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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

I don't think it is a meme so much as a type of fanfiction, though for all I know it could be both.

Get her into Doctor Who? It'll make her less scared because the Doctor is there to save people most of the time. But it'll probably make her scared of stone angels, turning left, and cracks in the walls. It'll work out for you, too. Matt Smith is so adorable

I can tell you right now from personal experience that you need to talk to your daughter about the 'fitting in' problem. Up until I was around 9, I lied to others about what I liked to eat, drink, watch, opinions and thoughts on things and a few others because I wanted to fit in better. Thankfully, my mother told me that it was okay to like things that I like, even if no one else did. Down the line, I made friends who like the same things as me and was far less miserable because of it. If she has issues with making friends at school, have you considered looking into activities or volunteer things for her age group?

Sadly many people are idjits and still don't know about it.

I watched Buffy when I was in elementary school, and I watch Supernatural now. If she wants to watch Supernatural, it's no where near as bad as Buffy was. Besides, it's probably the best show ever anyway.

I don't get it, are current shows not good enough? I dont think I ever heard any of those shows mentioned when I was in school.
