Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, the woman I babysat for blamed me for the cut on her son's face, and fired me with no pay for not looking after him properly. He already had the cut when I arrived. FML
Today, I was told I was disrespectful for letting a parent know that her son was disrespecting adults. FML
Today, a parent was too busy texting to notice her child had run in front of a moving truck. She did however see me grab the child's backpack to yank him back out of traffic. She then screamed at me for "manhandling" her child and demanded I be fired. It's not even my school; I'm a part time sub. FML
Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML
Today, I apparently didn’t teach my son the difference between defending himself from bullies and knocking out the bully's teeth, breaking his nose, cracking his ribs, and grinding his fingers under his boot until the bone splintered. Yes, the cops are involved and my ex-wife blames me, of course. FML
Today, someone called the police on me because one of my students was going home with me every day. The student is my son. FML
Today, as a teacher, I saw a younger boy kick an older boy in the crotch and I reported it in our online system. Despite typical consequences for violence (automatic suspension), the department head, a drinking buddy of the boy's parents, gave him only a single detention. Now, the department head is harassing me for reporting the incident. FML
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get the school administration involved - violence points to a larger issue, and that's not something you can deal with alone.

You should have subdued the little terrorist before tending to his victims. He's at least a second-generation bully. Hog-tie the little bastard and make his douchebag mother take him out like yesterday's trash.

I kicked someone in the stomach a long time ago and I'm not proud at all.

I once punched a kid in the stomach, but it was supposed to be a friendly punch. First, I accidentally punched harder than I meant to, and second, it was the largest kid in our class. (we were in pre-kindergarten, and he was about the size of a third or fourth-grader.)

This is plain rediculous. Parents need to learn how to take care of their own damn children and not blame everyone else for their child acting this way. While at the same time, most parents are afraid to punish their children now in the US. Why? Because they had to pass a law that hitting your child, even spanking their ass, can land you in jail. This allows every damn kid to think they can do whatever the **** they want and get away with it.

Well I guess we know why Junior thinks he can run the show. I hate parents who never stop making excuses for their children's poor behavior. In my days (and I'm 24) when I got into trouble at school I got into trouble at home. And when I complained about the punishment, I got the following: "Well, maybe you should have thought about that when you decided to do (insert childhood mischief here)." It helped me learn that actions have consequences. If we don't teach kids that in the (relatively) controlled environments of our homes and schools, what are they going to do when they have to deal with the real world?
