Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML
Today, I got my 11-year old son the NERF Elite 2.0 Shockwave RD-15 Blaster that he has been begging for as his birthday gift. Guess who the primary target is. FML
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. 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 carefully wrapped my nephew's birthday present so it would look perfect. He thanked me, pushed it aside, and spent the next two hours pretending the empty cardboard box was a spaceship. FML
Today, I went to visit some family out of state for my niece's birthday. I couldn't think of what to get an 8-year-old so I got her a Barbie doll. Everyone else got her money, iPods, game consoles, etc. When she got to mine she asked "how do I turn it on?" Then threw it away when she couldn't. FML
Today, I bought my son a nice car for his 18th birthday. When I gave it to him, he just got mad and told me that if I really wanted to spend that much money on him, I should've used it to help him pay for college. FML
Today, my 12 year old son came home from school and informed me that he bought an air guitar for $20. He honestly thinks this is a good price. FML
Today, I gave my 7-year-old a snowglobe. I had spent the last week deconstructing it, putting an action figure of his favorite cartoon character inside, and then putting it back together. Later, I find it smashed into pieces because he wanted to "play with the toy it came with." FML
Today, I invited my boss and his family over for dinner. As usual, I bought his kids Christmas' presents, nothing too fancy though. This year, he had one more that wasn't here last year. So I just pulled something from under the tree to hand him. He opened it on the spot. It was my son's PS3. FML

I heard on the radio the other day, while driving to work. That kids these days, between the ages of 6 and twelve I believe, want ipads and iPhones for birthdays and Christmas. When I was a kid, my parents could barely afford the nerf gun this kid got.

I count my blessings when my son answers "whatever you like" when asked what he wants. His letter to Santa asked for time to bake cookies and have fun with his family.

Wow. You know what I wanted for my 8th birthday? A parakeet. Little jerk.

What a little brat! You know what I got for my 8th birthday? Chocolate. And I was the happiest damn kid in the world. Don't get him anything next year, and when he asks why, tell him he's already spoiled rotten. Any more spoiling and he'll shrivel up and disappear.

He's a ungrateful and spoiled little brat! This Christmas don't get him anything, he will ask why he didn't get any presents, and you can reply with:“ Son, you were not very nice before Christmas so that's why you haven't received any gifts, or a stocking.”

You couldn't kill a Smurf with a Nerf. What he really wanted was an official Red Rider Carbine Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

That's a movie reference... Very smart idea! I applaud you for using that reference to a Christmas story... I think...
