Family, Death and Kids: Strong bonds

Strong bonds

Today, my 6 year-old daughter asked, "What would happen to me if you and daddy died?" I told her that she'd probably live with her Uncle Ant and Aunt Ilene. She looked at me and said, "You guys can die. I won't cry. I get everything I want over there." FML

Today, my four-year-old asked me when I was going to die. I replied "Not for a long time, why?" He looked at me and stated "Because I only want to live with Daddy." FML

Today, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML

Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML

Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML

Today, I have to figure out how to explain to my 6 year-old daughter when she gets home from school that she won’t be having a birthday party anymore, because she caught daddy having it off with the babysitter, and now we have nowhere to live. FML

Today, I tried to comfort my daughter who'd been crying non-stop for hours. She thinks Chuck Norris is coming to kill her, and I can't convince her otherwise. FML

Why is everyone so negative on this? your daughter is six, dont take what she said seriously. As people have said she just doesnt know what death means and how much she needs you guys when growing up. #45 - some mothers can be useless, and #26 is not immature/ungrateful. so dont say things like that. You dont know the entire situation I am 15 years old andd I dont know what i would do without both of my parents. Well my dad, I could live without him, but i only see him every other weekend.

The best part of this FML is that his name is Uncle Ant. Seriously.

That's when you tell her nevermind, she's going to an orphanage and then make her watch Annie.
