Today, my husband and I sat our 10-year-old daughter down for a chat over her recent cursing. When my husband asked where she'd heard the words, she "innocently" replied, "from mommy's other boyfriend." He took her seriously, accused me of cheating, and hasn't been home since. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my 5 year old daughter call a girl in her dance class a slut. Shocked, I asked her where she heard that word. Her response: "I heard you and Daddy say it about her Mommy." FML
Today, my toddler started running around the house yelling, "Daddy said a bad word!" over and over again. I don't even know what I allegedly said, but now my wife is giving me the "we need to talk" look. FML
Today, my wife got a call from my son's school, telling her that he was talking inappropriately in class, using bad language. Neither my wife or I ever use foul language, spoken or written. I feel like such a failure as father and parent. FML
Today, my daughter flew completely off the handle when she found out I have a girlfriend, and called me an unfaithful sinning bastard, who’s going to hell for cheating on her mother. Her mother's been dead for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve met a woman since then. FML
Today, my daughter came crying to me that her boyfriend cheated on her. I'd like to comfort her, if it weren't for the fact that she manipulated him into cheating on his previous girlfriend with her. FML
Today, I found out my 7-year-old daughter really did lie about my husband's "other girlfriend" as revenge for being grounded, and that he never cheated on me at all. We're well into our divorce proceedings and he won't forgive me for not believing him when he denied it. FML
Today, I found out that my 11 year-old daughter dresses skimpy when I drop her off on the weekends at my ex-husband’s house, courtesy of his girlfriend, who he cheated on me with. When I confronted her, she told me to “stop being such a prude” and with my attitude, “no wonder you get cheated on.” FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, my daughter's 14-year-old boyfriend confessed, in front of her, that he only went out with her so he might have a chance to date me. My daughter isn't speaking to me. FML
Today, my mother came into my workplace to wail on me for "ruining our family's reputation" because I got a girl pregnant. I've been married to the "girl" for 8 years. FML

You may have an manipulative genius on your hands.

I feel like what your 10-year-old daughter said is true because why else would she have said it its not like she is old enough to try and get back you by making up an elaborate lie to avoid the subject at hand of her cursing and she is only 10 and little kids tend to tell the truth

Not saying that the daughter was lying, but kids nowadays are learning to lie very early. My 2 yr old asked her dad for some ice cream and when he told her no because she needed to eat dinner first, she ran over to me crying and saying he spanked her and asked for ice cream to make it better.

Ten year olds are by no means little kids. She understood exactly what she was saying and kids her age and much younger are fully capable of lying. I know that my little brother used to blame me whenever he broke something so he wouldn't get into trouble and he started doing this when he was about 3. If you think that a ten year old is too young to lie then boy are you in for a big surprise if you have kids or have to take care of them.

I think the child needs to watch a little less TV. That's crazy.

Well, the daughter might be telling the truth but I think that she did come up with that elaborate lie so that her parents would be at each other instead of her. If she's learned to cuss, I'm pretty sure she knows damn well how to lie too. I don't trust children nowadays..

She probably has a whole lot of friends who have divorced parents and so she hears about them having two christmases, two holidays, two birthdays, two bedrooms, and about how they can get away with stuff at one house that they can't get away with at the other and thinks that they're living the dream without realising how much having divorced parents can suck. FYL OP but I'd suggest talking to her and seeing why she said that. Then punish her after of course.

She is only 10and if she is lying there are huge underlying problems- why wound she say that??? But your husband should at least hear you out and not just accept a 10 year olds account for your intimate relationships- hope you can talk to him if you really love him- if you are being true and he doesn't believe you your marriage had way bigger issues before this :(

By no means am I trying to defend the little shit, but, to be fair, having a messed-up child requires some major slips on the parents' side in the vast majority of cases. All kids have some bad qualities to them, that's normal, but I feel like successful parenting is managing to keep those in check without traumatizing the child. So I feel like OP and her husband must've missed something big at some point in the past ten years, but this kid is inexcusably evil.

You might need to talk with your daughter about her lying, but I think you also need to talk with your husband on trust issues. Because if a ten year old told me my husband was cheating on me (in a roundabout way like that), I would ask him about it - I can tell like hell when he's lying, and he's never done it to me (apart from white lies, like telling me I looked beautiful in a hospital gown when I hadn't washed my hair for a week). Then it's time question the kid - TOGETHER - to find out what the heck she was thinking and why she said that.
