Today, I found out why my five-year-old has been throwing tantrums while shopping. It turns out my ex-husband has been paying her three dollars for every public tantrum she throws. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 6-year-old daughter threw a tantrum in the middle of a store, all because I wouldn't buy her a pushup bra. FML

Today, while shopping, my six-year-old son threw a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him a video game. I ended up having to grab his arm and leave the store. He screamed that I was kidnapping him, at which point I was socked in the face and pinned to the floor by three bystanders. FML
Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML
Today, my daughter took her ex to court for child support. After the judge was done, she ended up having to pay support to him, and since she was the one who took him to court just for money, her ex now hates her and will make sure to collect every penny he’s owed, even though she only works part time. FML
Today, my year and a half old daughter has discovered the joy of temper tantrums. She is now throwing them constantly. Everywhere. Anytime. FML
Today, I learned that when my husband takes our son shopping and he acts up, my husband picks him up under his arm and carries him around, instead of talking to him and trying to calm or reason with him. I'm FURIOUS. FML
Today, my husband had a temper tantrum because I wouldn't get him a chocolate bar at the store register. FML
Today, my husband and I were fighting over money. As we were arguing, our 13 year-old daughter stole $250 dollars from my purse. FML
Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm shocked nobody suggested this yet: LET HER HAVE TANTRUMS. Don't punish her, take her out as often as you can, and let her have 10 tantrums a day. See if he can keep up.

Once again, someone picks an asshole to be their kids daddy and then complains that he's an asshole. Dicks like this don't become dicks overnight and actually were bigger dicks in the past. But you picked him. YDI.

We'd been together for over ten years and he wasn't an asshole. Actually, his change pretty much DID happen overnight, pretty much right after his best friend died. Maybe you shouldn't act like you know everything when you only know part of the story. ;)

OP, you should teach your daughter to use words such as "selfish, immature, childish, pathetic" ect, in conjunction with her father's name, in his presence. When he demands to know why his little girl called him childish, or immature, inform him that his little scheme is up. Also, inform him, that she is being punished, thanks to him, because he is teaching her naughty behaviour. If he is going to be a shitty parent, you are going to have to be twice the parent. Inform him you are not going to let him ruin the hard work you have put into making her a polite, mannerful little girl.
