Today, my 9-year-old daughter was acting out and wouldn't do her homework. I told her that if she didn't study, she wouldn't get her acceptance letter from Hogwarts. She looked into my eyes, straight through to my soul and said, "Hogwarts isn't real, retard." FML

I don't know whether to make a Harry Potter reference or to comment on your daughters foul mouth and lack of respect for you.

Well now she called upon the spell of an angry mother upon herself, and that my fellow fml'rs, is very real.

You very much deserved that. I remember as a kid, there was nothing more infuriating than people treating you like a drooling moron. Now granted, kids aren't exactly little Einsteins, but they are very much capable of telling the difference between fictional stories and reality.

86, do you want to elaborate on that, or are you just insulting people for the sake of insulting people?

No, the OP didn't deserve to be called her retard by her 9 year old. No parent, under any circumstances, deserves that level of disrespect from their child.

Has she read the books? Maybe start reading them with her? Sounds like she could do with a bit of imagination and kindness.

You can't really expect a 9 year old to believe Hogwarts is real, and then on top of that to expect her take the consequence real. It's like saying "Be good, for Santa!" It'll only work for so long

It will only work for so long, and it's a blatant lie. Not only is it a fictional character that is giving out the consequence, but it's also an empty threat. The kid could continue to do bad things, and no parent is going to follow through and not buy them presents. Consequences are all about follow through. Don't say there will be a consequence if you're not willing to follow through, kids pick up on that and will learn to call your bluff.
