Today, I locked myself out and had to enter my house via the back door. Thinking I was an intruder, my 7-year-old daughter slammed a metal rake into the back of my head. Nice to know she can take care of herself. FML

Today, I locked myself out of the house I was house-sitting. An hour later, and my fifth attempt at climbing the fence, I figured I'd try the door one more time. Turns out I was turning the handle the wrong way and the door wasn't locked in the first place. FML

Today, I gave the back door a slight nudge to make sure it was latched shut. Of course, it flew wide open, causing me to smash my face into the doorframe, fall out onto the back porch writhing in pain, and have blood pissing out of my face. FML

Today, I found myself locked out of my house. I had to squeeze myself through a tiny window around the back. While hanging upside down, my hood fell over my head. My dog ran through to investigate the noise and ravaged me thinking I was a burglar. I then fell and broke my wrist. FML

Today, I was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML

Let 'em in

Today, I was in my backyard. When I wanted to come back in the house, I tried to open the sliding door. I knew that my brother locked me out so I banged on the door very hard, causing the glass to break. It turns out that the door wasn't locked. FML

Today, my one-year-old son locked me out of the house. I had no spare key and both him and my 4-month-old decided that was the perfect time to scream bloody murder. FML

Today, my doorknob broke. While trying to impress my dad and show that I can fix things for girls, I somehow managed to lock myself in my room, with the doorknob on the other side of the door. When my dad finally heard my screams, he let me out. He had to take the whole door off. FML

Today, the door to my daughter's room became jammed and wouldn't open while she was in the room. Being resourceful, I grabbed my ladder and climbed up to her window, only to end up stuck in her window. I'm not sure what was worse, getting stuck, or being laughed at by my neighbors for a while. FML

Today, I needed to grab something from the garage. As soon as the door closed, I heard a little click sound. My one-year-old seems to have figured out the door lock. FML

Today, as I stepped out the door and heard it lock behind me, I realized I had forgotten both my keys and my baby inside. There's no other way in. FML

Hey, at least she'd have been safe if it was an intruder.

Atleast she didn't have a gun

Why did she even have a metal rake?

I'd be very proud parent , it takes a lot for somebody to defend themselves at any age

That's awesome of her! Most kids wouldn't have the guts to defend themselves.

Kids nothing, I'd be hiding curled up in the smallest place I could fit. But I'm a coward.

It was really brave. I would have gone and hid myself somewhere.

Why didn't you just get her to unlock the door?

Give her a pet guard dog and you won't need a home security system anymore.

Why couldn't your daughter let you in..? And she's home alone at the age of 7..? /:

He never said she was home alone. He could have gone to get the mail, take out the trash or get the newspaper and locked himself out.

That's the least important part of my comment. Why couldn't she just let him in?

So then the question remains why didn't he knock on the door?

Why would that be a problem? I was home alone all the time at that age, and for shorter times at younger age too. I didn't die. People are so ridiculously overprotective.
