Today, I went to visit some family out of state for my niece's birthday. I couldn't think of what to get an 8-year-old so I got her a Barbie doll. Everyone else got her money, iPods, game consoles, etc. When she got to mine she asked "how do I turn it on?" Then threw it away when she couldn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 8 year-old niece gave me back a Fluttershy plush I gifted her 4 years ago. When I told her it was a gift from the heart, she insisted on exchanging it for something of equal value. FML
Today, my 3 year old kid wanted to do something nice. I told him he could pick up some of his toys. He washed my new Iphone instead. FML
Today, my teenage daughter faked a suicide because I bought her a Samsung instead of an iPhone for her birthday. FML
Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML
Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML
Today, I bought my niece a huge stuffed teddy bear for her birthday because I wanted to be the cool aunt/uncle. She hugged it, smiled, and then immediately hugged the gift bag instead, because apparently it made a "funny" crinkly noise. I have officially been defeated by packaging. FML
Today, my 8 year-old adopted daughter told me she wants me to take her back so another family can adopt her because I don't give her enough toys. FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter is so selfish that on her sister's birthday, she found the present, assumed it must be for her, opened it, then destroyed it when she saw it was frozen Anna and Elsa dolls because she hates Frozen. Her sister loves Frozen, and hasn’t stopped crying over Anna’s severed head. FML
Today, I threw a pillow at my 8 year-old cousin while play-fighting. She gave me a look, then muttered, "You don't have any girlfriends and the girls that talk to you probably have no taste." FML

If they're not taller than the toilet then they don't need it.

I think that's a bit too much stuff for 8 year old's birthday. (consoleS means there's more than one) I wonder what the heck she would demand on her 18th birthday. Probably a planet.

It's the parents' fault. Don't raise kids on electronics, it's a bad idea.

okay that's harsh my niece is the same age or will be later this month and she is polite helps me with dishes when I babysit her and her little brother and sister and she loves dolls especially barbies all while being insulted by my aunt her great aunt who bought her house about how she'll be a failure in life because she doesn't get a math problem the first time so please don't say all kids are ungrateful because my niece proves that kids can be grateful

That kid needs to be smacked! So does everyone else that gave the kid stuff she doesn't need, nor deserve!

Mm, most presents aren't because the child deserves or needs them though - for their birthday - you give them things that will make them happy. But I agree that was extremely rude of the girl.

I'm 16 and when I was 8 , I had to be outside all day except to eat, take care of my pet rat, use the bathroom , and sleep. On rainy days I played my game cube, or with my Barbies, or read books. I didn't even know what an iPod was.......

I actually feel sick to my stomach reading this.

It's the parents fault. Don't blame the kids because they were raised that way. The last generation is actually making this one bad. Kids don't raise themselves. Don't generalize

What an ungrateful brat! People need to teach their children how to ALWAYS say thank you when you get a present, even if you don't like it or you already have it. When someone spends their time and money picking out a present for you, you say thank you.
