Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Nervous laughter
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

Today, my mum came to my ballet class. She spent the whole lesson sitting at the back yelling at me to, "Stop sticking your butt out!" My ballet instructor had to ask her several times to pipe down. FML

Stop that now
Today, I saw my 4 year-old daughter singing and dancing, so I decided to sing along. As soon as I started singing she said, without blinking her eyes and super calmly, "Could you please stop doing that?" FML

He doesn't even go here!
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML

Today, I came home from work to my 4-year old daughter cussing left and right. I asked her about it; she said that her brother had taught her some words. When I confronted him about the situation, he kicked my shin and screamed, "Stop treating me like a fucking child!" He's 5. FML

Today, I punched an older woman in the face. I only hit her after she grabbed my 4-year-old daughter and told her to, "stop dancing like a whore!" My daughter was so terrified, she peed her pants. FML

Today, I overheard my 5 year old daughter call a girl in her dance class a slut. Shocked, I asked her where she heard that word. Her response: "I heard you and Daddy say it about her Mommy." FML

Today, I did my old "toe-touch" cheerleading move to try to impress my 5-year-old daughter. When I landed, I broke my toe. FML

What a horrible thing to do to a child. I hope she doesn't let this discourage her.

Well that's the teacher fault for not teaching her right

How do you now the teacher didn't teach her right? OP's daughter is 5, she could have made a few mistakes, and that is not the teachers fault.

If they were other kids, I could understand, since other kids are just jerks like that, but adults?

No class right there at all

Awww, poor kid! I wonder why the hell they did that, mistake or not... FYL OP, and FHL.

I hope the teacher ejected everyone who booed. That's just evil. It's miserable if it happens to adult performers who can possibly salvage some of their self esteem, but five year olds? They do what they learn, they frequently view themselves in the ways that they perceive others view them.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. 5 is far too young to get that kind of crap from adults. If the instructor in charge didn't remove them, I say you remove your daughter from that class. There are better places for her to learn I'm sure.

On the bright side - that's a great opportunity to teach the kid how to properly handle criticism. It'll only get worse when she grows up...
