Today, I had to explain to my one person on my staff why having kids aged 6 to 9 hammering in screws with the butt end of a screwdriver is neither safe, nor a good idea. FML

Today, I learned the hard way that if you tell your child that they're old enough to cook their own food in the microwave, you have to make sure they're smart enough not to put the metal spoon in with the food as well. FML

Demon child

Today, I was babysitting a two year-old. He was messing around with a silver fork and I told him it was dangerous. He then got mad at me, started crying, and stabbed me right in the foot. Be warned, even though they're little, they can still cause a lot of pain. FML

Today, I had to explain to my little sister that not all guitars are supposed to have a hole in them, that when I was talking about "breaking it in" I didn't mean I'd smash a hole in it, and that she shouldn't have taken a hammer to my expensive new guitar. FML

I think your baby would be safer on it's own than with her.

She probably doesn't have kids.

I'm 22 with a 9 month old and I know better... I'm sorry she's trying to unintentionally kill your baby

This sounds like it would make a good Fuller House "very special" episode.

I have a stupid sister so I know how you feel. You probably stood there for a moment in total disbelief that she didn't know better!

Your baby would probably take better care of itself than your sister would.

Anything can be a toy if under supervision of an adult

"Aww, look at him. He likes it!" *Baby stabs itself in the face* Looks like the adult supervision worked after all! As opposed to: "No, that's not a good idea, put it away."

Hopefully, stupidity doesn't run in the family. Otherwise the poor baby might've inherited it.

Today, I ran into my ex at the mall. He’s married, with a 2 year-old. Three years ago he ended our 6-year relationship because he said he didn’t believe in marriage and kids. Sorry for not being good enough to achieve those things with. FML

Today, after being so jaded by failed relationships, I'd given a guy who slid into my Facebook Messenger a chance. We'd entered the talking stage, only to be told four months later that he’s found a girlfriend, and no longer wants to continue this interaction and blocked me. FML

Today, I found out my wife has been bribing my daughter to keep quiet about her affair with my boss. That would explain the iPhone 4S, the $500 shoes, the $200 purse, and the professional $300 haircut. They told me it was because she had straight A's. FML
