Today, I discovered that my daughter refuses to eat, but not because she's anorexic. Apparently, her health class has learned about the digestive system and now she refuses to "take part in something so gross." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter complained that she no longer wanted to talk about poop, as it grosses her out. This is a girl who can eat a rare steak while watching a guy’s arms get hacked off on TV, but poop is where she draws the line. FML
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, my daughter expressed wanting to lose weight so I took her to a licensed dietician nutritionist to get her a healthy eating plan, and even made her an appointment with a personal trainer to get her on track. I walked in on her eating a whole box of laxatives, because "this way is faster." FML
Today, the kids in my 6 year-old daughter’s class were asked what they feared the most. My daughter’s worst fear is apparently not werewolves, sharks, monsters or clowns. Nope, it’s "Eating food I don’t like." 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 got a call from my daughter's school. Apparently, she was learning about the food pyramid and when she was asked to identify what she had eaten the day before, she said "dog food". FML
Today, my teacher was talking about anorexia and bulimia. Midway through the lesson, she stopped and knowingly asked if I wanted to share my experiences with the class. I don't have an eating disorder, just a screwed-up metabolism. FML
Today, I found out that my overweight daughter’s teacher starved her during a pizza party. She made her wait an hour until the entire class got a slice and their seconds. When it was her turn, there was only one tiny slice. According to her, she, “looks like she hasn’t missed a meal, she’ll be alright.” FML
Today, my daughter came home from school crying hysterically. Apparently, her teacher is a vegan douchebag who told the whole class, "If your family eats meat, they're eating your future!" Now she screams when we eat meat. FML
Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take her to Africa and show her the people who got died from starvation. You can do some education to, mother.

But does mother require education done to her?* *Yes, I know about the comma.

To #13, What the hell were you trying to tell us? Sincerely, The confused people in the front row.

13 I think is trying to say take her daughter to Africa and show her what happens to people when they starve to death.

You can also show her pictures of starving people from the Holocaust... If you can't afford that trip to Africa...

she'll get over it when she starts refusing to take a shit for the same reason: the pain of holding back a protein submarine ready to be sunk is horrendous.

LOL, that one made me laugh :D

I felt that pain before. It's like none other I've felt before, and I've had a hole torn in my leg by a rusted nail.

Tell her about her hands, and how disgusting they are by the end of the day by everything she touches. Not even soap can get them fully clean. If that doesn't work, just keep reminding her how she can't have anymore candy, chocolate, etcetera. Kids like that stuff, right?

And what would that accomplish? Scaring your children won't snap them out of it, no matter how ridiculous their fears can sound. When I was little, my dad told me about parasites that live on your eyelashes and I still get freaked out about it.

Maybe I should have been more clear on my sarcasm, but I figured "Kids like that stuff, right?" was clue enough.

Scands_59 14

She lives in Hawaii and she refuses to eat?!? I would love to be eating at a Hawaiian luau buffet right now...juicy roasted pork, succulent pineapples, chocolate covered macadamia nuts...*drools*
wittygirl 8
Omg you made me hungry!!! You didn't mention spam sushi either xD
br0ccoli 15
I've never been to Hawaii so I was just imagining what would be at the buffet. Omg spam sushi. Mmm ...I heard they put a fried egg on top of a steak for breakfast. That's my kind of meal!

If she JUST learned about the digestive system, I assume she's only in grade school. Children have had crazier ideas, OP. Up to you to tell her about the facts of life and the human body.
BountyBass 13
It is pretty yuckie:(

At least her digestive system works, mine doesn't work very well, so she's lucky that hers does!

She'll get Hungry soon enough.
VasilisaUzhasnaj 29
