Today, I realized I can't wait until my daughter moves out the house when she is 18. She's eight. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my mom can't wait until I turn 18, so she can kick me out and turn my room into a huge closet for all her clothes. FML
Today, my mom told me she can't wait for me to turn eighteen so she can turn my room into a place for her to display all her antique glass dolls. FML
Today, I realized my daughter has been in longer relationships than I have. FML
Today, I'm moving out of the house. My little sister can't wait and I've never seen my dad so happy. FML
Today, I realized that my 14 year-old runs my home. She has her own room, while her 11 year-old sister and I (her mother) share a room. I literally have to get her permission to go anywhere as well. FML
Today, at age eighteen, I finished moving out of my parents' house and into my own. The only person to even remotely give a shit was my sister, and that was only because I was taking the cat with me. FML
Today, I was forced to sit silently through my 20-year-old daughter's wedding to a man who is 8 years older than I am. FML
Today, and for the last few months, I finally have enough money to be able to move into my own place. I can finally have girls over. I am also at the age of 26, where most girls stop wanting to go over to a guy's house. I wish I was 18 again, when independence is seen as new and sexy. FML
Today, our youngest child finally moved out of our house. I went to embrace my wife and say something romantic about us growing old together, but she said, "Thank God they're gone, I can finally leave you." An hour later, she was gone too. FML
Today, my niece told me to go and find my own friends. She's 2, and I'm 18. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Calm down, she's just 8. Once she does move out you'll probably wish she was back. Let's hope she doesn't see her about this FML when she IS 18.

Cherish the moments you have with her when she gets older she could want nothing to do with you

My wife and I are right there with you. We love our kids but are very aware of them growing up and look forward to their success in life.

I think you're really brave to admit this. It doesn't mean you don't love and cherish her. I get it.

I found 8 to be a fun age with my daughter...now when she was in the "terrible two stage" that is a different story, I understood why some animals eat their own young.

I'm nineteen years old, if I some how found out that my mom publicly posted that she wanted me out as soon as possible and I was only eight at the time, I would be upset. I don't have kids myself but I understand being a parent is not easy in any aspect, but I don't think that means that you should wish your child away from you. I hope you treat your daughter well. Kids are more observant than you think. They absorb any kind of hostility or whatever attitude people project on them. That whole nature vs. nuture theory, it's powerful. Cherish your time with her. She's only eight, don't expect so much out of her. Children have no choice but to rely on their role models, and you better be a good one.

Wow... such a "loving" mother you are. Glad I'm not your kid.

that makes you sound like a terrible parent. i hope your daughter doesnt know you feel that way. parenthood is one of the most challenging things in life and if you thought it qould be easy you were sadly mistaken. mosy parents, apparently not including you, think its also the most wonderful joy in life, it is very surprising that you are pretty much saying you regret the decision to become a parent. unfortunately for your daughters sake you didnt realize this before you had her

then why did you have a kid? if you thought she'd be different then you're raising her wrong YDI.

Don't be too hard on yourself OP. Every Mom has a moment like that once in awhile. And the people who don't believe that either don't have kids or have very young kids.
