Today, my 11-year-old daughter heard the quote, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be." She decided to test this out by letting our new puppy out of the front door. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 13 year-old daughter took our French Bulldog puppy out to pee. She left him out there and went back inside the house. She didn’t know she had to let him back in and thought he would bark at the door when he was done. It’s been two hours and he’s nowhere to be found. FML
Today, my 17-year-old daughter didn't do the laundry. Her excuse? "If it was meant to be done, it would have done itself." This is the same daughter who yesterday tried convincing me she was responsible enough to get a dog. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because her dog "told her to". FML
Today, my neighbor's 4-year-old daughter came up to me and asked if she could have my dog. When I said no, she started crying so much that her mom came out 5 minutes later and demanded that I give her daughter the dog. FML
Today, I let my new puppy outside for the first time. When I went to get him, I saw a man running off with him. FML
Today, my 8-month-old dog decided to decorate the living room by tearing apart a rented college textbook, the reference guide that went with it, and part of a color therapy book. FML
Today, my wife isn't speaking to me and is considering separation because I got rid of the puppy she surprised me with for my birthday. She knows I hate dogs and I'm severely allergic to them, but thought it would be a happy case of "Dad later falls in love." FML
Today, my toddler handed me a present and told me to keep it forever. It was a piece of dog poo. FML
Today, it turned out that letting my daughter watch '101 Dalmatians' backfired; our dog gave birth to two gorgeous pups but she can't stop crying and asking where 'the rest of them' went. Apparently she's been telling her friends all week that she'd soon have 15 puppies to play with, and now will never be happy again. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I started fighting. Instead of arguing for herself, she decided to set her puppy on me. Only "Puppy" is the name of her fully-grown police-trained German Shepherd. FML

Everyone saying "kids these days" and the like needs to realize that the "kid" in question is 11 years old. At that age, she's undoubtedly learning about her period and, in this day and age, sex and pregnancy. Girls at the age of 13 are popping out kids, so this girl is probably getting sex ed. Regardless, an 11-year-old should easily know not to let a puppy outside like that. OP, I hope you got the puppy back!

As someone who lives in the US, you should know how afraid of sex this country is. Sex ed doesn't come until high school, which is the whole reason these kids end up pregnant so young. I agree with the last sentence, though. This girl's not too bright.

That quote is the dumbest quote ever. I HATE IT. It's not true. Especially in a relationship. You either work on the relationship or you try a new relationship.

It is something people tell themselves to make break ups easier. I hated it the first time I heard it and hate it even more today. Believing something is meant to be is a cop out for not wanting to put work into a relationship. And yes, even with all the work in the world, things still can blow up. It's life. Not fate.

OP here! Most of you were really disrespectful. My daughter has learning disabilities and didn't know better. Don't you have better ways to waste your life then point out someone else's "flaws" To those of you that actually cared more about the dog instead of my daughter, yes the dog is okay! I found him about 3 hours later 6 roads down from us and is back home safe and sound!

Well, you could've said your daughter had a disability so we could understand. And if you don't want people to say offensive things, then you've failed yourself as you've posted this on FML, and you have indeed said FML. Next time think before calling people disrespectful and offensive.

And, after reviewing your sorry comment, you said "some better way to waste your lives" and that's just offensive. And disrespectful. The dog should've ran away.

You should test it out on your daughter.

I hope you find the puppy, OP. And I really hope you are disciplining your idiotic 11 year old.
