Today, I was at work, photographing a baby boy. I grabbed a bench for him to use to hold himself upright. His mom asked if she should hold him instead, but I told her he'd be fine. Two seconds later, he fell backwards and brought the bench down on top of him. There goes my job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker brought her 3-year-old son to work with her. When introducing him to me, she dropped her bag and bent over to pick it up, knocking him over with her butt in the process. When she stood up, she noticed he was sitting on the ground crying. She then accused me of pushing him over. FML
Today, I went to see my banker. As we were finishing everything up, I leaned forward to sign something. As I went back to sit down, my two year-old pulled the chair out from under me, and I crashed down to the floor. FML
Today, I tripped getting on an escalator and instinctively grabbed the nearest person to steady myself. That person was a toddler. The mom screamed, I fell anyway, and the toddler just stared at me like I’d ruined his whole week. FML
Today, I was bringing a table a bowl of soup at my waitressing job. A new customer taking off his coat threw his elbow out, violently knocking the soup out of my hands and onto his baby in a highchair. The baby screamed; I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I was at work, when a co-worker began to shake a near empty box. Without thinking, I shouted "What if there was a baby in there? You just killed it!" I then remembered she recently suffered a miscarriage. FML
Today, I was at the park with my friends. We were all having fun on the swings, when out of nowhere I heard a thud, followed by a child crying. Turns out I accidentally kicked him in the head. FML
Today, I was taking a selfie in a café because the lighting was perfect. As I leaned back for the perfect angle, my chair tipped over, and I fell to the ground in front of a bunch of people. The barista was so concerned, he came over with a first aid kit, while I just wanted to disappear. FML
Today, at work, we were gathered to be told some bad news. One of our colleagues would be taking indefinite leave because his wife had dropped their newborn baby. I accidentally laughed at the image. FML
Today, I was babysitting my co-worker's son. He was eating Jell-o and spilled it on his top, so I pulled off his PJ's, and went in his room to grab a new pair. I heard a thunk and ran to find him out cold on the floor. His parents walked in on me trying to wake up their naked 3 year-old. FML
Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML

You obviously don't know anything about kids, and gravity.

Well if he was a fairly new baby you shouldnt have expected him to be able to hold his own weight up

All of u stop being such asses. That's the problem with kids these days they arent allowed to fall down. Granted, I'm only 30 and have no kids cuz they annoy me. But you are all turning the future generation into a bunch of *******. Let them play in the mud, fall over,get cuts and scrapes. We all did it growing up so what's the harm in them doing it

Yes, let a kid play in the mud, and get cuts and scrapes, and bruises. But a BABY? It may be a good thing you don't have kids. I doubt they would live the first year.

Ydi for not listening to mom. Then again fyl since the mom was to chicken shit to stand up and say no I need to be able to catch him/her if they fall

You should've listened to the parents.

This isn't a wow that is a unfortunate situation. This could have killed the baby

Seriously... If a mom thinks her kid needs some support you let her support him. She knows what her kid can handle better than your happy ass. I would have slapped you.

At least now his parents won't be the ones he blames for dropping him on his head when he was young.

Ydi, pretty sure his mom has a better idea of how well he can stand himself up than you do. After all, she does raise him. Never tell a mom that their kid will be fine if you don't know both the child and the mother on a personal level, or you're the child's doctor.
