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

I honestly hate this generation. Sadly, I'm part of it.

You're part of a superior generation if you hate today's generation. Not sure what superior is though...

I sure hope the parents corrected that behavior. That's pathetic

Pretty sure you gave the correct gift, the girl is just a spoiled brat

Ugh.. I'd have beat her ass for, one: throwing away a brand new gift, and two: being an ungrateful little shit. My 3-year-old doesn't get any expensive crap like that, the biggest gift she's gotten was a bike and the only "electronic" toy she has is a Tag reader pen. Educational shit ftw. She won't be getting any iPods or iPhones or game consoles of her own till she's much older because she doesn't need them. Kids these days are so spoiled.. It's just ridiculous. Ugh ugh ugh.

This is so sad. I didn't get a cell phone or an iPod till high school. "In my day" we used our imagination. It's like all this new technology has sucked the imagination out of the kids.

Ungrateful little brat. Don't get anything for her in future.

I mean it was rude of her to throw it away, but you should have asked her parents what she'd like, or just went with a gift card or cash. Can't go wrong with money. I'm torn on this one.

It doesn't matter if the kid had been given a toy she didn't want, a pair of ugly socks, whatever. When someone gives you a present, you smile and say thank you. Clearly her parents never bothered to teach her manners.

If you blindly pick something out for someone, there's a chance they won't like it. As I said it was rude and ungrateful of her, but if you're in doubt, just give a gift card. If she complains about that, then there's something wrong. OP didn't deserve the reaction, but then again they chose a gift on the hopes it would be something an 8 year old girl would like.
