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?

that is terrible. I can only imagine how hurt your feelings must be OP. that was mean of your niece. I guess now you know that she's more tech savvy... I'd buy her a giftcard next time.

I'm almost 23 and I'd be thrilled to get a Barbie. :3

I'm 21 and I would like it too. I still have most of my Barbies and dolls (though I don't play with them anymore)... ;)

Should have given her a pack of batteries and a card with a note saying "Toys not included"

Ok... When I was 8 my parents got me a princess book. They knew I hated princesses too.

If it doesn't spend or have an off/on switch, kids don't want it! Ridiculous! I'm older than most of you, I was happy to get dolls! I had an imagination. Something that's missing from today's kids!

A kid who can't play. That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Remember bark boats and pine cone animals with toothpicks for legs? That was one generation ago...

Kids are too spoiled these days.

Even if she didn't like the gift, she could've humored OP. It's the thought that counts. OP, next time don't get her anything. She needs to learn to be appreciative.

That's the last present she would get from me! I learned very young that it doesn't matter if its just a card, you still better say thanks and act like its the best card ever. Smh...
