Not too fond of the chair
Today, my son threw the biggest fit in history about going to the dentist. He broke a whole stack of plates, overflowed the bathtub, let the dog loose, and kicked his father when he tried to calm him down. My son is 17. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML
Today, my son threw a temper tantrum and told me I “should have aborted him” and threatened to run away from home. Why? Because I nicely asked him to share his french fries with his sister. My son is 17. FML
Today, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter threw a massive fit over showering. She dislodged the shower curtain rod and threatened to beat us with it if we ever force her to shower again. FML
Today, my son thought it was a good idea to spray deodorant into his mouth because he wanted fresh breath. This resulted in him passing out. My son is 17. FML
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. FML
Today, I caught my son trying to punch his own teeth out so he'd get more money from the tooth fairy. FML
Today, I had to go into school for the third time this week because my son is claiming he's on bath salts and biting all his classmates. My son is 16. FML
Today, my 16-year-old son broke two of his fingers playing with Play-Doh. FML

Sounds like someone still needs his ass whooped! I understand he's 17, but if you want to act like a child than you should be treated like a child!

What a brat.
leeman34 7
#1 is right ,a brat . must have to do with his upbringing
gc327072 31
This is why I promote spanking, and punishment.
Lindahhxd 7
Next time he asks you to do something, throw a tantrum and show how humiliating it is to be in your position.
wlddog 14
My dad would have straight up punch me and I wouldn't blame him. Someone did not get spanked enough as a child, but since he wants to behave like a child maybe you should punish him like one.
Epikouros 32
Yeah, if he's going to the dentist anyway, you might just as well punch a few teeth out.
mb2_native 15
Even though its most likely her paying for it, I think it might be worth it. In this case OP, go for it.
TheNewGuy03 29
**** that "child abuse" shit people are tossing around now; just spank his ass until the shit is red as an orchard apple. He has to learn somehow. Better that than having the "real world" hit him in the ass...
unjustlychicken 10
The kid was probably on drugs.

Good thing marijuana isn't a drug.
Cian_1 28
Capital punishment's the only solution here. :P (I am joking by the way, before you thumb me into oblivion.)
tjv3 10
YDI for letting him do all that. I would have thrown him outside and locked the door

Funny how parenting doesn't start when they are 17...

Yes but what if the child has aspergers or is bipolar? That's what it sounds like to me, not necessarily that the child is just a brat.
jjessen 20
I have Aspergers, and I am nowhere near as bad as that.
BubbleGrunge 18
I believe if the child has any sort of behavioral issues, OP would be understanding and would know how to handle the situation. My brother has bi-polar disorder, on top of schizophrenia, and never behaved that way. Yes, ever disorder affects people differently, however, the FML makes the kid out to be a brat, not a behavioral challenged child who is having a melt down.
skyeyez9 25
My good friend is bi-polar. You would never know it unless he told you. Of course he is on medication for it. But when he has one of his episodes, he "shuts out the world" gets very depressed, quiet and doesn't leave his house. He isn't violent. He just gets into this extreme depression and difficult to shake out of it.
sens3sfailing 25
I am that exact same way. I was diagnosed with depression by my family doctor after he talked to a theropist he suggested I go to, but now at college, the head of the counseling center feels I may have cyclothimia. or something like that. it is a more mild form of bi polar disorder where you do not get the extreme states of manic happiness, but still get depressed. I can go through a day fine, but when I get sad, I get SAD! I have told people that the best thing to do for me personally is to come talk to me, sometimes its just nice to know soneone cares, or even notices you are upset because I usually skew things in my head so I can tell myselr I am ignored when in those states. but, if they do ask you too leave, listen, if I don't want to vent, I just want to be alone. like you said, everyone is different, but maybe he feels the same way. I am a totally different person when I get upset, and conditions like that need to be considered before you judge someone

I have Aspbergers and bi polor disorder, and have not acted like that in 12 years. Sometimes a good behaviour modification is very useful. I really hate when people assume that all autistic people act out. With the right treatment, anyone can behave. There are many available treatments, that can work to modify the violent tendencies. I will get off my soapbox now.
dwc2134 5
Aspie here too, and I haven't acted like that since I was a youngin'. You'd think if there was an underlying problem, there would have been many more signs before this.

I have severe anxiety to the point where I go into panic attacks. Sometimes in severe cases I will scream to let off steam, but I've never destroyed any object in the house. This kid sounds just downright undisciplined. How did he get away with all of these things anyhow? He should have been punished after the first thing he did.
fml121785 14
9,18,21,30,39,103,139 Or... Maybe he just a spoiled brat that needs his ass whooped!
mangoboy1 19
This is the parent's fault I think
Batterypost 23
But you know, "ass-whoopings" are considered as child abuse, at least where I live.
Demonyx 6
so, from what i understand, you whoop children's asses?
SillyGirl4602 23
9, if the child had Aspergers or bipolar I feel that op would have mentioned that. The kid is probably a spoiled brat that doesn't receive any discipline.
Metallica36176 16
Exactly 2! My 24 year old brother got back handed by my mom the other day because he called her a moron. My brother and I both were disciplined and we became stronger.
fcryingoutloud 9
Because it's okay to beat children...?
fml121785 14
209- No one said anything about "beating" him, he's 17 first off and a good old fashion spanking would work just fine! I mean he kicked his father for ****'s sake! That's what's wrong with kids today, I got spanked many times and I'm not ****** up in the head from it!
Kris_95_fml 7
#2 did... I got many a "ass whooping" when I was a child ... As did my brothers who have the most vile tempers, along with my self I'm 17 how ever my brothers being 14 and twelve do kick off like that mainly due to the anger related problems that they have with the exception to the kicking the father part if my brothers dad was to spank him my 14 year old brother would kick his ass but I don't think many children were abused as much as my brother and I were... Ofc there's some one worse off always is but with beatings come hard ass children with ****** up problems lol
BubbleGrunge 18
I think I need to clarify something; spanning and beating a child are two different things. My mama always told us she was going to beat us but it was used as a figure of speech. Spanking IS NOT ABUSE! Leaving marks, making your child bleed or having them so terrified to make a mistake because of the wrath of a parent IS abuse. It doesn't always have to be physical abuse either; emotional and mental abuse is the most detrimental abuse a child can endure. Emotional and mental abuse is also the hardest abuse to prove happened. However, spanning and discipline is not abuse, it is teaching a child right from wrong.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I REALLY hope you punished him. Severely.

Not everyone matures with age.
TheDrifter 24
Some age like fine wine, others age more like milk.

I wonder what OPs son does when he doesn't get the toy he wants.
emeraldisle 30
If he insists on acting like a child, he can he spanked like one too.
stolencookie 17
Maybe your son needs a different kind of doctor. Like one for his retardation...
SillyGirl4602 23
Yes, op's child MUST be developmentally challenged. That must be it.
Pleonasm 36
HAs he got mental problems or something? Or bad past experiences with the dentist that traumatised him? Maybe there is more to this FML. Or maybe he is an immature little twatbag.
sum42guy2k 6
I think he is just a child at heart… oh, wait… that's most men
emilyjgraham 34
Actually 87, I believe that most people not just men. Everyone loves something that makes and keeps them young. Also, I wouldn't say this makes him a "child at heart'. This makes him a brat who's parents apparently didn't give enough slaps when he was growing up. This wouldn't even be understandable if he had a fear just say "I'm scared", no need to break stuff!
onlychildFTW 34
Even if there was some past trauma it doesn't mean physical violence is acceptable. There are other, more mature ways to deal with it. And if he had some kind of mental problem OP probably would know how to deal with it. I'll assume he is just an immature brat that needs a spanking and corner time and grounding.

Hide the Xbox, take his keys, no fun for him for a while
arcadekid1 9
Did anyone consider that he may have previously had an undesirable experience with the dentist? Maybe not all the tools went in the patients mouth...
