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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ungrateful and lacks any manners. seriously I think kids are being robbed of any form of imagination these days. Games aren't a bad thing but kids rely on them way too much now.

Man, thats terrible. Kids these days. Im only 18 but i didnt get my first iPod (classic) and my xbox 360 when i was 13 and i didnt get an iPod touch till 15. And i always am grateful for a gift. That sucks op. what did her parents say?

My sister is 9 and her big thing right now is Monster High dolls. She does have a computer, but its my parents old desk top that she uses to watch kid shows on youtube and play games on nick.com. She LOVES going outside and has never once asked for an iPod. She also has a ds but honestly, at 9 a DS is an acceptable gift. No reason for children to need all these fancy electronics. I didn't get my first phone until I was 12 (almost 13) and it was for emergencies only. I'm 19 now and yes, I have a fancy droid, but I pay for my shit now.

What a shame. That little girl must have no imagination at all. Her eyes must be glued to the screen. So many kids(adults to)these days are being brainwashed by their electronics and are forgetting how to function without them.

I didn't have shit like that either, I didn't know what an iPod was till I was 12 or 13, I know someone who buys their kids iPads, iPods, MacBooks, have flat screen TVs in their room and they are all under 12, spoiled to the max!! It's disgusting

My niece was the opposite. She had a Wii, 3 different DS handhelds, an iPod touch, a cell phone, tv in her room, a netbook, and a Kindle. She preferred playing with her Barbie dolls.
