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?

...ungrateful kid!

Eh, yeah the kid's a brat, but you should've asked your sister or brother what their kid wanted before you went out and got a barbie. Not all kids like barbies. I wasn't a fan of them when I was 8. I wouldn't have just thrown it away, but I would have preferred something more to my interests. Yes, kids at 8 do have interests.

I guess I really am old, because my first thought is, "My folks would've sent me to my room and probably confiscated one of my prized toys if I did that!"

What an ungrateful little -----!!! If I was her mother, she would be making a donation to the needy of ALL the gifts she didn't throw away...to teach her to be more respectful of people!

kill it... kill it with fire.

No, use fire to make deeps wounds, then put it out with vodka. That'll make her appreciate life.

I didn't even get a Barbie until I was 11! She should be more grateful

kids today are already surrounded by so much technology that they probably dont play with dolls anymore. because when I was a kid my life revolved around my hot wheels and dolls

It's sad when a child lacks the imagination to be able to play with a toy as simple as a doll or a ball. If it doesn't have buttons and batteries, they want nothing to do with it. Faith in next generation: destroyed

That is the fault of her parents! They need to teach her some respect and gratefulness.
