Today, while my husband was at work, he missed our son saying his first word ("Dada"), taking his first steps and smashing the widescreen TV with a well-aimed teddy bear. Care to guess which of these three things made my husband cry. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was upset after a fight with my husband, so I cried alone in the bedroom. My 4-year-old son then comes in and hugs me. I thought he was trying to comfort me, but he then told me he had to go get his quarter my husband had promised to pay him if he made me shut up. FML
Today, when I got home from the store, the dog was wiping his ass on the carpet, my two older boys were brawling, my youngest was crying because he'd broken a glass and cut himself, and my husband was in the kitchen, eating the cake I'd told him to leave alone. FML
Today, my husband and I sat our 8 year-old son down and gently explained to him that I had a miscarriage and he won't be having a little brother or sister after all. He responded by dancing around the room and celebrating. FML
Today, my little girl spoke her first word. It was ''Daddy." Daddy left before she was born and she has never met him before. FML
Today, my son took his very first steps. Unfortunately, it was during my sister's wedding. She had a full-blown bridezilla meltdown over how he "stole her spotlight". FML
Today, my husband and son had their first DIY project. Less than 30 minutes later, our son’s crying in his room. Turns out my husband is just like his dad. “WHY ARE YOU STANDING DOING NOTHING? PASS ME THE THING. NOT THAT THING, THE OTHER THING. HERE, I’LL DO IT MYSELF. PAY ATTENTION, GOD DAMMIT.” FML
Today, I was reduced to a blubbering mess at my baby shower. My mom bought tons of clothes, bibs, etc. Sounds nice right? Well, they all had sayings like "Daddy’s Little Princess" and "Daddy’s Girl." She knows full well my fiancé quit his job, changed his number, and disappeared without a trace 3 months ago. FML
Today, I left my husband in charge of the house for a day. When I returned, I saw him gaming through the window, so I stormed in and yelled at him. Then, my eyes adjusted, and I saw the neatly folded laundry, clean kitchen, vacuumed rugs, and my son, who was asleep until I woke him. Whoops. FML
Today, I accidentally hit my dad in the eye with our dead dog's squeaky toy. He cried. FML
Today, my husband gave our three-year-old son a lesson on life and death. He did this by slaughtering our pet chicken for dinner in front of him. My son has been crying for hours. FML

I think any reasonable person would cry the same way your husband did. Yes, first words are pretty adorable (as are first steps), but there will be plenty of those (not first, but words and steps) to go around for the rest of his life. The TV probably cost money to get and it will cost even more to replace. So, yeah, I think his reaction was perfectly normal.

Tv's are expensive and with a new baby he probably can't afford another one. You have got to remember this tv is likely the only escape, or free time activity he'll have for a while in between looking after the child. First words are great but the kid will walk and talk and those memories are priceless, a tv isn't and will cost a lot to replace.

A mixture of the good things made him cry right?

Well obviously the TV. The other 2 are sad indeed, but the TV could really break the bank. Which could be very tough with a newborn. Then again, a TV is a luxury item, not a necessity.

Can't say I blame him

My very correct and in no way sarcastic guess would be missing the first steps

How did he break the TV with a teddy bear?

I'm female, and having my widescreen tv broken by a toddler, even if it is my own child, would still make me cry. However, I am super broke and wouldn't be able to replace it is why I would cry. I would probably cry and permanently take the teddy bear away from the kid, and then we could cry together over the loss of our toys.

Young children are great at utilizing soft objects to do damage. Just saying.
