Today, I gave my 7-year-old a snowglobe. I had spent the last week deconstructing it, putting an action figure of his favorite cartoon character inside, and then putting it back together. Later, I find it smashed into pieces because he wanted to "play with the toy it came with." FML

Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. 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, I made a snowman with my little sister. We spent ages rolling snowballs and decorating it with a scarf and hat. When we'd finished, she hugged it so hard that it collapsed. She cried, so I promised to build another one. It’s been three hours, my fingers are numb, but her smile is worth it. FML

Today, I made my first snowman ever, and then cried when my big brother kicked it to pieces. I'm 27. FML

Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. 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, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML

Today, I gave my nephew a toy car as a gift. He opened it, looked at it for two seconds, and then spent the next hour playing with the cardboard box it came in. Apparently, I could’ve saved $20 and just bought him a box. FML

Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML

Today, I was working at my retail job. A customer stopped me on my way to break saying "someone" had broken a snow globe. She showed me where it was and I cleaned it up with her circling me. I finished and put the cleaning supplies away when I heard a 'crash' as the same woman dropped another snow globe. FML

shouldn't a 7 year old know NOT to do shit like that?

That by the age of 7, they understand not to break gifts. Before I was 7, I knew perfectly well what a snowglobe was and that they were not meant to be broken for the item inside. I had, and still have, a certain nicely made one that I always thought was pretty. Her son may not have liked the gift as much as I liked mine, that's fine, but it doesn't give him an excuse to smash it. My thought is that, like any other mentally competent 7 year old, he knew what he was doing, he's just a little brat who doesn't appreciate what people give to him.

Well, you could've been done with it quicker by telling the kid no and watching as he shattered it right in front of you (or quickly behind your back). Even for mature squirts, giving out snow globes as present can be a bad idea.

Why would you give a 7 yr old a snowglobe?

YDI for raising your son to be a spoilt brat.

Oh, well. You should have just given the child the toy then. Save all that other treasured bullshit for when he's older.

That stinnnkkkss. D; I see that you just wanted to give him something he'd treasure, but you're talking about a 7 year old BOY. Young girls would treasure things like that. Little boys like toys and to play with things. *nods*

Aww that sucks :( But he is only seven so probably didn't understand. Don't take it personally. :)

That would be the last time I'd try and put together any kind of nice gift for that little idiotic brat. To see a kid who's actually genuinely GRATEFUL for a gift, look up the grateful kid on YouTube who got an XBox 360 for his birthday. Through tears, he says, "Thank you! Thank you so much! This...this must have cost you a fortune!" And then you have this 7 year old dullard smashing a snow globe.

I'm sure the OP's kid would have been equally grateful if he got an Xbox 360 instead of a snowglobe. It would have been a different FML (and your comment would have made sense) if the OP had written "today, I have my 7 year old son an Xbox 360 for his birthday and he smashed it to bits."
