Today, I was having a race with a little kid. I let him win to make him feel like a champion. After the race, he turned to me and said, "Maybe if you weren't so fat you would have won." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML
Today, my friend was complaining about how fat she was. To make her feel better I said, "Psh, you're not fat! In fact we're about the same weight!" She looked at me for a second, then burst into tears sobbing, "I'm fat! I'm fat!" FML
Today, after months of exercise and diets and finally reaching my ideal weight, I told my morbidly obese cousin about my success, hoping to motivate him to do the same. He replied, "Why would it matter, you're still ugly." FML
Today, I achieved a personal goal by completing a half-marathon for charity, despite being overweight and unfit before training. When I finished I cried, not because I was proud of myself, but because I ran the last two miles while being followed by kids on bicycles calling me a "fat cunt". FML
Today, I told my mom I wanted to try out for the track team. Her exact words were "good luck, fatty". FML
Today, my cousin asked me what it's like to be so fat. I chastised him and said that was a rude thing to ask. He apologized, then asked me what it's like to be such a pussy. He didn't stop until he, a 10 year-old kid, had reduced me, a 26 year-old woman, to tears. FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were play-fighting. I managed to pin him down and win. He saw my grin, snorted, and bitterly said I'd only won because, "let's face it, you're a bit of a porker, eh babe?" FML
Today, I was at the gym, when a pretty overweight guy started staring and eventually taunting me. Let me tell you, lines such as "Lay off the cake, fatty!" and "I can see your gut hanging out your ass, for fuck's sake!" don't exactly boost one's self-confidence. FML
Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh I love kids like this cause then I tell them how I'm "The boss." and make them do some housework to save me chores.

Kids can be such hateful little monsters. All you could really do is try to explain to him how hurtful that was.
mikeofthunder 13
Kids are usually brutally honest as they don't fully understand the effect words have. He probably didn't intent to hurt you. Just simply an innocent observation

15- Very true, their brains have not developed enough. They're not really cruel, they just lack the capacity for a lot of empathy.
mikeofthunder 13
17 - indeed. Their early development years are usually very self-centred. A larger capacity and desire for empathy can be seen 11+

22- As someone who has studied early childhood development for years (and is still studying more) I'd just like to clarify that 11+ is kind of way off. Children tend to start developing empathy around 3 years old and their desire for it only really gets stronger from there (I know, some a lot slower than others). But then again, OP just said 'little kid', and as 'little' is a matter of opinion, we really have no idea how old this child is.

Kids aren't stupid. It's called bad parenting. Depending on the age, yes they do know. Like if it were a 6 year old the parents should've already taught that little shit something. And I'm not speaking out of my ass, I KNOW this.

56- We never said kids are stupid. When a baby is born, their brain takes several years to fully develop, and even then the brain is still maturing until the ages of 20 or 21. As toddlers they have very little capability to feel empathy and sympathy. The brain just isn't all there and ready to go yet. As they get older, they steadily gain compassion, but it takes a lot of time and patience. There's no need to be so hostile.

38 - my apologies. I see from your profile that you're also pretty darn passionate about it too and I admire that as I also want to work with children. But I simply stated a "larger capacity" can be seen 11+, when they begin to accept more abstract and contextual ideas, such as the difference between obedience and morality. I'm also basing this on the cognitive theories developed by Piaget. I'm sure toddlers are capable of empathy, but not as much so as an 11 year old. Kids are lovely dude, but they won't see the harm in asking a question about body weight of stating a fact.

you should have tripped him / her

That would defeat the purpose of "letting him win to make him feel like a champion".

YDI for deceiving a child. Obviously he thought "why did I win, it is impossible" and then created a logical answer.
cosmosis 12
Yes. because kicking a childs ass in a race and dealing with the whinging is a much better alternative. You obviously have not had much experience around little children.

You're right icychil kids need to be taught about reality, life's not always fair. And if your child whines there are ways to teach them not to do this. When babysitting for my sister who has 4 kids I have a no whining policy. It works well and after about an hour of reminding them "No whining" they catch on and it's a more peaceful day.

Obviously the child was not very happy of winning. So, obviously he understood cheating. So, obviously, you just choose games that do not involve unequal competing. Otherwise, face the results.

19.. I was gonna say kick, but trip works too!

If OP did everything we suggested she would be in prison by tomorrow;D But that kid is a sore winner.

Two ideas: 1.) rematch. ASAP. 2.) sleep with the kids mother.
andiewithlove 21
OP is female....o-o
FarSide 23
So? Sleep with his mother.

Why were you racing a kid in the first place? (Just curious as to what led to the race). Not saying you can't race kids, just not the '13 going on 30' type of kids.

No good deed goes unpunished.

That is when you tell him you let him win to be nice, challenge him to a rematch, and when you win rub it in his face that he got beat by a fatty.
