Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after twelve straight hours of work, my fourteen year old son surprised me with a broken window and a cracked TV. He said, "I was swatting away a fly." FML
Today, my son tried to swat a fly with a hammer. Our apartment walls are now littered with dents and holes. FML
Today, my young son and I were in line at Subway. I guess he got bored and started to insult the teenage girl behind us. I tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. Eventually the girl punched him in the face and left. As my son cried uncontrollably, everyone else there clapped. FML
Today, two days after losing my temper with my smart mouthed 7 year-old son and slapping him across the face, I tried to apologize by buying him a treat and telling him if anyone found out, I would get in trouble. Today, I got a call from social services about the "bruise" on his face. FML
Today, I accused my son of faking being sick. He then blew chunks all over me. FML
Today, during a heated argument with my son, I lost my temper and called him a son of a bitch. He enthusiastically agreed. FML
Today, I walked into my son's room only to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML
Today, during a family game of basketball, my 15 year old son shoved me hard to get the ball. I fell and cut my arm badly on the ground. I yelled at him for being an idiot. He replied "Oh jeez, a bleeding woman being a bitch, what a fucking shocker." My husband doubled over laughing. FML
Today, my 2-year-old son put his hand on my face, gave me a sweet kiss, and put his cheek against mine. Then he slapped me hard enough to leave a mark, laughed, and scrambled away. FML
Today, my son got a beating. Apparently, he went to a club, waited until he saw a couple of girls pulling a duckface for a photo, then rushed over and threw pieces of bread at them. Their boyfriends, not too surprisingly, didn't appreciate this. I had to drive the idiot home from the hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wouldn't you break down if a fly pissed you off?

I find that pretty disturbing that you find yourself "humiliated" (what a strong word) because your son acted silly and immature. He looked stupid, not you and it's weird you can't see that and are ashamed of him. You sound like a douche-bag to me.

wow. i hate to tell you, as you should have figured this out in fewer than 15 years, but your children do not exist as reflections of your glory. this fly incident is by far not the worst thing about his family life.....

Yeah not quite sure why you matter... I feel bad for your son though. He could use a better dad =/

I'm surprised the kid manage to hit himself hard enough to knock him out of his chair. Strange to get worked so worked up over a fly.

My boyfriend did pretty much the same thing, but instead of tears, he broke a chair -_-

If your son breaks down into tears over this there must be something else going on. Stop feeling embarrassed or humiliated and try to find out what's bothering your son so much!
