Today, I took my son to the playground and watched him have fun. Minutes later, I was being shoved around and called a pedophile because I was there alone with no wife. By the time I convinced them I was innocent, my son was bawling. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a woman accused my husband of being a pedophile because he was at the playground with our daughter alone. To make matters worse, our daughter punched the woman in the face, so now she's pressing charges. FML
Today, I got pushed around by several suspicious mothers in a playground. I just wanted to sit down and rest my feet while I waited for my wife to finish her shopping across the street. FML
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Today, I took my child to the park. Having been there an hour, another mum came up to me and we started talking. She then told me that one kid had been harassing her children, pointing to my child. When she asked which one was mine I pointed to a random kid. It was hers. FML
Today, I got yelled at and called a pedo by a mother after I sat down in a swing next to her daughter. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I'm a 20 year old who really does enjoy swinging in my spare time. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to the local park for some romantic time together. By the time we left, I'd been called a pedo and a cradle robber, and been given several dirty looks. I'm 31. My boyfriend is 30 and just very baby-faced. FML
Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML
Today, I took my kids to the park. I saw my daughter playing with a kid who looked familiar. Turns out he was my ex’s son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I thought it was cute they played so well together, until my ex’s new girlfriend came over, screaming that I was trying to use my kid to get to her man. FML
Today, I took my four year old son to the playground. When it was time to go, he squirmed out of my arms back to the jungle gym. Not being the type of mother to put up with bad behavior, I swatted his rear and told him we had to go. That's when I realized I'd just spanked the wrong child who was wearing the same coat as my son. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML

It's such a sad and messed up world when a father can't take his own child to a park without being accused of something so horrendous.

Some people really need to mind their own business.

Get an 'I'm a father not a paedophile' T-shirt printed?... That should fix that problem. You're welcome :P

Or you know, we can teach people that a father can be equally loving to a child as a mother...

Or you know, we can take everything serious and never take the piss out of a situation...

This is FML where everyone takes everything way too seriously. pretty ironic considering this is supposed to be a funny and non-serious site.

People are always so quick to make assumptions and judge . it's unfortunate that society is like that . On a good note, hope your day with your son was fantastic !

Unfortunately, the day didn't sound very "fantastic" to me. Poor guy, and poor kid!
Cassandra2015 21
I'm pretty sure their day was fantastic despite their little incident, smart ass. Any parent will do their best to make sure their child is happy and do what they can to turn things around and have a positive outlook on things ..
Cassandra2015 21
.... and by having a positive outlook on things, I am referring to anything in general not what occurred at the playground

I really don't think #53 was trying to be a smart ass...

I grew up with a guardian father. no mother. and people always asked "does he do anything sexual to you or your brother"? I say no. they would say "because a man who gets guardianship of two kids has to be some kind of pedophile". I would just get angry. females can be pedophiles too but no one seems to ask them about it. I really hope that you are having a better day with your son OP :)

That's what Micheal Jackson was wrongly accused of.. He was a great living legend !! But someone had greed for his money

You shouldn't have down votes for this comment. It's 100% correct.

The second he started bawling was a great moment to guilt trip the people. Protective father + crying child = you ****** up bad, and you need to apologize. If they don't, then they are complete assholes.

And then when you don't show up in your kid's life, they call you a douchebag dad.

I really am sick of seeing stuff like this?! Yet if a random woman was sitting there watching they'd say nothing. Equal rights for both parents! Yes I am a woman but God I hate ones that are like that

There is a double standard in the perception of men and women when it comes to interactions with kids The real lesson here should be possessing a dick, doesn't automatically make you a dick!
