Warranties don't cover kids, do they?
Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML

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

Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

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, after being fed up with my sarcastic, mouthy daughter, I decided to remove her TV from her room. I dropped it on my foot and broke two toes. She promptly said, "That's what you get." FML

Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML

Today, my four year old got mad that he couldn't find his favorite character on the Wii. So, he decided to smash the Wii remote into my $700 LCD TV, shattering the screen. That was the only TV in the house, and the $80 service plan I bought doesn't cover accidental damage. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs carrying a huge TV. Don't worry, my body cushioned the TV's fall. FML

Today, I took my two-year-old daughter to the dentist for her first check-up. We were at the front desk when she tripped, fell and chipped her front tooth on the marble floor. FML

Today, at work, I had to help a teenager who was stuck in a toy car for kids, and no, it was not in one piece when she finally got out. FML

Today, I was woken up by my TV falling down. Good news: It still works. Bad news: I don't know how it happened, so I'm worried it could happen again at any time and potentially break for real. FML

Today, my son ruined our fairly new 60 inch smart TV by giving it a bath with his squirt gun. FML

Don’t finance a dang tv. They aren’t even that expensive now. Stupid.

You have a 2 year old and the TV is within her reach? Kinda asked for that one.

Maybe OP put it on her credit card and hasn't yet paid off this month's balance (in full), hmm?

Financing a TV or buying it on a card with an unpaid balance are equally stupid. Same thing. Either buy one outright when you have the money or don't buy one.

^This. YDI for buying stuff you cant afford.

Um, paying off your monthly credit card balance in full *IS* the same as paying in cash. DUH!
stickyface 17
...which is why I said "unpaid balance". If the TV is less than an month old and you just haven't paid the monthly credit card bill yet, I supposed you could say that it "isn't even paid off yet" but generally you'd just say it's brand new. The implication is that the TV was financed and they're still making payments on a broken TV. Which is, again, stupid.

You need a screen protector on the TV (they sold them for the wii motes) or parent better not to have the child touch the TV. You can check your warranty, but I think it's voided if an object is thrown at the TV

Don’t have children, eh? Or read? The child DIDN’t touch the tv, they fell. Something anyone — adult or child — can do.

I can't have children, and I mount my TV to the entertainment center so it's much harder to fall into it, or need to walk close to it.

We mounted ours but kids still throw crap. I completely agree but OP maybe be in an apartment where you can't mount anything to a wall. :(

Why bought a huge tv if couldn’t afford to pay in full. They are not expensive, unlike cars or houses.

That sucks but don't buy things on payments. you pay more in the long run. or if you do, get the insurance they usually like to offer. hopefully lesson learned
