Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my 4-year-old daughter slipped on ceramic tile and I had to take her to the ER for 5 stitches to her chin. When we got home, I promptly split her chin open again as I over enthusiastically re-enacted how she fell to my husband and accidentally clocked her square in the chin. FML

Duty
Today, I passed out. I fell to the hardwood floor, cut my chin, and bit through my lip. Fortunately, my brother was there to help stop the bleeding and get me some water. All I had to do was wait until he finished his game of Call of Duty. FML

Today, I walked outside, slipped, busted my head, and had to get 7 stitches. Turns out my son thought it would be funny to spray the sidewalk with water last night so it would freeze. He got a laugh, and I spent over $100 on the stitches. FML

Nature ain't all that great
Today, I was helping my boyfriend in the garden. When I wanted to break a piece of wood, I lost my balance. Head first against a stone. Result: five stitches in my upper lip, and a loose tooth. FML

Today, my youngest son thought that RedBull actually gave him wings. What it actually gave him was a trip to the ER and 7 stitches. It also gave me a meeting with social services. FML

Freak out
Today, after a very painful mouth surgery, I went home to take a nap. Then my nose started bleeding, so I stuck a tissue in it and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was so high from painkillers that when I saw the tissue, I thought it was a ghost. I screamed so loud I burst a stitch. FML

Today, I had to be go to the ER after I fell on a rake. After having stiches put in, my Mom wanted me to go to the store with her. My friend saw me at the store and thought it would be funny to rip off the band aid because she thought I was hiding a zit. She ripped out my stitches. FML

Today, I had to pick my 22-year-old son up from the hospital, after he got blind drunk, got his hand stuck in a Pringles can, and got the bright idea of staggering to the local ER to get it cut off. FML

Today, I ran up to my boyfriend to kiss him when he got home from work. I tripped and I fell on him, and he fell backwards. He ended up hitting his head on the sidewalk and had to get stitches. He also had a concussion. FML

Today, I received a serious concussion and several stitches to the back of my head. The attacker? My mom. FML

Jeez, people. Obviously, none of you have kids who have been injured and/or sensitivity to blood and wounds. People faint at the sight of blood sometimes, or they get upset and overwhelmed when their kid has been hurt. I say FYL, OP. But at least your son got through it.

#18: That says nothing about how well she takes care of him. He could have gotten hurt in the schoolyard, or at a friend's house, or the house of another family member. Obviously you never had any accidents as a kid.

Oh, that's not so bad. Some people faint when they see blood, and it's nothing to be that ashamed of. Sometimes it's even an advantage. I had once hurt my arm falling on my bike and my dad suggested my mom take me to the ER to get some stitches. I just went with it because the wound looked so disgusting I couldn't look at it. When I got to the ER I made the mistake of looking, and pretty immediately fainted. Turns out when you lose consciousness they're forced to think you either have a fractured bone, concussion or internal bleeding. I had none of those, and I told them, but they had to check it out immediately, and when they realised nothing serious was wrong, they figured out they might as well clean it and stitch it up immediately so I could get home. I spend 5-10 minutes waiting in the ER that day, normally a trip to the ER can take around 5-6 hours. And on a different occasion when I was much younger, my mom fainted in the ER while they were fixing the nail on my thumb. I never thought any the less of her for that.

YDI for posting a shitty non-FML.

Obviously, none of these posters are parents. You have no idea how gut-wretching it is to see your child hurt. OP, I can sympathize with you on this. I can keep it together until the emergency is over, then I fall to pieces.

I don't have a kid, but my sister busted her upper lip by jumping on the couch, falling, and hitting our heater unit. She was bleeding, crying, and had to get it glued together. I've never been so freaked out in my entire life. I ended up crying too because I was scared and, as I said, freaked out. People need to quit being so heartless. Having someone you love, ESPECIALLY your own child, get hurt is awful.
