Kids: Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted....

Today, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML

Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML

Warranties don't cover kids, do they?

Today, my two year-old fell with a toy in her hand. The TV isn't even paid off yet. FML

Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML

Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML

Today, I gave my 7-year-old a snowglobe. I had spent the last week deconstructing it, putting an action figure of his favorite cartoon character inside, and then putting it back together. Later, I find it smashed into pieces because he wanted to "play with the toy it came with." FML

Today, my 3 year old kid wanted to do something nice. I told him he could pick up some of his toys. He washed my new Iphone instead. FML

Today, I came home after doing some Black Friday shopping for Christmas presents. I told my husband I got the must-have toy our daughter has been dying for. As soon as I said it, I heard squealing and turned around to see her standing right behind me. There goes the surprise. FML

Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML

Today, I bought myself a brand-new 52" flatscreen. It was only in my house for 2 hours before my toddler had a tantrum, threw a toy right into the screen and wrecked it beyond repair. I paid to have a nice TV for 2 hours. FML

Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML

Well what do you expect from a 2 year old? He'll play with it eventually, chill out.

Today I realized far too late that I don't understand that babies don't actually enjoy or desire toys. FML

I'm sorry your son doesn't just LOVE the toy that you bought him. It REALLY must be the end of the world FYL, indeed.

This made me laugh out loud. That's something I would do. People however need to chill out. I don't think she was serious about the fml. Maybe she just posted it to get a laugh.

I wish people would quite judging FML's as not FML's. If it's up here, it's an FML. The fact that he didn't expect it of his son makes it an FML especially!

It's what kids do, man. *shrug* For me, it was always the box. Heck...it's STILL the box that makes me happy if it's big enough! Simple pleasures for simple minds.

Haha kids always do that. You shouldn't regret buying it for him though (unless it was very expensive) becuase he wouldn't have been happy until he got it LOL

That's what happened at Christmas. I bought the little girl I take care of a $300 dollar tricycle and she liked the box better.

Yeah, letting your kid play with a plastic bag. Smart. I wanted to smack the bitch of a mother who was doing nothing while her kid had a plastic bag all the way over his head for about 30 seconds.
