Today, after saving up for weeks, I bought myself an iPad. Because mine is better than the one my parents bought my ten-year-old brother, he got pissed and threw it into our pool. I'm now grounded for getting angry and calling him a bastard in the aftermath. FML

Today, my dad borrowed my new iPad to amuse him while he was in the shower without my knowledge. The iPad is now completely ruined, and my dad is refusing to buy me a new one. He says, "How was I to know that it wasn't waterproof?" FML

Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML

Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML

Today, while mopping the kitchen, I ended up slipping and and knocked over the table that had my mom’s iPad on it. The screen shattered; I sprained my wrist. I asked my mom to take me to the ER. She called me "selfish" because her iPad screen repair would "cost more." FML

Today, my little brother got mad at me, so he colored the entire screen of my new iPod Touch with a black sharpie. FML

Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. FML

Today, I got grounded for 2 weeks for slapping my brother after he threw a baseball at my head and hit my shin with a bat. He’s in 9th grade and I'm in 8th. He got ice cream to "cheer him up". FML

Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Today, my dad's new girlfriend's daughter came over with them. She had a tantrum because my brand new computer, which I worked and saved for, was better than her notebook, which was bought for her. So what did she do? Oh, she threw it off my desk. For some reason I'm being yelled at. FML

If that's all you did, I admire your restraint.

Spoiled much? Our generation...

People from other generations were spoiled, too.

Agree with 300. Granted... I wish when I was living with my parents I could make enough money to buy an IPad after saving for only a few weeks... But anyways, what makes you think he's spoiled? There is a difference between being well off and spoiled. I do not see anything in this post that leads me to believe OP is spoiled.

What a little prick!! I'd shove his ass in there and tell him to fish it out himself. Sounds like something my friends younger brother would do. Try putting it in a bowl full of rice OP, that is if you didn't just sit there and watch it sink.

At first I thought you said you would shove a fish in his ass.

The reason you got grounded was not just because you called him a bastard. It was because your parents didn't want your little "brother" to know his true origins.

I hope you bought AppleCare because you don't have ParentCare. You don't even have ParentGiveAShit.

Well that explains my entire childhood. I wish I'd had the option to purchase ParentCare when I was younger. Young people have it so easy nowadays; one click and automatic parental affection.

For a few bucks more, you can buy ParentCare+, where you get all the benefits of ParentCare, plus they bring you hot girls right to your house. It sucks for girls, because your parents just bring home massive nerds.

Well that explains my love life too; I've just been too cheap for my own good. I'm definitely going to invest in ParentCare+.

Wow, I admire you because my brother and I would have been fighting, punching, kicking, and slapping. I would have earned that grounding. What kind of spoiled evil brat throws someone's stuff away like that?
