Today, as revenge for being grounded for bullying a kid at school, my eight-year-old son flung a handful of Lego into my path as I walked barefoot into the kitchen. I'm still in pain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the kids I babysit hid from me. While I was looking for them, I stepped on multiple strategically-placed Lego bricks. When I yelped from the pain, the kids jumped out and threw soccer balls in my face. FML
Today, right after preparing a gourmet plate of dry-aged steak with freshly cooked mashed potatoes, I stepped on my son's Lego and dropped my plate. I stood there for 5 minutes, crying. FML
Today, I grounded my son after finding out that he's been bullying other kids at school. He got mad and screamed at me, calling me a "bastard". Instead of defending me, my wife got pissed and accused me of having taught our son to swear like that. I can never win. FML
Today, I slipped on my son's Hot Wheels cars and fell onto a building made out of Lego. I now have a fractured tailbone and a broken wrist. I called my husband to tell him what happened and all he could do was laugh. My son didn't leave them on the floor, my husband did. FML
Today, I jumped up to touch the ceiling, then I landed on one of my younger sibling's Lego. FML
Today, after being fed up with my sarcastic, mouthy daughter, I decided to remove her TV from her room. I dropped it on my foot and broke two toes. She promptly said, "That's what you get." FML
Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML
Today, I was having lunch and I started throwing crumbs at my friend at the other table. Then I accidentally hit the kid next to him. He got really mad and came over and hit me in the shoulder with a brick. A brick. He just had a brick in his bag. FML
Today, I came home to find my eight-year-old son had basically set fire to the kitchen, after trying to practice some kind of stupid shit he'd seen on TV called "fire bending." FML
Today, I had to take my son to hospital because he had two Lego pieces up his nose. He’s 19 and shoved them up there because he was drunk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The bullying problems are a direct result of how well you parent your child.

I may get downvoted for this. But punishing a kid isnt always a good way to resolve an issue. In fact it sparks the bully a hint of anger to spread out his anger upon other people, leading them down a longer and darker path. There might be needed more attention towards the child, ask him questions on why and how he can fix the situation. Extend the grounding just for trying to seek revenge. A good talming can go a long way!

If you don't punish a child, how is this said child not going to learn? That is basically giving them the green light to bully/cause more pain and they think it's okay.

Guess I'm the only one who studied Child Psychology.... :( Do what you must FML....Do what you must!

I understand what you're saying. I think there should be some punishment in that situation, but if they think there's an underlying issue they should seek help for that child, therapy or whatever is necessary. Unfortunately not all families have access to those resources so punishment is the only resource they have.

This is cruel... :( If this time you haven't maybe next time you should explain to him why he got the punishment and why was it wrong that he'd done, this may help him to think about what he did and not how to fight back.

seriously? stepping on leg is is not that painful, you sound like a freakun wuss by saying that they are sooo painful. try having glass cut through your toe to the bone or getting shot then we can discuss pain

Shut the **** up.

Judging my your grammar skills, you would up stepping in glass or getting shot. Seriously, go step on a ******* lego.

What you apparently don't understand is the long standing running joke about Legos. No, in the real world stepping on Legos isn't that terrible. But it's a meme and basically a joke that stepping on Legos is the seventh layer of Hell on the pain scale. Not trying to down play whatever injuries you've ever had but a sense of humor helps in this situation, and not taking things so literally.

Lucky he isn't my son, after bullying someone he would've already had gotten a spanking. There are kids commuting suicide over this. It's very serious. Not just a "phase" stop it while he's still young. Before your son stops somebody else child from err walking through the door again.

I use to never pick my Lego up and mum would always walk on it. She warned me that if I didn't pick it up so she would stop walking on it, then she would get rid of it! My mother, true to her word, stepped on another piece of Lego and grabbed all she could find, sat me at the door while she fired up the BBQ and burnt the whole lot while I watched! Need less to say, I never got Lego again, never left any more toys out, and I still haven't bought myself any Lego even to this day after that day. You know what you need to do with the Lego! The pain will go away then.

Double grounding. He needs some severe disciplining or he's going to grow up to be an asshole.
