Today, I was babysitting a kid for the first time. She asked if she could watch a movie, so I downloaded Cinderella for her. An hour later, this 10-year-old girl was lecturing me about unrealistic standards of beauty and abusive relationships, and how I suck for liking the movie. FML

Today, while babysitting a young girl, I put on the movie Bambi, as she told me it was her favorite movie. I didn't know that her parents always skipped the scene where Bambi's mom dies. Despite my attempts to comfort her, she was still upset when her parents returned. Her mom blamed me. FML

Today, I asked out a girl I like to a movie. She said "I hate babysitting." FML

Today, I babysat a 10 year old from hell. She kept insulting me, saying I have tiny boobs, that boys must hate me, and that I'm ugly. I eventually got fed up and put her to bed. When her parents came back, she ran out of her room in tears and told them I'd beaten her. They believed it. FML

Today, I visited my girlfriend in the preschool she's interning at. She asked me to continue reading The Little Mermaid to her class, handing me the book. After the story, the whole class started to cry. She never told me to sugarcoat the ending and lie, Disney-style. FML

Today, I got home and found my babysitter furious and my 5 year-old exhausted from crying. Normally he chooses to wear Disney princess dresses but today his grandma came for a visit, saw what he was wearing, told him he was bad, and forced him to wear trousers. I’m ready to kill the bitch. FML

Today, I was watching the movie Frozen with my 8 year old daughter. I had seen it before, so I sung along with some of the songs. My daughter put a finger over my lips, said "Shhhhhhhhut the fuck up," then turned back to the TV, giggling. FML

Today, I went to watch the Movie "UP." At one point in the movie I got really sad and started to cry a bit. The 7 year old girl next to me noticed and told me to shut and man up. FML

Today, I had to deal with a snobby rich woman who asked me to cure her daughter's "unhealthy obsession" with playing outside instead of watching TV with the rest of the family. She called me a liar when I said playing outside is a normal thing for a 6 year-old child to do. FML

Today, I had to pick my daughter up from pre-school because she repeatedly hit another kid with a stick. Apparently, my parents have been letting her watch violent action movies again. FML

Today, I babysat a 6-year-old boy for the first time. When I said it was his bedtime, he just screamed "Eat a dick!" at me. I was so shocked, all I could do was leave him be. When his parents returned, I had to make up an excuse for why he was still awake and watching TV, to save my pride. FML

How is cinderella unrealistic? She drives a pumpkin seems perfectly realistic to me

17, So she can't have a personal opinion that is "correct" unless it follows your opinion? Hell at 10 years old I think it pretty smart she can comprehend that.

People act like there aren't unrealistic expectations for men as well... have you seen a comic book recently with a male super hero? Talk about unrealistic...

What do you mean? Don't all men have extremely well-defined muscles and can lift cars?

Blame men for that, they're the ones guiding the design decisions.

So men get blamed for everything wrong in society, that's very equal. Like us men got together and all decided what the beauty standards should be. **** your feminist agenda, and **** you. What we live in is a society by accident, the reason we are attracted to different things are because that's how it played out. If this was planned I'd agree with the feminists but we live in an accident, just like the fact that I like cheese.

Should have made her watch Barney or Blue's Clues...lol. That'd teach the kid some "realistic" values & not to be such a snob @ 10...what did she expect, some Lady Gaga to show her its ok to look/behave trashy in order to be accepted in this world? Oh, all the little "monsters" nowadays. FYL OP, I feel for you.

I really don't understand where you're going with this. So, because she doewnt agree with the morals of Disney, Lady Gaga is going to give them to her, and she has terrible values?

It's nice that she has her own views and understands sexism at such an early age. She'll make a great feminist when she's older.

Agreed, but they also teach you that while you can reach your dreams, those dreams should be to find a smokin' husband and get fancy clothes.

She's 10, little too old to watch that and she's not a 90s kid so she wouldn't appreciate it anyways

As much as I like the movie, I will admit that the titular character is rather bland and the messages are a bit muddled. I much prefer the new young adult novel, Cinder, which has better character development.
