Today, I went to visit some family out of state for my niece's birthday. I couldn't think of what to get an 8-year-old so I got her a Barbie doll. Everyone else got her money, iPods, game consoles, etc. When she got to mine she asked "how do I turn it on?" Then threw it away when she couldn't. FML

Today, my 3 year old kid wanted to do something nice. I told him he could pick up some of his toys. He washed my new Iphone instead. FML

Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML

Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML

Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML

Today, my 8 year old adopted daughter told me she wants me to take her back so another family can adopt her because I don't give her enough toys. FML

Today, my 14 year-old daughter is so selfish that on her sister's birthday, she found the present, assumed it must be for her, opened it, then destroyed it when she saw it was frozen Anna and Elsa dolls because she hates Frozen. Her sister loves Frozen, and hasn’t stopped crying over Anna’s severed head. FML

Today, I threw a pillow at my 8 year-old cousin while play-fighting. She gave me a look, then muttered, "You don't have any girlfriends and the girls that talk to you probably have no taste." FML

Today, my daughter had a meltdown when I told her I donated some of her old toys to Goodwill. It turns out Toy Story has taught her that toys have feelings and that she has a meaningful relationship with them. She's in her teens. FML

Today, my mom was feeling down, so I decided to buy her a gift. Knowing she likes lighthouses, I bought her a tiny one that plugs in and lights up. I brought it home, plugged it in, and when she saw me with it, she said, "Wipe that smirk off your face and get that junk out of here." FML

Although it was ungrateful of your niece to react that way, I'm not sure I agree with all the "we didn't have that when I was a kid and kids don't need it now" comments. I'm pretty sure every generation has said that about the one that follows. I remember my parents being astonished by the stuff that was around for kids and that was in the 70s/80s Technology and hi tech toys are part of life for young kids. It's natural that they want it. While it's debatable if they need it or not, the same could be said for everyone. I both want and own lots of things I don't need. Does that mean I shouldn't have them?

The point is, is that regardless of what you were given as a gift, you should be appreciative of it.

its not the fact she got tech or cash its the fact she threw away a barbie because it wasn't tech when I was a kid if I got something I didn't like I thanked my relative who got it for me and just put it in the back of my closet until it was time for goodwill donations this little brat didn't even wait for her Uncle/Aunt to leave

Wtf kind of 8 year old is that? If that girl spends her life spoiled then she won't work and know how it feels to earn things because she gets then for free.

I remember a time when people said Barbies were ridiculously commercialized/expensive/high end, etc. Same thing they're saying about iPods, etc. now. However, this child really needs more discipline to at least learn to PRETEND she loves anything she's given as a gift.
