlfriend. FML
Today, I went to visit some family out of state for my niece's birthday. I couldn't think of what to get an 8-year-old so I got her a Barbie doll. Everyone else got her money, iPods, game consoles, etc. When she got to mine she asked "how do I turn it on?" Then threw it away when she couldn't. FML
Today, I discovered that my 17-year-old daughter received several weird deposits from Paypal. I checked her phone to discover that she had changed the password for the first time in years. Fearing drugs, I confronted her. She broke down and confessed to selling rare digital Pokemon on eBay. FML
Today, I asked my fiancé's daughter to use her phone so I could call mine which I'd misplaced. Busy with homework, she nodded. Only after she jumped up did I notice that she had my number listed with a humiliating nickname, and accompanied by a photo of her middle finger. FML
Today, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML
Today, I got a call informing me that my 16-year-old daughter had been arrested for shoplifting jewellery. Trying to look on the bright side, I assumed it was for my birthday that is coming up in a few days. Nope. It was a "Thank you" gift. For her drug dealer. FML
Today, my daughter asked to use my phone to find hers. Instead, she sent multiple messages to my boyfriend, trying to break up with him. When asked why she did it, she said it’s because she wants me to get back with her father. This would be somewhat understandable if she wasn’t 32 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Everyone is saying to take the phone away or to switch it off, (With A Side Dish of Discipline and Counseling) but how about OP doesn't remove or replace the phone, but cuts the plan. No contact and no use, and she'll have to see it everyday.

Definitely deserved. Kids don't become like that for no reason - although there are exceptions.

Samsung is better. Way less issues

I have a Samsung and I LOVE it. Personally, I dont like iPhones, but no matter what that is NO REASON TO FAKE A SUICIDE. For God's sake, if she didnt like the gift, she could have been honest and asked if she could have traded it in.

Exactly. I had an S3 for two years, and am now using an iPhone (it was free). Not being able to get the phone I actually wanted did not kill me. I'm dealing with it. The girl should just consider herself lucky that her parents would buy her something as expensive as a Samsung!

You should show her how serious this actually is and check her into a psych-hospital until they think she is safe and sane. This needs to be addressed by a professional.

YDI kids don't get that spoiled without a LOT of help from their parents. Take back the phone and let her buy her own if it's that important to her. Use the money to buy yourself some parenting lessons.

It might be the other parent who spoils her, which is especially easy if the don't live together. Many divorced parents spoil their kids, especially the parent who has them the least amount of time. Or she just hang with a horrible crowd, and because her friends get everything she expects it too.
