Today, my son told me he lost the envelope with all the money he earned selling Cub Scout popcorn. The popcorn was delivered already, and the money needs to be turned in to the pack leader tonight. I just spent $220 on popcorn my neighbors are eating. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son took some of my underwear to school. What's worse is he sold it to his classmate for $10. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, I was elected "class mom", even though I didn’t want to do it. I was also handed several envelopes in the hectic school hallway, containing parental cash contributions for the year. I lost several of the envelopes while rushing to my car, and now have to contribute €100 instead of €25. FML
Today, I ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML
Today, after creating a swear jar for my son, I came back to find a $20 bill in it and him saying, "How much does that buy?" FML
Today, I gave my son a bollocking for losing a very important paper that I needed for work. I've just found it in my right pocket. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it. FML
Today, after spending two hours baking cookies for my niece's school's fundraiser, I packed them into a container and drove to the school. When I got there, the teacher looked confused and said the fundraiser was next Saturday. By the time the actual date arrived, every cookie had been eaten by my family. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could borrow $20 since I don’t get paid until Friday. She responded with, “Why don’t you return those packages that arrived this week from your online shopping sprees?” FML

Cub Scouts are really little kids right? If he is like 10 or younger you should have been keeping tabs on the money all the time. If he is older like middle school aged just make him do chores untill he works off the money you had to pay, thats what my parents would have done to me.

You left a little kid in charge of the money? And to those who have said "they're trying to teach him responsibility," they should start out with a goldfish. Not an envelope full of other people's money. YDI.

Fail. You shouldn't have let it happen. I bet he stole it, actually- decided to keep it himself 'cause he knew you'd pay for it... and then he has tons of moneyy. It happens.

you definately deserved it, for annoying your neighbors with dumb sales. For all the people saying to make the kid get a job...what companies are hiring 8 year olds these days? I certainly hope you arent expecting the same neighbors that bought popcorn to pay for an 8 years to do half assed jobs raking their leaves
