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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At that age I would have loved a Barbie, especially if it was one of the Spice Girl dolls. If I didn't want a doll I was happy with posters or CD's. Hell, even blank tapes to record my favorite song from the radio. When I wasn't playing with my Spice dolls I was outside with my friends and cousins riding bikes, going to the school playground or playing in the woods behind my friend's house until dark. I really miss those days :(

You should've gave her one that sang.

Technology has ruined the next generation.. What happened to riding your bike or playing outdoors in general and enjoying the simple things. Now kids just sit around on ipads and computers all day. Makes me sick

So... this is what our future generation is going to be. Wish the apocalypse came sooner!

*Deep breath* I give up entirely on the next generation. But if it makes anyone feel better, just know that the generation after the next will be twice as worse! That probably didn't make anyone feel better. Maybe made some people feel worse. And now I feel bad.

are you serious? If I had a present like that when I was 8, I'd jump of joy.

Not every kid is spoiled, ok! All I ever got was a phone, never had an iPod or any game consoles. There was only an Xbox, which my spoiled stepbrothers broke. I had barbies and and Bratz dolls. My stepbrothers had Nintendo DS's and iPod touches since they were 7. Disgusts me.

Maybe it's because I'm almost 12 but I have an ipod and an iphone but I would still be happy if I got a doll.
