Today, I took my child to the park. Having been there an hour, another mum came up to me and we started talking. She then told me that one kid had been harassing her children, pointing to my child. When she asked which one was mine I pointed to a random kid. It was hers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I went to a park and sat down next to this older lady. Some kids started fighting and screaming at each other, so I leaned next to her and said, "Man, am I glad those aren't MY kids." She turned to me and said, "Yeah, they're mine." FML
Today, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. FML
Today, at the park, I saw my toddler fall. I rushed over, picked him up, and said, “It’s OK, Mum’s here.” He looked confused. So did his real mum. I had mistakenly grabbed a random child instead of my own in front of everyone. They weren't even wearing similar clothes. FML
Today, I took my son to the playground and watched him have fun. Minutes later, I was being shoved around and called a pedophile because I was there alone with no wife. By the time I convinced them I was innocent, my son was bawling. FML
Today, while at the park, my 3 year-old ran up to a lady, grabbed her chest and loudly asked, "Are these your breasts? Are they private on you too?" FML
Today, I was at our local park and saw what I thought was my sister holding her baby. I walked up behind her, kissed her on the head, and said, “You’re such a good mum.” It was very much not my sister. It was a very confused and now probably traumatised stranger. FML
Today, at the park, a woman asked if I could watch her toddler for a second while she ran to the bathroom. Before I could answer, she ran off. Ten minutes later, a police officer approached me because someone reported a "man lurking with a child." I’m a woman. And not the babysitter. FML
Today, at the mall, I ran into a lost, crying little girl. It was my best friend's daughter. She recognized and clung on to me. As I called her dad, some nosy lady snatched her from me and caused a scene, screaming, "KIDNAPPER!" As I got apprehended, her claim was she heard me say, "If you still want to see her…" FML
Today, I was at the park with my autistic son when I noticed a teenage girl imitating him by flapping her hands and walking on her toes. Fed up with children mocking my son, I went over and sternly lectured the girl's mother. Turns out, her daughter is autistic too and will be in my son's class. FML

Or said, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

Or you could say "I don't know, I haven't picked one out yet."

Exactly what I was thinking. OP, why don't you actually do some parenting and discipline your child? You actually look worse now than if you had copped to it. Next time, say "That's my kid. Don't worry, I'll take care of it." In conclusion, YDI.

Well judging by the fact op's child is a bully she probably isn't the world's best parent as just shown. YDI, although its pretty funny.. Must of burned.

Could not be more true. ^^

She was probably on her phone or something. I don't know who is worse walking around with their faces glued to the phone screen, the thirteen year old or the moms. I see it everyday, kids running around my shop like maniacs and mom busy texting on her phone.

Sometimes it's all three, 13 year old mom with her face glued to her phone

That's not cool, OP. You need to take responsibility of your children.

Hahaha be afraid, be very afraid

Your kid is the playground bully. Better put a stop to that while they are young.

Maybe instead of trying to save your dignity, you should have apologized and taught you're child not to harass other kids. YDI

There's no shame in teaching your kid that there doing something wrong. OP wouldn't be sacrificing any dignity if she took responsibility.

Actually if she went up to her kid and handled the situation well, she would probably gain respect if anything.

your* But I agree with what you're saying.

At least take responsibility for your child. YDI for trying to pretend there wasn't a problem.

Sounds very responsibly to hide from fault. Maybe he needs more attention from you which is probably why you didn't notice him bullying other kids.

I see where you're coming from OP, nobody wants to be hit by the wrath of an angry mother. If it was something serious, talk to your kid.
