Today, I found out that whenever I send my son to his room, he goes on his iPod and buys the most expensive apps he can find. So far I've been charged $600. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my dad bought an iPhone. I've spent the better part of the last six months teaching him how to check his email and online newspapers. FML
Today, I found my son's iPod touch and was looking at a light-saber app. He walked into the living room to see me fighting the cat and making sound effects to myself. FML
Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML
Today, my six year-old son maxed my credit card on Robux. FML
Today, I found out that my 14-year-old son spent hundreds of dollars on what appears to be a misogynist multi-level marketing hustlers' website. How did he pay for this horseshit, and how did I found out? My PayPal account sent me emails, telling me that several purchases had been made, but too late for me stop them. FML
Today, I told my son if he wanted the new internet password he had to clean his room. I then caught him disconnecting my laptop from the internet. Turns out he changed the password months ago and now if I want the new password he wants £50. I ended up paying. I'm actually proud of the sneaky sod. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my son and unbeknownst to me, he had secretly added a bunch of expensive games he wanted to the trolley. I was too embarrassed at the till to make a fuss as there was a huge line behind me. I watched as my normal £50 shopping bill climbed to over £400. FML
Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him. FML
Today, I found out that my mom has linked my iPhone with her iPad and has been secretly reading my texts. FML
Today, my son got an email saying he could win an iPad if he just entered his credit card number. He asked for mine, telling me that it was so he could buy some school supplies online, so I gave it to him. The internet just conned a credit card number out of a 17-year-old nitwit. And me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well take his ipod and don't give him any money till the 600$ are paid off. Can parents not raise their children anymore, that's just sad.

how about keep an eye on your kids and money. and if he's that type of child, why would u let him have credit card access? it's not rocket science

Take he iPod away and make his sorry arse pay foe every one of them. Suggest you look into Love and Logic before he beats you up or worse.

He pays the bill and that's when he gets the phone back, with prepaid credit (limited) and a changed App Store password only you know.

Quit with electronics and Send your kid outside to play, or put your child in sports!! they run off energy so you don't get annoyed and they get in less trouble.

Your first mistake was letting your son have an iPad (Unless he purchased it with is own money). Your second mistake was letting him have anything when your sending him to his room. If he has things in his room that can't be easily taken away (such as a stereo, tv, or computer [which he shouldn't have a tv or computer in his room anyway]) send him somewhere else, like the kitchen/dining room table. Other options are to give him chores to do, that he has to complete to your satisfaction or he gets other chores. If you don't have chores that need done, make him dig a 1'x1'x1' hole in a specific part of your yard with only a little garden trowel.

What kind of parent are you!?!? When I get in trouble my parents send me to my room with no electronics, leave my door open, and make me sit on my bed with my face down so I can't see or speak. if I spend even a dollar of money from their credit cards I have to pay them bak and in the mean time I would have a bed with sheets a blanket and pillows.That's it. I am too young to work and would be expected to sell something/do extra chores. I would only leave the house for school and if I was earning money! maybe if you were a better parent this wouldn't have happened to you.

pared/ par·ing Definition of PARE transitive verb 1: to trim off an outside, excess, or irregular part of 2: to diminish or reduce by or as if by paring — par·er noun How is that going to help? Seems like growing a PAIR might be a little more effective......
