Same thing different taste

Today, the 4-year-old I was babysitting came up to me all happy, saying she went to the bathroom like a "big girl". Knowing she was just potty trained, I asked if she'd remembered to flush. Looking at me confused, she said, "But it's in my room." 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, my daughter didn't clean the bathroom today, even though I told her yesterday that she needed to do it. She claims she forgot, because, she’s "slept since then.” FML

Today, my 4 year old daughter walked in while I was changing my shirt. She said "When I get older I am going to have big boobies just like you." I'm her dad. FML

So unfair

Today, my mom asked my siblings and me for help cleaning the kitchen. After working for a half hour while all my siblings sat on the couch, I pointed out that I was the only one working. My mom thanked my siblings for not having attitudes like mine and sent me to my room. FML

Today, my daughter was putting clothes in the drier when she yelled, "Mom!! The drier won't start!" I had to explain to her that the door needed to be shut. Her response, "Oh. I didn't know that mattered." She's 15. FML

Today, my daughter had an anxiety attack. Why? Because I told her she needs to be making her bed every day. FML

Kids repeat what they've been told. Unfortunately I have to say to take a look at how you talk to your daughter. If it's not you or your household, check what's going on at daycare/preschool. Nip it in the bud!

A. What the **** is the issue with all of these ******* ***** getting upset over some little phrase, that is not even in the slightest bit rude? Just because your parents abused you for little to no reason, doesn't mean that you should do it. I mean for **** sakes, you think it's okay to beat a child for saying a little phrase? You ******* miserable ***** need to stop being so sensitive and irrational and be decent. Beating someone is no way to show you love them, in fact, Child Protective Services would love to tell you that, you miserable asshole shrews. Your so ******* irrational, it makes me sick. B. Is a four year old even capable of cleaning a room properly? Why don't you get off your own lazy ass and do it yourself, asshole? C. If I ever met anyone so Kate Gosslin as you, I would curb your ass, you ******* ****.

Today, I wanted to show my friends my cat’s “high-five” trick. I held out my hand, and instead of a high-five, my cat scratched and bit me instead. I yelped, and my friends burst into laughter. I had to bandage my hand, all whilst they joked about “cat training.” FML

Today, my laptop was slow so I used my husband’s laptop. I went to the bedroom and found it opened, so I moved the trackpad and it powered on. The first thing I see is a page with redhead porn, and another tab with nude redheads. You know who else is a redhead? The new girl at his job he tells me not to worry about. FML
