Today, my four year old got mad that he couldn't find his favorite character on the Wii. So, he decided to smash the Wii remote into my $700 LCD TV, shattering the screen. That was the only TV in the house, and the $80 service plan I bought doesn't cover accidental damage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML
Today, I tried to play with my Wii using the TV remote. FML
Today, I realized just how bad my 28-year-old husband's gamer rage is when I came home to a smashed TV. This is the second TV in three months that he's destroyed. FML
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, my son ruined our fairly new 60 inch smart TV by giving it a bath with his squirt gun. FML
Today, I spent over $2,000 on a big flatscreen TV. My dad insisted I let him mount it on the wall instead of paying someone to do it. All seemed fine, until the TV came loose and smashed onto the floor. My dad refuses to accept responsibility, and says I should've had a professional install it instead. FML
Today, while playing ping pong, my brother got mad that he lost and threw the paddle at my head, causing me to fall backwards into the TV mounted on the wall. Now I have a concussion and have to pay to replace the TV. FML
Today, in an attempt to keep my valuables safe, I snatched my PlayStation 4 controller from the hands of my 4-year-old nephew. Not knowing that it was connected, I ultimately yanked the PlayStation and the HD Flatscreen flat on their faces. FML
Today, I had to purchase a new flat screen TV for the bar I work at. Last night I was dared to break an ashtray against the wall. I completely missed the wall and smashed the screen of the new TV they bought last month. FML
Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML

Do NOT replace the TV and Wii... you're gonna need ALL the $$ you can scrounge for bail and criminal defense. And put a solid door on your bedroom, with a STRONG lock...

I would have sat that little shit in the emergency room. to make amends, I would have bought ice cream when we left the hospital and not shared any with him/her. FYL

How the hell could a 4-year old behave like that? MAJOR issues. He sounds disgustingly spoilt. Totally deserved.

Is this lifted from a Southwest Airlines commercial? Why didn't you make him wear the damned wrist strap? Also, I'm a bit suspicious -- an American house with only one TV in the whole house? I could accept if the OP's family was po' white trash that only had one TV per room, but one TV in the whole house? We didn't get to be the fattest nation on Earth by neglecting essential technology like TV!

Exactly. I've never been in a house with less than three.

I only own a TV for the purposes of playing video games. It's not a flat screen, and it cost me about 300 bucks 6+ years ago. If you are spending big bucks on a TV, it's very likely, especially in a one-parent house, that there is only one TV. Or it could be that, like me, the OP just doesn't watch TV, and only uses it for games or movies. It's not unheard of, not everyone considers wasting away in front of the TV and acceptable use of time.. OP, YDI for letting your kid play video games instead of making him use his imagination. on top of all the previous comments about how you are a crappy parent...

My family only has one TV. There is no need for more. Plus I don't like TV these days.

...having one TV per room doesn't make you "po' white trash, it makes you God damn rich! Who has more than one TV in a room? And I know plenty of people that only have one TV in their house, and they aren't poor.

What kind of parent are you??? You only bought your 4 year old a Wii and a $700 LCD tv?? If you really cared about your kid you would buy him a PS3, an xbox AND a Wii and a $2000 tv! And you would buy him whatever video games he wants, including GTA. And when he gets mad and breaks something, you would immediately replace it so that he doesn't get his feelings hurt. Now go be a good parent.
