Today, after weeks of practice, I proudly did 9 chin-ups on my chin-up bar. As soon as I was done, my 11-year-old daughter came over and banged out 12 of them. Then she wiped her sweaty hands off and did 8 more. Then she gave me pointers on my technique. FML

Today, while I was getting ready for the day, my 5-year-old daughter looked at me and said, "Mom, maybe you should do some gymnastics today. Your legs look bigger." FML

Today, I nailed every single move in my routine at a gymnastics competition. I then finished off with a perfect split, letting out a fart loud enough to wake up a kid in China. FML

Today, I went indoor rock climbing with my uncle and his 5 year-old girl. I'm about halfway up the hardest ascent when my arm cramps up. As I stretched my arm, my cousin yells up at me in her tiny voice, "Prove you're a man and climb that wall!" I fell off. I was emasculated by a 5 year-old. FML

Today, we finished a sit-up test at school. I had been training for the athletic tests, so I was proud of my score. When someone asked what I got and I shared, proud, they responded with, "I bet it helps that your fat bounces you back up." FML

Today, after 10 years of intense training, I earned a black belt in karate. When I told my mom, she asked how long it took me, then laughed and sarcastically remarked, "Wow. SO impressive," whilst slow-clapping. FML

Kids are gross

Today, I taught my 18 month-old daughter to wipe the green, snotty mucus from under her nose with a tissue. To which, like a ninja, she then wiped my open-mouthed upper lip with that same snotty tissue. FML

Today, my daughter went potty. Just as she always does, she came up to me and announced, "I flushed, and wiped, and shut the light off." Then she did something brand new. She covered my face with her hand and asked, "Do these fingers smell?" They did. FML

Today, I was watching my 7 year old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied " Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML

Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

They're easier to do when you only weigh 100lbs.

Your daughter may in-fact, may be able to kick your ass. I'd watch taking her barbies away from her bro.

Kids have a lot easier time with this because of their body weight... It's harder the more you weigh and the less muscle you have. Keep it up though!

Instead of being ashamed of yourself, you should be proud of your daughter being able to do so many pull-ups. Is it too late to sign her up for gymnastics?

She doesn't have as much weight to pull up OP.

Kids have less weight to pull. So in the case here, it does not mean you are weaker. All it means that 100 pounds is easier to lift than 200-300 pounds. Don't feel shown up, not yet. Your daughter has the plan to show you up in every olympic even. Soon...

Give yourself a break. You're how old and how long since you did pull ups? Plus all she has to do is run and play and stay in great shape. Lets see her hold down a job, support a family, etc. Plus you can still send her to bed early if doing more pull-ups than you really irritates you.

My daughter can do more pull ups than me. Its because she has been in gymnastics since she was a toddler and also on her school's swim team. She is pretty strong for her size. Be proud OP! Your girl is strong and in shape...unlike most kids.
