Today, my mother-in-law thought it would be appropriate to give my five-year-old daughter some bedclothes with the Playboy logo all over them. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my five-year-old daughter asked me why moms don't swallow clothes, so that their babies won't be born naked. My husband burst into derisive laughter, and has now trained her into responding to the name "Derp-Derp." FML
Today, my mother-in-law started chasing my kids around her house to make them smell her freshly-washed underwear. They were thongs. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, I picked up my daughter from preschool. Her teacher handed me her nap blankets and mentioned there was an extra article of clothing I might want to take home. I looked in-between the blankets and saw a pair of my giant granny panties that had gotten mixed in with her stuff. FML
Today, my sister-in-law recently spend the night to hangout with my 7 year-old. She kept some of her clothes in his dresser. While doing laundry and sorting out clothes that no longer fit him, I found a pair of her shit-stained underwear shoved in the back of one of the drawers. She's in her 40's and this isn't the first occurrence. FML
Today, I found out my husband had bought my 1-year-old daughter a shirt that says "Birth Control Fail" in pink glittery letters. He even took her out in it while I was at work. FML
Today, my daughter asked me to take her to Victoria's Secret so I could buy her some "sexy clothes". She's 9. FML
Today, I found out my husband had bought my one year-old daughter a shirt that says "Birth Control Fail" in pink glittery letters. He even took her out in it while I was at work. FML
Today, I bought a shirt for my 5 year-old, which said, "I tried to be good, but I take after my Grandpa!" I thought it was a cute joke, but my mother-in-law said, "So you mean his grandpa isn't good? And that's why your son isn't good?" Despite my husband adding, "She bought this shirt. It was a joke, mom" they're still offended. FML
Today, it was my little girl's birthday and her grandparents came over to celebrate. One of the presents from her grandparents turned out to be a sweater. She then asked, "Mommy, may I please lie?" When I shook my head no, she exclaimed, "I hate this ugly sweater!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Worse that Playboy found it appropriate to make things for 5 year old.

Grandmas gone wild. Watch as she passes the torch to future generations.

That's not that bad. 5 year olds won't ask about that. If they do, just lie about it :)

Does she know what it is??

I don't see how this is an FML. I think it's rather hilarious. Your daughter is not going to read the magazine or know what it is and even if your mother-in-law knows what playboy is I doubt she would have bought it for anything other than how cute it is. Playboy might be risque but the logo and coloring are things that would appeal to a child (a bunny and pink). Be the mother. The MIL is not raising your child. This problem is solved by simply telling your MIL what the logo represents and how you feel about it (respectfully). Tell her that anything with that logo is not allowed on your daughter at any point in her life (until after 18). Ask her to return the it for something more child friendly. If she refuses, stand your ground and remove the item for your daughters room. Then take your daughter to the store and have her pick out a new, appropriate replacement and donate the the item to good will.

How is she a bitch and why waste perfectly good clothes? Donate it to charity and someone can use them.

The fact they're obviously making bedclothes small enough for a five year old is kind of worrying in itself.

Honestly, I don't see the problem. Maybe it's because I'm a guy but she's only 5. She doesn't know it's playboy, to her it's a bunny. Just use them as what you stated they were, bed clothes, and there shouldn't be a problem.

I think it's rather hilarious. Your daughter is not going to read the magazine or know what it is and even if your mother-in-law knows what playboy is I doubt she would have bought it for anything other than how cute it is. Playboy might be risque but the logo and coloring are things that would appeal to a child (a bunny and pink). Be the mother, your MIL is not raising your child. If you find it offensive, the problem is solved by simply telling your MIL that the logo is not appropriate for a child. You can opt to tell her that the logo is not allowed near your child, or on anything purchased for her in the future. Ask her to return the it for something more child friendly. If she says no, then take your child to the store and replace the item with something she will like just as much and donate the offending item to good will where someone else can enjoy it. However, your daughter will not know what the logo means and making a big deal out of a bunny is not exactly mature. Your MIL most likely bought it to be nice, not to undermine you or make your daughter into a hooker. The magazine is not ****, its erotic "art" as my boyfriend says and the articles are actually pretty good. Making a big deal about "innocent" things will make your daughter more likely to want to know why mommy is freaking out over a bunny.
