Dentist, Phobias and Kids: Not too fond of the chair

Not too fond of the chair

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my son threw the biggest fit in history about going to the dentist. He broke a whole stack of plates, overflowed the bathtub, let the dog loose, and kicked his father when he tried to calm him down. My son is 17. FML

I'm a rebel, mom!

Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML

Today, my son threw a temper tantrum and told me I “should have aborted him” and threatened to run away from home. Why? Because I nicely asked him to share his french fries with his sister. My son is 17. FML

Today, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. FML

Today, my 15-year-old son got so enraged at a fly that kept harassing him, that he ended up slapping himself in the face as it flew by him. This caused him to fall out of his chair, at which point he broke down into a mess of tears, humiliating me in front of everyone. FML

Today, my 14 year-old daughter threw a massive fit over showering. She dislodged the shower curtain rod and threatened to beat us with it if we ever force her to shower again. FML

Today, my son thought it was a good idea to spray deodorant into his mouth because he wanted fresh breath. This resulted in him passing out. My son is 17. FML

Today, I was taking a dump, when my dad shouted for me to go wash the dishes. Fed up with his constant shit, I told him to bite me. He took this as an invitation to wedge the bathroom door shut for nearly two hours, despite all my pleas and apologies. FML

Sounds like someone still needs his ass whooped! I understand he's 17, but if you want to act like a child than you should be treated like a child!

If he doesn't want to go to the dentist then don't make him. He is an adult, he will have to live with the consequences when he's in terrible pain from a shit load of cavities or when his teeth are rotting out of his head. Your son is an absolute brat.

He's not an adult yet. However, if he wants to be treated like one, tell him he can start by paying for the damages.

Haha I can understand that. I'm scared to death of going to the dentist!

Time to bring out the belt... Tell him he's not getting any Novocain for that treatment!

Am I the only one who thinks the parent in this case should back off? He's 17! In Texas he would legally be an adult, and even if he weren't, he's certainly old enough to make decisions regarding the welfare of his own body. Yes he acted like a brat, but how many times did he tell you he didn't want to go before that? He's too old for you to be demanding such things on your parental power trips.

You are the only one. It doesn't matter how old he is; if he lives in his parents' house, they provide food and shelter for him, and even have the ability to take him to the dentist and wish to do so, then he has the obligation to listen and respect his parents' wishes. "My house, my rules," per say. If he is 17, he is acting like a child, and no wonder they need to convince him to go to the dentist; he probably doesn't take care of himself of his own accord. If he IS an adult (under "Texas rule"), then he can move out and support himself like an adult. A parental power trip simply to take him to the dentist? Hahahaha. He's most likely not even out of high school...
