Unfortunate coincidences
Today, I finally stood up for myself and beat the crap out of a bully at school, as my father told me to do. The kid and I were called to the principal's office, along with our parents. Inside my father's smirk faded when he saw that the kid's mom was his boss. FML

The Headmaster Ritual
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML

Stranger danger
Today, my 6 year-old daughter got mad at me for not buying her yet another expensive doll. I had to pull her away, and she started screaming for help. The next thing I know, another shopper puts me in a chokehold and calls for security, all while my daughter smirks. FML

Today, in the absence of my god-daughter's parents, I went in their place to see her elementary school's principal. She apparently stood up to a known bully's violence and retaliated, sending said bully to the hospital. Not only she may be facing expulsion, I may get sued by the bully's parents. FML

Today, I was teaching my 4 year-old daughter about "stranger danger" and how to deal with it. Later that day, we went out and since I didn't buy her a ice cream, she kept screaming "STRANGER DANGER!" A total stranger tackled me until the cops arrived. FML

Lesson learned
Today, my kid was lying on the floor in Morrisons screaming, no matter what I tried to do, until another mother came, picked him up, and dumped him in the trolley seat. She then looked me up and down and said, “Girl, he’s 4 years-old and 3 feet tall, grow some fucking backbone.” She was so right too. FML

I would be super proud if my child ever stood up for me. You are very lucky OP.

How is this an FML? Your life is awesome. A 4 year old kid with a sense of right and wrong, and the confidence in her assessment of those values, enough to stand up to someone for you? You're doing something right.

You're doing a good job raising her then :)

When someone does something great like that, try to learn from them. A kid stands up for you. Wouldn't you like to be like them? Better yourself when you see inspiring stuff like that. Bullies suck. Stand up for yourself. Show your kid how its done, so they can stand up for themselves at school and in life, because you won't always be there to do it for them.

My son did that for me when he was about 10, he's 35 now! I've never forgotten it although he has! I think about that event a lot!

I mean, I don't think you deserved it, but I can't really say FYL if you have such an awesome kid.
