Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 6-year-old daughter threw a tantrum in the middle of a store, all because I wouldn't buy her a pushup bra. FML
Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, the cops were called to my apartment because my daughter had a temper tantrum while I was at work. She was naked when they were there. FML
Today, the bus came to pick up my daughter to take her to kindergarten. When it honked, I opened the door for her to let her run out to it. Halfway there, she tripped and started crying. I couldn't run out because I was still in my underwear. Now her bus thinks I'm the worst mom ever. FML
Today, my mother threatened me if I keep wearing yoga pants to school, she's going to have my dad pick me up in a speedo. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, after it appeared my daughter was throwing away any vegetables in her school lunch, I packed her all vegetables so she would have to eat at least one. Nope! She threw them out and complained to school that "mommy doesn't feed" her. I got a call from the school. FML
Today, I learned from my daughter's teacher that she has been wearing the same shirt for the past few weeks, ever since we had a fight about how I don't pay attention to her. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with a girl at school. My mom and dad decided to punish me by letting my three older brothers pick out my wardrobe for the next week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

never threaten a child with a punishment you are not prepared to follow through on. it can too easily go wrong. sorry OP, she called your bluff. maybe it's time the young 'un got a job and bought her own clothes.

For people confused: It's from UK, so it's about a school uniform. However, there's often minor amounts of flexibility; a black or navy jumper, for example. Schools are cruel, and to not be a social outcast, you *must* be wearing the 'right' colour. To make it more confusing, the 'right' colour can change every few years or so. For example, when I started school, the girls made it so that they all 'had' to be wearing black tights, then a year or two later, they all 'had' to be wearing skin-coloured tights. Black and skin-coloured tights, and white socks, were all in the uniform policy, but it was social suicide to contravene the acceptable option.

I'm not going to say YDI for giving her the option because parents do that so that the child has no choice. When I was younger and didn't like my dinner I'd be told to eat or go hungry. If I had a tantrum while we were out I'd hear behave yourself or walk home. Stuff like that, and it worked. This kid obviously felt like proving her point about the clothes in a very immature way. But seeing as I went to school in England until I was 7, I can understand why OP's daughter didn't want to wear the uniform. They can be gross. Mine luckily weren't that bad (reddish brown blazer, white knee socks, white shirt, grey pleated dress/skirt with a tie to match the blazer, and in the summer girls wore a pink and white checkered dress) but I realise that some are truly hideous. The two main reasons schools in the UK have uniforms is so that you can identify a child in the street before/after school (if they're getting into trouble for example), and so that no one is making fun of one another for how they're dressed, because everybody looks the same.

That's your fault. You are the parent you don't give options.

Maybe she was trying to avoid being bullied/humiliated at school. Its amazing how early children are starting to care what they look like and who their friends are; when I was in elementary school I could have cared less what I looked like (maybe I was just oblivious to everyone else). In high school I attended a private k-12 school and believe me, uniforms can fit in many,many unflattering ways, return the clothes and bring her with you to get the "cool" stuff. Also, a child that defiant needs a stricter environment with follow through. Yes, you gave her the option (which was wrong), but what kid would rather go outside naked than put on some ugly clothes.... a spoiled brat.

Pfft, haha. Your daughter has balls if she's willing to go out buck-ass nude to prove a point about how horrible her clothes are. XD YDI, OP, for using sarcasm in that situation.
