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

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

This is terrible!

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.

Nice. You know she's going to be safe. Give her an iron bat though. I prefer ed to have one in my hand whenever a stranger came to my door.

That sucks but at least she was smart enough to protect herself. Nowadays anything can happen and although your head may hurt, at least you can have a little piece of mind.

How did you lock yourself out with your seven-year-old kid home? Were you leaving her home alone, or did the door accidentally lock? And if you knew she was home (which surely you did, as she's only seven), why not just ring the doorbell or knock? O.o But it's good that she can protect herself. At least she knows what to do in case an intruder does show up.

If she was home, why didn't you just knock or call the house and let her know. A 7, she knows not to tell anyone she's home alone and check the peephole on the door so if she sees her parent, she will let you in... Now if she was in bed I see why you snuck in, but still. Proud of your daughter, but hope you don't hurt too much.

it probably hurts right now, BUT this just goes to show that there is something that you did right cause your daughter knows what to do if an intruder shows up! Don't be too harsh on her, she's a good kid
