Today, my 5 year-old twin boys decided to teach each other how to fly off the shed out back. They are still in their pajamas. Batman's arm is broken and Spiderman has a slight concussion. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son wanted to be Spiderman. He found the biggest spider he could outside and let it bite his hand. He's staying overnight in the hospital. FML
Today, my 6 year-old son and his cousin were play boxing. For fun, I taught them some real moves. I guess my son is a natural but my nephew got hit so hard he fell over and broke his arm. Now I have to explain this to my wife and her sister. FML
Today, my 4-year-old twin sons discovered how to lock doors. They locked me out of the house while I was taking out the trash. I had to climb through the kitchen window, which they'd generously smeared with peanut butter. FML
Today, my son broke his hand when he and his best friend had the genius idea of punching each other in the fists as hard as they could. FML
Today, I slipped on my son's Hot Wheels cars and fell onto a building made out of Lego. I now have a fractured tailbone and a broken wrist. I called my husband to tell him what happened and all he could do was laugh. My son didn't leave them on the floor, my husband did. FML
Today, my five year old ran down the street wearing nothing but flip flops, Star Wars underwear, and a baseball helmet. He was swinging a badminton racket while screaming "THIS IS SPARTA!" My neighbors watched laughing as I had to run after him down the street in my pajamas. FML
Today, I found a banana peel on the clean floor. My 4-year-old son said that he was playing Spider-Man and trying to slip. I picked it up and while walking to the kitchen garbage can, slipped on the actual banana. I slid across the kitchen floor, fell, and bruised my tailbone. He laughed. FML
Today, I was babysitting 3 toddlers. I wanted to entertain them by making them laugh, but nothing worked. Later on, I started down the stairs, but tripped and tumbled down. I realized I have broken my arm and bruised my knees. I also realized that kids think it's hilarious when you get injured. FML
Today, I babysat my neighbour's spoilt bratty twins. When I told them it was their bed time, they pushed me over. One then started smashing me with a plastic sword, and as I lay helpless on the floor the other one peed on me. I got owned by two five year olds. FML
Today, my son has a habit of picking on his little brother when in a bad mood. I heard a massive crash and found him out cold with his little brother holding a homemade slingshot and a bunch of rocks. Apparently, in school they just learned about David and Goliath. FML

How about you watch your children so stuff like that doesn't happen?

To be fair, she might have been referring to how illegible the above post was, and not the content. Because while I agree with what was posted... holy hell, that was a strain to read.

Yay Jersabelle!!! You took the words right outta my mouth...your son is lucky you're his mom :-) I remember playing outside all damn day when I was 5,6,7 years old. Those were the days...

Maybe she was making breakfast and thought it would be better for them to play in the backyard than sit on their butts playing video games... Don't blame her

And where were you when your two 5 year olds were climbing onto a freakin shed? Carelessness as a parent

But how are your kids?

I'm wondering about that as well. I wish the OP didn't leave us hanging.

I'm pretty sure since OP knows the arm is broken and the concussion is minor, both boys have been to the hospital already. Kids that age heal really quick, so Spiderman will be rowdy as ever by morning and Batman should be out of the cast in a little over a month.

Ah boys. They'll definitely be boys. Don't worry op. They weren't permanently injured and I bet they won't do it again. They'll probably try something new next time ;) Kudos to this mom for getting her kids to play outside instead of watch tv. Ya they got hurt but so what? We can't keep our kids i
doodlez223 1
In a bubble or they'll never learn anything and never experience life. They'll probably break a few more bones and get a couple more concussions and a few dozen stitches but THEY'RE KIDS AND THAT'S WHAT KIDS DO. She isn't a bad parent because they got hurt.

Yea because broken bones is a sure sign of a kid that had an awesome adventurous childhood..rationalize fail.

Exactly 65! My mom sent us outside to play, as did every other mom on the block. Watching TV and playing video games were a treat and not the norm. Builds more character! 86, yeah...kids get broken arms and other injuries all the time. Unless they're sitting on the couch all day. Then they just get diabetes. And THAT is a fail.

86 have you never heard of playing football? Soccer? Baseball? Skateboarding? Bikes? Kids break bones and bust open lips and chins and get concussions and all kinds of things because they are being kids. I would say that a boy who never got to do those things had a seriously deprived childhood.

Is that statement considered "cool" where you're from? If so, I'm assuming you're in middle or high school.

Well duh, Batman and Spiderman can't fly. What are you teaching these poor, innocent children? Also, I fail to see how pajamas figure into this equation, and you should probably keep an eye on your children.

72 I'm pretty sure op called them that bc the boys were wearing Batman and Spiderman PJs :)
