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

I don't understand why parents avoid dealing with situations like this. It's part of parenting. Everyone knows avoiding problems make them bigger. If OP just got off their ass and dealt with the problem right away the problem would have been corrected. That's not even mentioning how disgusting it is to lie about what child is yours. If you are that ashamed of your child or their actions then you need to figure shit out real fast and quit taking the lazy way. Kids are always watching and listening great example OP.

I'm a parent, I know when to deal with my son. He likes to do things that aren't right. I have to correct him. He needs to know wrong from right. That's what's wrong with parents today. They don't know how to take responsibility.

I have two kids one boy an one girl. They've made mistakes every kid does but at the end of the day it's our responsibility to teach right and wrong. A lot of parents mistake is ignoring the children's mistakes and accomplishments if you don't make a big deal and show them the difference in how it effects them then how do they know. I saw a mom once completely ignoring her son who looked to be around four, we were evacuated due to a close fire. He wanted his food opened and she kept playing on her phone. He ended up hitting her with the jar of baby food, yes I just said he was around four years old and he had baby food. When he hit her all she said was mommy is trying to find out how to bottle break you shut up for give minutes and you will get your food. After that complained she doesn't know why he's so out of control. I know it's easier for an outsider to see the problem but when did it become okay to ignore our children for cell phones or not discipline for hitting or to have a four year old still on a baby bottle and jar baby food.

I agree with everything but just to point out one thing, my son is five and can only have baby formula due to a medical condition

lol that reminds me of that FRIENDS episode where Ross still goes to his pediatrician and says this random kid is his because he is embarrassed and its her kid. Major awkwardness. FYL

That's what you get for trying to take the blame off of your child and lying, OP.

Newsflash: this kind of thing comes with being a mother. If you can't take it, you should've used a condom.

My parents used a condom, but I broke right through it.

You need to discourage your child from behavior like that now, while he/she is young. What may seem harmless now can turn into serious bullying behavior later. Bullying has become a serious issue that needs to be addressed with young children so it effectively gets stopped before it starts.

You're responsible for your kids actions. You should've apologized and let her see you telling your kid that doing that isn't okay. You deserved it.

Be a parent and teach your kid what is and is not acceptable behavior. If they're too young to understand words, find another teaching tool (though still at least try the words first). There is no avoiding responsibility for what you bring into this world. Parents who don't understand that are part of the reason this world is in the state that it is.
