Today, I was at the mall with my little brother. I saw him touching some expensive objects, so I slapped his arm. I noticed he wasn't my brother when he started crying and his real mom slapped me in the face. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the mall my brother and I went to look at a vendor's items when my mom said not to touch anything. Thinking my brother was standing next to me, I saw him touching stuff so I smacked him in the arm and told him to stop. I turn to see that the old lady to my side was giving me a mean look. FML
Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML
Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML
Today, I visited my family. Over the course of 2 hours, my brother punched me, and my mom slapped me across the face after drinking way too much wine. When I started gathering my things to leave, my mom started crying about how I don't visit enough. FML
Today, I smacked my kid on top of the head for spinning the display rack while I was looking at greeting cards. It wasn't until he dramatically screamed and dropped to the floor wailing that I realized he wasn't my daughter. FML
Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML
Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML

I like your approach of slap first, ask questions later. You would make a good pimp.

exacly my thoughts YDDI and to number 4 maby the kid deserved it too

sometimes little kids cry just out of being scared, welli would be scared too if some stranger hit me. and dpending on how old the OP was, the mother would be illigal for striking the minor YDI

Yep. You shouldn't hit anyone, not even your brother. You got what you deserved. Way to go, other-kid's mom!

Two options here: 1. Sue that Bitch. 2. Beat the **** out of her. She should have thanked you for making sure her brat didn't break something. Instead of watching her kid, sounds like she was either taking care of her shopoholic needs or sucking a ****.

Is "than" really all that hard to spell?

I don't think the OP deserved it. He was just trying to prevent someone who he thought was his brother from breaking anything. Also, chances are that the OP didn't really hit the kid's hand hard. It may have just been a stern pat to remind him to behave, so many older siblings and parents do that to discipline the kids, which I think is a very important aspect of bringing a child up! The kid probably just cried cuz he got intimidated by an absolute stranger and the mother was definitely a bitch in overreacting that way! FYL.

Yes, sue the child's mother...The child's mother could sue the OP since the OP slapped her kid...and as for not watching kids...obviously the OP wasn't watching his brother or he would have known that the kid wasn't him.

#38 if you say you shouldn't hit your brother, you've never had a brother.

That really sucks. You had no idea it wasn't your brother, it's not your fault.

Seriously, it was an honest mistake.

Nah it's her fault fr just slapping the kids arm without saying hey don't touch the stuff ya kno
Blippety 23
Slapping a kid's arm is the equivalent of "hey don't touch the stuff". I really don't see how that was the wrong thing to do if she thought it was her brother.

Ydi for not being an only child!!!!!!!!!!!!

if your first impulse us to hit, you need psychological help. next time, just SAY: please, don't touch the clothes that we can't afford to buy.". or the old standard: "look with your eyes, not with your hands". obviously YDI.

There's nothing wrong with a small slap to the arm or hand. Now if he goes around punching him in the face, that's a different story.

oh please, where i live, thats totally normal. When i was little and my mom or older siblings saw me playing with an expensive object they would give me a little slap to the arm or whatever. If i didnt like theyd beat my ass and i would stop instantly, its the only thing that works. People just dont know how to displine children these days. Gentle words dont work. You have to be firm and to the point.

and make sure it's your own kid... someone does that to my kid and they're going to be getting a lot of worse than a slap on the arm. I don't give a damn who you think you are Don't touch other people's kids.

Oh my I think that people really need to take a deep breath and calm down. This fml was hilarious. It was a mistake. I can't tell you how many times I wasn't paying attention at the mall and starting talking to someone who wasn't who i thought. I've even grabbed the hand of a parent who wasn't mine...when I was little. Who in their right mind can say they never gave their sybling a slap? Obviously this person wasn't being abusive...the woman over reacted. I would be pretty mad if it was one of my daughters. But I certaintly wouldn't slapp another person's face for swatting my daughters hands away from merchandise. I wouldn't slap any stranger's face, especially if they explained it was a case of mistaken identity. Some of you people have nothing better to do than verbally abuse people on this silly website. If it weren't for people who told their stories you'd have nothing to read!!!

#11- you need to realize that it's a kid being dealt with out here. Politely asking a kid to behave like an adult and be all proper is probably not your best bet at actually preventing him from screwing up, if anything he'd just do it more because kids love to do what they're told not to. So yeah, the OP wasn't wrong in giving the kid (who he thought was his younger sibling) a small slap on the hand. It's just a part of disciplining the kid!

You need help... Slapping someone on the wrist wont cause "phychological damage" and its a teaching technique thats been very succesful... Older generations used it and look how good they turned out... And look how screwed up this generation is

You're right we wouldn't have FML if people didn't go ahead and post stuff like that and I wish people would stay away from being mean. Also, I've never slapped my siblings. I'm the oldest by years so it's not like I was a little kid and just did it. Just saying though.

No it's not. o.O I have an older sister, and when we were little she always managed to resist the urge to randomly slap me or someone who looked like me in shops.

If it HAD been your little brother that would have worked to be fair The mum was out of line slapping you in the face
