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?

Why does an 8 year old get that shit? I never got that shit! Hell at this point just get her a damn vibrator. That's just as appropriate a present for a child as the rest!

I never got presents as a kid. Only video games for the NES, SNES, and Playstation. And it was only a few video games. How does the world change so quickly?

Well...To clarify, I didn't get all this sh— that this child does as a kid. And by few, I mean ONE.

Damn son, I started late. I got my first games console when I was 20 and too with my own money. The one doll/barbie I had as a child, was a present from outside the family and I wasn't allowed to rough it up. Kids nowadays are really sickening to see, all new parents need some lessons on rasing respectable and grateful kids.

I don't understand why a 8 year old needs an ipod...kids these days are basing their lives around technology too much. It scares me.

I want a ticket off this planet.

Technology is taking over. My 8 year old younger sister got an iPod, AND a laptop two years before I did, and I'm fifteen!!! I won so many academic awards and it took me so long to get rewarded for it... Kids and technology.... no.

Seriously? When I was 8 I would of loved a Barbie doll. Even them the most expensive thing I had was a bike. At least that gives you fun and exercise. Sure beats sitting inside all day.

It's things like this that piss me off about this generation. Yes I had gaming devices when I was a kid but I was grateful unlike this kid. I'm 18 and I work my ass off to earn money to pay for my truck gas and the things I want. Hell when I was offered money for gas from my grandma out of the blue I politely declined because it wasn't right to take it

I agree, I never asked my parents for anything, unless I was going to pay them back.

I think we should regress to toys that require a little more imagination and creativity rather than giving an 8 year old a ******* IPOD.
