Today, in a fit of jealousy, my 10 year-old unplugged my freezer and lifted the lid before bed. It’s over 80°F in my garage. Now, my entire supply of breast milk is destroyed. Not only do I not have enough stored to feed my own baby, I was also donating to local hospitals. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter, who is going through a vegan phase, pulled the plug for our garage chest freezer, where we store our meat. That's $1200 of meat, rotten. My husband is so mad that he's been at the gym for six hours straight. FML
Today, I discovered that my freezer had died when I saw the contents oozing out the bottom. The now-full trash can won't be picked up for another 6 days, and the high temperatures are supposed to be in the 100s all week. FML
Today I left my 8-week-old with my brother so I could return to work. His wife took all the breast milk I'd packed out of the fridge and poured it out. According to her, it was “gross” and she didn’t want it near her food. My son is allergic to formula. FML
Today, I bought $250 worth of groceries and was feeling rather good about myself because it's the first time I've been able to do so in months. When I returned home I found my fridge/freezer broken. Most of the food I bought was dairy or frozen. FML
Today, my wife was painting in the garage when she unplugged a random plug to charge her stupid, smelly vape without thinking about what it was she was unplugging. It was the large chest freezer. About £500 in meat and the entire bottom tier of our wedding cake defrosted and ruined. FML
Today, at work, the chest freezer was accidentally turned off. I work at a vet and the freezer is our morgue. It got opened before anyone realized the contents had thawed. FML
Today, I came home from a business trip and was greeted by a foul smell. I soon found out my husband accidentally let the milk go bad by leaving it out all day, then tried to solve the problem by "balancing the temperatures" by putting it in the freezer. Oh honey, no. Just no. FML
Today, I went into my fridge and someone had drank all the beer. Only my 8-year-old son lives with me. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, I spent almost an hour cleaning and scrubbing the inside of my fridge. Just when I'd finished putting everything back inside, I tipped over the open milk carton. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your 10 year old is an asshole. Lots of kids act out, only a small number intentionally destroy valuable things. Good luck with that, you're probably raising a sociopath.

Kids can be jealous but to destroy your baby’s food...it’s like saying he wants the baby to die of starvation since he knowingly destroyed it’s food...(and the food of other babies since you were donating) You need to discipline him and explain why a new baby doesn’t take away from him if you want to stop this. That’s not normal jealously.

idk I feel like if the kid was a sociopath he would have just poisoned the milk as opposed to just letting it spoil.

Spoiled milk is poisonous. Perhaps he had planned to plug it back in if she hadn't noticed. After all - he left the door open so that they would warm up and spoil much faster. Or, you know, he's only 10 so he's not quite yet creative enough to murder someone like that...

Ugh, I know how awful that feels. Losing breast milk is beyond sad. And I also have a strong willed daughter who does crazy crap on purpose. Parenting them is hard. You aren’t alone, OP.

Kids can be selfish and inconsiderate jerks. Raising them is not all rainbows and unicorns. I just hope he learns a lesson from all of this.

Your 10-year-old is a brat that needs his ass popped. Jealous or not, that is not okay.

And physically abusing a kid only teaches it to use physical abuse when emotionally unstable. There are better ways of handling the situation but I definitely agree therapy with a seriously good child psychologist is necessary in this case.

Nothing wrong with a spanking!

Send that little shit off to military school!

Discipline, yes, and you might want to consider therapy. If he’s this bad now, he will be a NIGHTMARE when he hits puberty!

little shit needs to be shown how it feels to not have those nutrients. Nothing but brown rice for food till your supply builds up

I'd ground the kid for about two months. And use that time to make sure he understands WHY he can't play video games or access the Internet without parental controls.
