Today, following a 6-hour roundtrip after having lost both games from a baseball doubleheader, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my 4-year-old son was still up. After updating him on the day's results, he went off to bed with the words, "Good night, loser." FML

Today, in the middle of an argument with my wife, our autistic son started calling out tennis scores, which turned out to be his way of keeping score of who was winning the argument. Apparently, by the end, it was 40-love approaching server's deuce point, which I think means I lost the argument badly. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML

Sleepless in Singapore

Today, I was having trouble sleeping due to jet lag. I was finally sleepy and looking forward to a decent night of rest when my 4 year-old woke up and refused to stay in his room or try to rest. The next two hours involved him shouting at me, kicking me, and crying because he wanted Daddy, who is on a business trip. FML

Today, after twelve straight hours of work, my fourteen year old son surprised me with a broken window and a cracked TV. He said, "I was swatting away a fly." FML

Today, my 7-year-old son proudly announced that he had laid an egg during the night. I checked. He'd simply shat the bed. FML

Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML

Strange parenting

Today, for the fourth day in a row, my nine year-old son dragged his feet when it’s bedtime with any excuse he can come up with. He keeps getting up an hour later to tell me a story. No punishment, nothing works. I gave up and offered him $300, yes $300 cash, to go to sleep. He said no and ran to bed crying, saying I upset him. FML

Today, my son displayed an interest in chess, and asked me to teach him to play. Five minutes in, I captured his queen. He screamed "SCREW THIS STUPID GAME", slammed his fist down on his pieces, and started crying because of the pain. He's fourteen years-old. FML

Today, I picked up my four year old son from daycare. As I was putting him in his car seat, I asked him if he had fun. He yelled, "Shut it, bitch!" FML

Today, my son climbed into our bed because he'd had a nightmare. He and my wife spent hours whispering and giggling like they were at a slumber party. Cute, until the next morning, when they were both tired, grumpy, and uncooperative. FML

You need to teach him some manners.

Perhaps he did not have any ill intent but was merely being truthful. Or he was just being a little arse. Either way FYL.

Teach him that its okay to lose. Nothings wrong with losing once in a while:p

Can someone reword this for me? I probably sound stupid for asking but the way he set this FML up is confusing.

I'm not big on sports but I'll try to decide it. OP plays baseball, sounds like in a recreational league, drove three hours out of town to play in two games, back to back. OP's team lost both games, OP drove three more hours, apparently somewhat late at night, to get back home. OP's young son was still awake, and after conversation referred to OP as "loser" on the way to bed.

What a little ass. You need to put a stop to that. Young he might be, but if he thinks he can talk to his parents that way, he'll be worse wth strangers.

Just saying it's a good story when he gets married.

Remind him losing is better than quitting.

Well maybe he is teaching him to be frank upfront and honest. He is a man who lost twice thus making him a loser. My kid calls me a trucker it takes all kinds to go around.

If he meant "loser" as in "pathetic", what a little shit. If he meant "loser" in the sense that you had lost your baseball games, then... Perhaps it's a correctable word choice? I don't know, either way he needs a talking to!
