Today, our family went to a water park. The park's mascot came up to greet us, and my daughter got scared. She then refused to go inside, so we had no choice but to leave. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the water park, and got in a line on a staircase to get on a waterslide. A couple of minutes in, I felt a large amount of warm liquid drip on my head. Seconds later, a crying girl was being lead down the stairs, and being told that "everyone wets themselves sometimes." FML
Today, I went to the waterpark and my kids were fighting so I grounded them both. We concluded the day by boogey boarding on a mechanical wave. There was so much water I didn't realize my boobs had completely fallen out of my bikini. As revenge, my kids didn't tell me. FML
Today, I embraced my inner child and went to a trampoline park with friends. I was having a blast until I attempted a somersault and ended up bouncing right into a group of screaming toddlers. I was escorted out by a concerned parent. FML
Today, I was working as a character at an amusement park. I was walking with another character and we went over to a baby girl. She smiled and laughed at my co-worker. When she saw me, she started screaming and crying. FML
Today, we went to an amusement park, or tried to. My idiot husband stuck his hand under his shirt like a gun and demanded free passes and "all the cash" as a joke. He's banned for life, they escorted us off the premises, and my children are inconsolable. FML
Today, I tried being the 'cool parent' by taking my kids to a fancy, expensive amusement park, but ended up getting stuck on every ride and getting motion sickness. FML
Today, I visited a waterpark with friends. At one point, a woman floating near me suddenly says to me, "How are you doing, honey?" Instinctively, I replied, "I'm well". The woman gave me a strange look and I turned around to find she was talking to her child directly behind me. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from preschool. When I got there, I ran to give her a hug. She screamed and ran away. FML
Today, my family and I went to a beach where you could swim with dolphins. I was a little scared to swim with them so the trainers had a five minute chat to me about how they were harmless creatures. Once I got in, the dolphin attacked me and bit me. FML

That's when you drag her in so the other members of your family days aren't ruined...

YDI. No one should let small children dictate to them.

Why did you leave out parenting as an option?

I agree. She would've probably also had a good time once she got there.

Option 99, Lock her in the car, and the rest of your party go have a good time. Then y'all can rub it in about the great time you had.

"Lock her in a car" - what is your problem?

I wonder what other decisions OP's daughter 'makes' by using poor behavior... Can't watch football 'cause it scares Becka. Can't eat fish 'cause Becka thinks it's Nemo. Can't wear a blue shirt 'cause Becka thinks blue is Satan's color.

Agreed, as my father always said, "you better quit crying before I give you something to cry about."

I also agree. Maybe if she saw how much fun everybody was having without her she would join in.

Lol #19. In some states it is Illegal to leave a child in a car unattended.

I'm kinda surprised your comment was so much thumbed up and I wonder how many parents were in the lot. If a little child is utterly terrified of something, you don't force them to do it. It's just plain cruel. She was not having a tantrum, she was scared of what she probably saw as a big monster. Try to relate as an adult, imagine being terrified of spiders and having to be dragged to a place where you just found out tarantulas are creeping around.

#21 That's why I skipped options 4 thru 98 Hang her upside down from a tree, ask some stranger to watch her, have her arrested.......

That is right don't let that tail wag the dog

#80 give me a BREAK! A little girl is NOT going to dictate what the other members of the family will do! Like any other kid, she'll GET OVER IT.

I was always scared of those characters. Not screaming scared, but thankfully I wasn't made to go near them. They still creep me out. Being exposed to them didn't magically cure that.

I'd have to agree with this one. It's a child, you're an adult. Drag the child in, within about 10 minutes she'll have found something to have fun with. FYL that your kid is scared, but YDI for letting your kid dictate what you do.

Should've ignored her and just go inside. I'm sure she would have been thankful afterwards.
JMichael 26
I'm sure she would have been fine after going inside and seeing all the fun things to do.
jerryj 27
How can you be "sure" of that? Do you know OP's daughter personally?

15, most young kids are happy at water parks..
thomcmoore 23
15, really? I'm sure that she, as would any other child, would've been happy if her parents ran the show instead of her.

I would have assured her she'll have fun once you go inside..

Ummm pretty sure she would have have tried that first.
