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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Ydi for letting him have your info on file... Such a selfish little brat shouldn't even have the privilege of owning a device like that...

I hope you mean HE'S been charged $600. Make him pay for it with more chores. You probably don't make him do chores anyway. Or at least take his iPod.

You can get a refund on the apps. Go into your purchase history on iTunes and you can "report a problem" I believe. If you explain the problem, apple will probably refund it.

You take his iPod and other expensive things, and pawn them in till he pays you back. That will teach him.

ever heard of actually disciplining him by taking away the iPod until he settles down? or maybe he's doing it out of frustration because you're doing something wrong? just sayin'.

Yes, te thing he believes his mother is doing wrong is sending him to his room... so of course he's right to spend half a month rent on apps. I swear children are getting dumber.

Back in my day when I was grounded and sent to my room my mother would come upstairs and take the key wires to my SNES. She wouldn't bother with the TV because I'd need to keep it on silent in order to watch as if she heard it I was pretty much F*cked. I don't know what went wrong along the way but it seems like parents have for some reason decided a good ol' grounding is too rough/inhumane for their kids. . .And that is why kids these days are completely unruly. You deserve it, frankly, for not being stern with your kids - There is no discipline that way - Sending a kid to their room is one of the best things a kid can hope for if you don't take away their electronics because that's where all their fun stuff is usually. Frankly, if your son is purchashing IPOD apps to get back at you [first of all, take away your CC from his Apple Account, or parental controls] the first thing I would have done is take the damn thing away for a week or two. . .Happens 2-3 times?. . .Sell the damn thing to teach him a lesson. Kids need to be held accountable because in the real world they're accountable, they need to learn this quickly or they won't function in life.

Obviously you need to take away the damn iPod! Your son obviously doesnt respect you if he thinks this is funny, especially since you made it seem that he has done this more than once. Next time you send him to his room Take away all his 'Toys'.......seems like thats the prob with kids.....they have so much that the minor punishments are nothing to them. You can bet he also has a computer, tv, dvd player, and tons of other electronics in his room. As far as the $600 bill goes, hope you make him work it off. I would have him scrub floors and clean every crevice of my house to pay me back, unless he could get a job.
