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
Collection
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?

Spoiled ungrateful kid smh

She's got a wealthy family! But should not get too accustomed to it. She will eventually need to learn to be grateful for every moment she gets.

Or she's going to grow up and get a sugar daddy and be a waste of space

Or maybe she can get a job and become rich herself? Women can do that now a days.

I would have kicked her ass. Kids these days have no manners

Yes because pulverizing an 8 year old is brilliant.
Tigerblossom 19
I know plenty of little kids who have manners. It just depends on the child.

Ungrateful little bitch. My kids would get the bollocking of their lifetime if they behaved like that.

Although the niece is indeed spoilt and seems to have no manners whatsoever, I'd be pissed at her parents rather than at an 8 year old

Calling an 8 year old a bitch is a bit much. She's spoiled ya, but that's a too far. She's only 8. A kid can only grow up how they are taught so I would blame the girls parents for this one. Not the child. Although, having a good long talk with the girl about manners is desperately needed here.

You do realize child abuse is illegal? What needs to happen is the person needs to talk to the parents and the child. Tell them to not spoil their child. To the kid, tell them to be grateful for what they have.

You can't always just talk to the parents and the child(ren). It doesn't always work or get threw to either party. Disciplinary action needs to be taken in these types of situations, such as taking certain toys away until the child learns manners or to be grateful for all they have, when there are many others who don't get things like that. It's sad when kids get iPods and phones but are ungreatful for what they have, yet my son is 3 and he knows his manners, and he uses them everyday.

Just to clarify, bollocking is an English term for severe telling-off. Nothing abusive.

To turn on a Barbie doll, you need to get a Ken doll, a Barbie(TM) strap-on* and some lube*. *Sold separately.

And some hip waders.

Ken Doll? Try G.I. Joe *Action Figures* All my Barbies turn lesbians when only Ken was around. :P Now. . . when I got my collect of monsters from "Small Soldiers"?, the girls went wild with the troops! and a few of the Gorgonites got lucky too!

#90, unless they changed GI Joe dolls/action figures since i was a kid, they don't have penises either. It's just as well -- if they did, you'd have to pop off one of Barbie's legs to make a hole for him.

Gee, I remember playing with Barbies. Didn't have phones or iPods and iPads. They wanna grow up too fast. Sometimes I'd like to be a kid again. No real responsibilities like car payments and other bills.

Can you say spoiled? Next time just get her a card and keep it moving.

people these days have no idea what a real toy is. 8 year olds don't need iPods. they need education
