Today, I decided to scare my 10 year old sister for fun. I hid behind a door and leapt out, shouting "Boo!" when she walked by. She burst into tears and ran screaming to my mom. My mom thought I'd hit my sister, and was so angry that she punched me in the eye. FML

Your mother really needs to control her anger, and get a general overview of the situation.. If my mom did that to me, i'd freak out.. FYL

Yes, let's solve (non-existent) violence with violence, this sounds like a good plan...

your mom is an bi-atch for that one. not cool at all. she coulda grounded you but punching u in the eye was unacceptable

Lol I think hitting your kids is fine. My dad hit me when I did something wrong when I was little and I learned not to do it again. And it obviously worked here - I bet the OP won't scare her sister again 'cause it'll come back around and punch him in the face. If you're old enough to post an FML you're old enough to know better than to scare a 10 year old. There are consequences, which you saw.

Hehehe the idiotic little arguments people have in the comments are almost as good as the FML stories. (Note 19 30 34 38 etc whatever).

Your mom sets a terrific example of how violence should never be used... oh wait.

Sorry but your mom sounds like a bitch.

OK. I'm pretty sure it's been demonstrated many times that hitting a child to punish them doesn't really serve them well. When you hit a child or anyone you have authority over, it serves to generate fear, and not that fear is a good reason not to do certain things, it would be better to sit someone down and say look, you did this, hence here is a consequence, and allow them to reflect on it and learn from it. For example, with younger kids, that consequence could be time out - sit in a chair; for a teenager a restriction of some privilege. Hopefully this will allow the individual to realize that his or her actions weren't necessarily appropriate on their own. Hitting, on the other hand does a number of things. Shows that hitting is an exceptable way to deal with anger and other emotions. On top of that it just makes them fear the consequence instead of knowing that it may not be the right thing to do. When all you do is fear the consequence and nothing else, it can make you a manipulative and lying person, because all you want to do is just get away with a behavior, rather than know that it's wrong. Sorry for the long post.
