Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Collection
Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML
Today, my husband and I have been trying to buy a house and start a family together. Now I find out that he just spent $5000 on comic books. FML
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. FML
Today, I got home and found all my things thrown out into the yard, including the stuff from my mancave, which I spent thousands of dollars on. Apparently, my girlfriend stopped for a visit while my wife was home. I’d stupidly given her a key. Turns out my wife called out sick today. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI - your valuable collection should be put away somewhere where two-year-old can't reach it and for you to leave obviously too much of housekeeping/parenting on your wife. Your home and your family too, remember?

And you didn't toddler-proof your home because...? For all you know the child could have found the comic books after your wide fell asleep... I'm assuming your wife doesn't look at them and because they were collectors items you don't typically have them out in the open. So, this isn't her fault... this is yours. You need to put valuables away where kids can't reach them.

3 words for you: divorce and orphanage

What the ****?! Seriously??? There's no need to divorce the wife; it's not necessarily her fault. She may not have known the comics were in reach of the child since she's probably not the one who looks at them, and the kid probably found them after she'd fallen asleep. Most parents will make sure nothing's in the way that their child can get into if they decide to take a nap... while napping while babysitting isn't a good idea, if there was nothing the kid could get into there's really no problem. There's no need to put the damn kid in an orphanage just because he tore up a comic book. He's ******* two. He's not going to know the value or what it is, he was just curious as any other two year old is. **** you. I hope you never have kids or get married. It'll save you a lot of money.
