Today, I found out that my daughter has been watching Supernatural and The X-Files so she'll fit in better at school. I'm not even angry that she's suddenly a brain-dead conformist, it's just that she now has nightmares all the time and insists on sleeping in my bed. She's a kicker. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, thanks to my wife, our 11 year-old daughter is completely obsessed with serial killers, cults, and true crime. My wife thinks it’s funny and harmless; meanwhile I’m legitimately worried about our child’s mental health. FML
Today, I had to pick my daughter up from pre-school because she repeatedly hit another kid with a stick. Apparently, my parents have been letting her watch violent action movies again. FML
Today, my daughter was acting strange. When she wasn’t muttering in some strange language, she was talking about invisible people coming to get me. Terrified, I called my boyfriend. Turns out he taught her that as a prank. He knows I’m afraid of anything supernatural. FML
Today, my daughter turned Emo. FML
Today, I discovered that for the last six months my mother has been leaving my TV on FOX while I sleep, in the hope that my subconscious will absorb it and turn me into "a morally-upright human being". FML
Today, my daughter hugged me around the neck and whispered, "I'm going to cut your head off." I'm afraid to go to sleep now. FML
Today, I walked in on my daughter hugging and sobbing into her Edward Cullen cut-out. She won't tell me what's wrong, yet she can confide in a creepy fictional stalker whose facial expression is locked to "chronically constipated". Where did I go wrong? FML
Today, I was doing my nightly check of my daughter's phone since a recent stint in the psych hospital, and saw that she had fallen into a peaceful sleep to watching videos on a website dedicated to watching people die. FML
Today, my parents watched a horror movie with some creepy child in it. Apparently, I sound just like that kid when I call for my mom, so now she doesn't want me to call her mom anymore. FML
Today, my daughter’s sleepwalking has been so bad that none of us has slept more than a few hours a night in weeks. We took her to a pediatrician, who referred her to a sleep clinic for children that has no openings for 6 months. My boyfriend is convinced my house is haunted, scaring the other kids. FML

I don't blame her for watching Supernatural. Jensen Ackles is HOT.

At least you didn't catch her listening to One Direction and Justin Bieber, and reading Twilight.That's the ultimate level of brain-dead.

Oh hey there 164, actually I'm not a stalker, just wondering. But I'm sure itskaylabitch will not feel concerned for her safety when she sees your sudden interest in calling someone who was just asking her a question, a stalker. She won't be feeling odd about that. Not at all.

I'm surprised X-files is considered "cool" again. I used to love that show when I was younger, but barely anyone at my school even watched it.

I once tried to sleep after an Alfred Hitchcock marathon. Alone. At night. Could not.

Supernatural men are the sex I tell you. I don't blame your daughter.

Supernatural is amazing! How she's getting nightmares from it is understandable, my cousin is younger and fears it. I for one am old enough to not get freaked by it, I love it! I've been watching since season one!

What's wrong with Supernatural? I think it's a good show.

"brain dead conformist". You sound like a wonderful parent.

Those shows aren't what the popular people are watching and X-Files has been canceled for several years. More likely, her group of friends recommended them to her. That's a fairly small bit of conformity to a small group of friends, not really mindless conformity. I'm sure everyone's taken their friend's recommendations on something. Also, both those shows have decent plots and writing that require at least some mental attention. Now, if she suddenly starts liking Twilight or Justin Beiber because her friends like him, you actually have a problem with her being a mindless conformist.
