Today, I had to take my daughter home from school because she had been caught flashing the boys during class. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't an appropriate way to act or behave but she interrupted me, "Mom, you don't even understand." You're right. I don't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML
Today, our little family business was asked to do a presentation at my daughter's school. When we got there and I saw her, I waved to her happily but she totally blanked me, plus my super strict mom smacked me on the back of the head for embarrassing her by not acting professionally while I was technically working. FML
Today, after having bought my daughter a complete set of new school clothes, she threw a tantrum and refused to wear them. I told her she could either wear them, or go to school naked. She made if half-way down the street in the nude before I caught up and dragged her back inside. FML
Today, my daughter is still acting out her teenage issues. This morning, when I told her to, "Have a nice day" she screamed at me, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML

This needs a follow up for the daughter's age.

Did you bother to let her explain? For all you know, things may not have been what they seemed.

I believe her explanation was. "You just don't understand"

Sorry but to me this sounds like a teenager that did it just for the attention!

**** star in the making! But seriously, your daughter should know it is not right by any circumstance to flash others.

How old is your daughter I think is the big question here...

You were told she was flashing. You dressed her down for it. She says you don't understand. i didn't see the bit where you asked her about the truth of the allegation, the full circumstances or her reasoning.

So are you suggesting that there are appropriate reasons and/or circumstances for a child to expose themselves to their classmates in the middle of class? Please do enlighten us, because try as I might I can't think of any.
John_in_Oz 12
No, I'm not suggesting that. I most certainly am suggesting that someone might be leaping to wrong conclusions, and oh look, you just did. The point is obvious. Why does the mother assume she's heard the full story just because the school told it to her? Classmates sometimes lie, teachers sometimes mistake students, wardrobe malfunctions sometimes genuinely happen, stories sometimes get exaggerated. 'Telegraph' from maybe student to teacher to headmaster to secretary to mother can misreport things. When the daughter replies "Mum you just don't understand." It's perfectly possible that the mother doesn't understand. Where is the bit where the mother asked about the truth of the claim, the full circumstances or her daughter's reasoning? Without that information, the mother does not understand, even if it turns out the school was telling the full truth. At the end of the day it might turn out that the daughter's behaviour was actually inappropriate- but you can't claim to understand if you have no idea what the student meant to happen, what she thinks happened, and what it looked like from her perspective.

I hope you have listened to her side as to why and actually what she did before lecturing her about being inappropriate. Would be nice to see a followup on what her actual reasoning was.
