Today, I had to forcibly separate a boy from my daughter after he grabbed her and started shoving her around. I complained to his mother, only to have her shout, "mind your fucking business" and say that her son can do whatever the hell he wants. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
The Headmaster Ritual
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Straight to jail
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Back-seat parenting
Today, I yelled at my oldest son for picking his little brother up by the throat. Only to then be yelled at my my mother-in-law for hurting his feelings. FML
Mommy issues
Today, both of my daughters were having an argument because my youngest has decided that she doesn't want kids. I defended her decision and my oldest daughter told me to STFU and called me a hypocrite. I slapped her across the face for her disrespect and now she's threatening to press charges. FML
Fight Club Penguin
Today, I punched an older woman in the face. I only hit her after she grabbed my 4-year-old daughter and told her to, "stop dancing like a whore!" My daughter was so terrified, she peed her pants. FML
Stranger danger
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
Today, my daughter is still acting out her teenage issues. This morning, when I told her to, "Have a nice day" she screamed at me, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" FML
Kids will be kids
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML
Brat winter
Today, my girlfriend's kid was acting silly and cutting up in a busy parking lot. I saw a car coming towards him and yanked him to my side. He started crying and my girlfriend screamed at me for "being mean" to him. I should have let the brat get hit, I guess. If this is the stepdad life, fuck it, I'm out. FML
Fighting fit
Today, my son was getting jumped by four boys. My daughter came outta nowhere like freakin John Cena and started rag dolling those little punks. Instead of being thankful and grateful that his sister saved his ass, he decided to complain that she made him look like weak. FML

And this is how we end up with rapists

I'd teach my daughter to hit back at anyone who treated her like that.

Yep. There's a word for women like that... it's called "****. "

Should of beat the crap out of her.

I normally want to rip my eyes out at the sight of that word, but it only seems appropriate

No this is how we end up with asshole men. Which has known to be the 'typical' guy. Mind the fact there's only a handful of decent guys. Kids like him are the ones that give us a bad reputation..
redreynard 14
Just because you happen to be a guy doesn't mean you can generalize about the rest of us. In my experience, there are just as many shitty people in the female population as there are in the male population.

I hate to bring gender into this, but it's sad that we live in a world where "rape defense classes" exist for girls, but there are no "don't abuse girls" classes for boys. Now I'm not saying that every boy is a potential rapist. Of course not! There are plenty of asshole guys on this planet, just like there are plenty of asshole girls too. But there are so many people who have a "boys will be boys" mentality when boys (and men) do things like manhandling or harassing a girl. Unfortunately the parent in the FML is a good example of this...too many kids grow up simply not understanding proper boundaries. It's a shame it's the girls who are taught to "defend" themselves against it, and the guys aren't taught not to do it to begin with.
ClassyCommando 13
That's what's called a strawman argument. In Western society, I've never heard of anyone using the "boys will be boys" argued when talking about women being abused. Also, there are classes where children are told about abusive relationships and such; we have such classes at my school. The classes are not specifically targeted towards boys. Instead, boys and girls are taught about abuse, which is as it should be.
A7XCamaro 19
90 - There shouldn't need to be don't abuse girls classes and even if they did have them, unless they somehow made them mandatory, only people who wouldn't touch a girl that way would take the class. I just cannot picture a person that would abuse/rape someone think to themselves "I should really take a class to teach me how to stop doing these things".

#55- Totally with you! I normally HATE that word, but it only seems appropriate in this situation!
allmidnighteyes 11
The whole "boys will be boys" thing is ALWAYS used to defend boys' actions from a young age. A boy is pushing or teasing a girl? He likes her and boys will be boys. He's being mean? Oh, boys will be boys. Women are taught that for a good portion of their life, that boys teasing them, not backing off and respecting them, and other things on that level are just boys being boys and that they just do it to show that they like them. Only when they get to the age where those actions could be interpreted as harassment do people cease to stop using that phrase.
ClassyCommando 13
133- What, so boys aren't allowed to push or tease girls now? There's a reason the "boys will be boys" argument is used in those situations: because it's just boys being boys. They also push and tease other boys, so why should girls get special treatment? What you're saying does not sound like equality, it sounds like chivalry.
Sir_Swaggington 6
The only thing worse than justifying abuse with the "boys will be boys" mentality, is the "it was all the woman's fault" mentality.

What is our world turning into?

141, what's wrong with chivalry? I think it's cute. Much better than 'boys being boys,' anyway.

What's wrong with that word... It me fave
rawr_ily96 24
I'm lucky my boyfriend was raised to respect women. He won't even kiss me without asking first, though I've told him a hundred times he doesn't have to ask. That's because he doesn't want me to be uncomfortable. He is a perfect example of how a boy should be raised. I wish all men were like him. Maybe then my best friend wouldn't have a psycho-ex-stalker-rapist.

I'd teach my daughter to hit back at anyone who treated her like that.
MrSassypants 34
That should be an OP's excuse when OP's daughter gives the lady's son a kick in the groin. "She can do whatever she wants to. "
RS808 6
Yup. Self defense in full effect here. With the ability to throw back the same line she gave him.

#2 who would expect a child to do that though?

That is why I am glad my dad made me take martial arts since I was 4.
MsMourningStar 22
#35 actually a lot of parents teach their children self defense and to hit back if someone hits you. My mother in law taught my husband to punch when he was three years old. And I plan to do the same thing with our kids.
kd1373 19
I see your reference there. :)
DogsPaw 16
When I was young my mom said, "If someone hits you, hit them back. I don't care if it will get you in trouble. " I have yet to see if she really meant that or not.
ClassyCommando 13
I was told the same thing by my parents. Unfortunately for me, I was not a good fighter, and I got my weak ass handed to me.
emilyjgraham 34
I don't encourage violence, but my parents are the same with the "if they hit you, hit them back argument". Especially with my brother, he used to get bullied, but my mum always said "don't throw the first punch, wait for it, then smack them. " We knew he had it in him because we used to beat the shit out of each other and he got the chance one day, let's just say the bullies didn't pick on him again! Self defense is an excellent skill to have!
pinkduc2 12
She definitely would've had every right to beat the snot out of that kid.
DogsPaw 16
Take the verbal abuse then when they throw the first punch you get the self defense card.
pent_up_rage666 7
I hate woman beaters, but I also hate women that are violent towards men because they feel men can't hit them back, the fact that someone is born with a ****** shouldn't give them the right to special treatment, it's called gender EQUALITY for a reason...
lorraineald 7
In high school my brother was being harassed by one kid and one day the kid got a little physical so my brother restrained him. My brother wound up getting suspended for that. At schools nowadays it doesn't matter if it's self defense, they just expect the kid to sit there and take the beating. It's retarded that schools are discouraging kids from protecting themselves.
greengreengreen 13
#35, yes because kids can be cruel sometimes
Welshite 40
She is your daughter, and your responsibility to protect. Honestly, you showed remarkable restraint.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Teach your daughter how to uppercut.
loulumpkin 8
I would have killed the boy. And his horrible mother. Go you for showing better restraint than I would.
zinoxity 23
I would have cuntpunted that lady if that was my daughter.
cuppycakeslove 20
That woman deserves a beating.
ocramavaf 15
easy there tiger, woman may be a bit of a **** but no point in getting into assault charges, although to be fair I would have reacted in much the same way.
DogsPaw 16
TBH if I was a mom and someone was pushing my kid around while the mother told me to mind my ******* business all hell would break loose.
bigtaytay 13
Terrible parenting. That's a damn shame

I hope when in a parent I will teach my child civil rights and to not he a ******* complete ass hat.
bobbybill0519 7
I would've beat the shit out of the kid.
Stardew 19
I think this is a part of what's wrong with kids today. No one enforces rules, kids aren't taught respect and they're handed everything. This boy will grow up to be a horrible person.
KiddNYC1O 22
At least we know his mom is already horrible. Can't even be excused if she's having a shitty day.
Achall91 17
He already sounds like a horrible person...
spaboolly 26
No... not "part of" what's wrong with kids. That is exactly the cause of rude, undisciplined children (and adults) who think the world is their playground and everything in it is theirs to play with.
NostalgiaFreak9 43
She was probably raised that way herself. So it's not just a "kids today" thing.

I've heard kids will be kids but this is a bit too far.
emmaa3451 11
This is the time where we teach your daughter the ever so helpful "kick in the balls" technique :D
gracehi 33
Actually, men tend to keep their groin well guarded when in a physical confrontation. Self defense experts say it's better to stomp on his foot, thrust the heel of your hand upward into his nose (thus breaking it), or slap his ear with an open palm. If you do choose to go for the groin, you should knee him, not kick him, because kneeing is a faster motion which requires a tighter space, and so is harder to guard against than a kick. That one was free, ladies. :D
pheebs314 17
Be careful with nose breaking as it tends to numb the face fairly quickly. Poke him in the eyes!!!
Sir_Swaggington 6
When I was younger my mom always told me that if I was manhandled or about to be abucted, etc. to grab his genitals then twist and pull like I'm trying to open a stuck door. So many self defense methods lol
MikeFoxtrot01594 11
#9 It should be more like the rip off balls technique.

Jesus... Is this what parenting has come too? Would any of you here on fml be generous enough to shoot me in the face?

BANG! There shot you in the face.

Now the other one.

I can't do that, but I can slap you in the face with a condom.

I won't shoot you, but I'll track that mother and shoot her.
