Today, following a 6-hour roundtrip after having lost both games from a baseball doubleheader, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my 4-year-old son was still up. After updating him on the day's results, he went off to bed with the words, "Good night, loser." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in the middle of an argument with my wife, our autistic son started calling out tennis scores, which turned out to be his way of keeping score of who was winning the argument. Apparently, by the end, it was 40-love approaching server's deuce point, which I think means I lost the argument badly. FML
Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML
Today, I was having trouble sleeping due to jet lag. I was finally sleepy and looking forward to a decent night of rest when my 4 year-old woke up and refused to stay in his room or try to rest. The next two hours involved him shouting at me, kicking me, and crying because he wanted Daddy, who is on a business trip. FML
Today, after twelve straight hours of work, my fourteen year old son surprised me with a broken window and a cracked TV. He said, "I was swatting away a fly." FML
Today, my 7-year-old son proudly announced that he had laid an egg during the night. I checked. He'd simply shat the bed. FML
Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML
Today, for the fourth day in a row, my nine year-old son dragged his feet when it’s bedtime with any excuse he can come up with. He keeps getting up an hour later to tell me a story. No punishment, nothing works. I gave up and offered him $300, yes $300 cash, to go to sleep. He said no and ran to bed crying, saying I upset him. FML
Today, after my 14 year-old son brought home six Fs on his report card, we decided to take away all his video games and sell them. He screamed for hours, then went into the kitchen and started smashing glasses against his head, "until we brought back his games." FML
Today, my son displayed an interest in chess, and asked me to teach him to play. Five minutes in, I captured his queen. He screamed "SCREW THIS STUPID GAME", slammed his fist down on his pieces, and started crying because of the pain. He's fourteen years-old. FML
Today, I picked up my four year old son from daycare. As I was putting him in his car seat, I asked him if he had fun. He yelled, "Shut it, bitch!" FML

You need to teach him some manners.

Perhaps he did not have any ill intent but was merely being truthful. Or he was just being a little arse. Either way FYL.

Can someone reword this for me? I probably sound stupid for asking but the way he set this FML up is confusing.

I'm not big on sports but I'll try to decide it. OP plays baseball, sounds like in a recreational league, drove three hours out of town to play in two games, back to back. OP's team lost both games, OP drove three more hours, apparently somewhat late at night, to get back home. OP's young son was still awake, and after conversation referred to OP as "loser" on the way to bed.

What a little ass. You need to put a stop to that. Young he might be, but if he thinks he can talk to his parents that way, he'll be worse wth strangers.

Just saying it's a good story when he gets married.

Remind him losing is better than quitting.

Well maybe he is teaching him to be frank upfront and honest. He is a man who lost twice thus making him a loser. My kid calls me a trucker it takes all kinds to go around.

If he meant "loser" as in "pathetic", what a little shit. If he meant "loser" in the sense that you had lost your baseball games, then... Perhaps it's a correctable word choice? I don't know, either way he needs a talking to!

I don't get why it's illegal to duct tape children to walls for being assholes.
