Today, I overheard my daughter compliment my mother by saying "My mom is way flabbier than you, Grandma." When I told her later that she hurt my feelings, she told me to "man up." She's seven. FML

Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML

Today, a 7-year-old girl came up to me and told me to go fuck myself. I told her to watch her language or else I'd tell her parents. Her mom happened to be nearby and actually heard the conversation; she came up to me and told me to go fuck myself as well. FML

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

The problem is that you took offense at what your daughter said. Kids say things like that, and when they say them, they're usually true. What were you trying to do, give your daughter a guilt-trip? It obviously didn't work.

DISCIPLINE. 19-its not just about the honesty, its about the inability for the child to feel remorse for saying hurtful things.

Had I been that disrespectful to my mother, I would have gotten a bitchslap across my mouth. Maybe you should teach your kid some manners instead of spending your time kvetching, hey?

When a 7 year old girl tells you to man up, that's a serious problem.

Kids say the darndest things...sounds like you should just take her out for some ice cream tubby and laugh about the whole situation.

If I had ever said that to my mom...she would have beaten the shit out of me. And I'm not afraid to say that I'd do the same. Kid's gotta show some respect.

Ha... your daughter would regret saying that if it had any serious thing to do with me or some other people. Friggin kids and their "manners" today...
