Today, I have watched the Elmo's World episode featuring balls ten times in a row. The toddler I'm watching screams if I put on something different. His mom just said she was stuck in traffic. She should be back in about five and a half more replays. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my supervisor was watching a video of his son. I heard a voice in the background and asked if it was Elmo. It was his wife. FML
Today, yet again, whenever I try to put on music in the car, my son starts chanting, "Poop! Poop! Poop!" to the tune of whatever I put on. It's been almost six months and it's driving me fucking crazy. FML
Today, my 3-year-old broke his glasses, clogged the toilet with Hot Wheel cars, and covered the whole house with Cheerios. All in a matter of roughly six minutes while I was putting laundry away. FML
Today, I had to listen to Lou Bega's "Mambo Number 5" on constant replay for 3 hours, because my little sister was trying to learn a dance for a recital. It would have been even longer than 3 hours, but she then realized that she was dancing to the wrong song. FML
Today, I drove 12 hours with 6 screaming little girls. They were arguing about things that should've been in the Lego movie. They watched it 4 times. FML
Today, it's been three days since my mom starting ranting the about the "obscenity" of the Super Bowl halftime show. FML
Today, my mom's response to everything is now screaming. Two year-old brother playing quietly? Screaming. Computer freezes? Screaming. Mailman? Screaming. We tried to get her tested but no doctor can stand her for more than ten minutes. FML
Today, my three year-old son excitedly went to the window to watch the construction site next door. He does this all the time and it's adorable… at least, it was until a man got run over by a bulldozer with him watching. He screamed for hours and now cries if I don't keep the curtains closed. FML
Today, I had to have a serious talk with my 30-year-old husband about why Sesame Street isn't a "soap opera." FML
Today, my child is so super clingy and needy, I have to sit and watch her bounce on the trampoline attentatively or else face hours and hours of whining. She's like the Screamapillar from the Simpsons. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My little sister went through a stage where all she would watch was Mulan, every single day. At least that was a movie and the was the first and second one out at the time. The songs are now stuck in my head forever. Think of it this way, at least you get to go home and don't have to watch it there.

Put on something different and have a screaming contest.

Maybe actually play with the child instead of just watching television with him?

I knew Elmo was a creep after he started asking strangers to tickle him, but asking strangers to watch his balls is just sick.

Op you're basically telling the child that if they cry and scream they'll get what they want, now a good thing to teach them.

I don't blame the kid that episode was awesome

That's what happens when you have and/or look after toddlers. I could quote you the whole script and each song from Home at this point, as well as Hotel Transylvania 2. Drives me batty.

Hehehehe... "Batty".

I've known many little ones like the same episode of the same programme over and over, and their parents being so sick of it. Count down the replays and take deep breaths, then buy the kid the DVD of the programme so that everyone can enjoy the same characters but with much more variety!

If there was only some kind of device to distract you so you shouldn't have to watch that. That would be great. Ow yeah your phone

Phones are expensive. Toddlers are destructive, and this one isn't even OP's kid. It's one thing if the parents are at their wits' end.
