Kids: Today, during dinner, my daughter rudely cut into my conversation...

Today, during dinner, my daughter rudely cut into my conversation and gushed that she's "like, totally" going to audition for a reality TV show next year, after I pay her way. Five minutes into her jaw-dropping stupidity, I had to physically restrain myself from slapping her out of her chair. FML

Today, I told my daughter that she wasn't allowed to eat in her room, so she sat at the table and glared at me for 10 minutes while she ate. She's 15. FML

Today, I saw my 4 year-old daughter singing and dancing, so I decided to sing along. As soon as I started singing she said, without blinking her eyes and super calmly, "Could you please stop doing that?" FML

Today, I told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML

Today, my mother gave me a reprimand for my table manners when I didn't ask for someone to pass the vegetables I could have gotten myself. She then let out a raunchy fart at the table, and had the nerve to yell, "Did you ask to be excused?!" as I vacated the area. FML

Today, my sister commented that she wants to audition for The Voice and that she’s sure she’ll make it to the finals. I said, “You have to have raw talent to do so.” I realized the severity of my comment too late as she teared up and stormed out of the room. My mom took my Macbook and car keys away. FML

Today, my young daughter came up to me, grabbed my face and said, "I'm putting you in the garbage." When I laughed and asked why, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "You are trash." FML

You shouldn't have restrained yourself. You should have just gone with your instincts. Never second guess your gut feeling OP.

Well don't you sound pretty vain, arrogant, and selfish with that comment. The normal teenage isn't that bad, it's the few that are that ruin our reputation.

Stuck up, snooty, and pretentious? At least she apparently has the right personality for the shows... /sarcasm

I'm guessing she's a teenager, in which case, she'll probably grow out of it. If she's an adult, then you shouldn't have restrained yourself.

You raised that. You allowed that behavior. And wanting to hurt your own child that badly is very serious. Do you realize that you want to hurt your child because of behavior that you raised? Do you not hear how ridiculous this FML is?

Contrary to rumor, children have something called "free will", and can choose to disobey their parents.

A slap won't seriously hurt her. Yeah it'll sting but it won't leave a bruise. One slap isn't child abuse. From the sound of it, she's never been disciplined in her life and a slap could have been good.

For things like these is that we have so many stupid teenagers. Why is everyone so sensitive about these things? I got slapped by my mother in more than one occasion for being an idiot and crossing lines; that does NOT mean she abused me. If a parent constantly uses physical violence and that's their only form of discipline, well, that's abuse in my book, but one slap won't kill her or scar her for life. .

The fact that op had to physically there selfs from hitting there kid makes u wonder of it would be one slap or a beat down both are wrong .. Also kids will be kids teens will be teens but they only person op needs to blame is there self

65 - If OP's brat child did try to turn daddy in for one slap, she could be accused for making it up because no lasting evidence could be proven like a bruise. And I'd bet she's spoiled with expensive "toys". Which wouldn't help. But still, the parents would be questioned and SHOULD be furious at their child for overreacting and taking such drastic measures. In my opinion, physical discipline isn't bad as long as it isn't resorted to all the time and doesn't leave bruises or other serious injury. My ass got beat whenever I was caught sucking my thumb because my parents tried everything else to get me to stop. Spanking me got me to stop and the five years of braces was my punishment.
