Kids: Today, my six-year-old got in an argument with my four-year-old....

By TraumatizedMother - 02/10/2011 07:27 - United States

Today, my six-year-old got in an argument with my four-year-old. I told them to go outside. The next thing I know, my son was standing in front of his sister's burning Barbie's Malibu Dream House, singing "Burn Baby Burn" and cackling madly. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML

Today, I came home to find my eight-year-old son had basically set fire to the kitchen, after trying to practice some kind of stupid shit he'd seen on TV called "fire bending." FML

Today, my pyromaniac sister somehow got her hands on my dad's lighter and set my bed sheets on fire. My dad said I must have provoked her, and that she can't be blamed for her mental condition. So now I'm grounded, and she has a new doll house to calm her down. FML

Today, I was watching my 3-year-old sister play in the bathtub. She started screaming at her toys, saying "You're staying under the water until you DIE!" She then looked at me and cackled. I share a room with this demon child. FML

The betrayal

By poopiter - 27/07/2013 18:31 - United States - Grand Junction

Today, I finished off the last of the BBQ chips in the house. When my 6-year-old sister found out about it, she started screaming, then pulled down her pants and peed on the kitchen floor. My parents, after witnessing the whole thing, bitched me out for upsetting her. FML

Today, I came home from work to my 4-year old daughter cussing left and right. I asked her about it; she said that her brother had taught her some words. When I confronted him about the situation, he kicked my shin and screamed, "Stop treating me like a fucking child!" He's 5. FML

Hail Santa

Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML

Today, I was shut in a boiling hot room with six children: a 10-year-old who kept shouting, a belligerent 7-year-old, two 5-year-olds who thought hitting me was funny and two 2-year-olds, who wouldn't stop crying. Their parents were just outside, laughing away, ignoring me. FML

Hi, I'm CanWeMicrowaveIt. And today, I'm here to talk about a epidemic sweeping the nation: Dream House fires. Did you know that a thousand Barbies a year get killed in house fires caused by their owners? That's almost twice as many that get thrown away, or run over by a car! So please, call this toll free number 1-800-BAR-BQUE, or 1800-117-1783, and donate anything, to help these Barbies, left in the ashes, with no Ken to call them, And we will send you a picture of the barbie you helped. Remember, call 1-800-BAR-BQUE and help save a barbies life. Thank you

What kind of patch does the Boy Scouts award for that?

The "torture your sister relentlessly" badge. My brother had one of those. He never burned anything of mine but he did fling ALL of my barbies into the ceiling fan and laughed as arms and legs went flying!

Can I just ask, how in the hell can some of you think that is awesome?! This child (and I'm sorry to say OP, given I am a mum myself) needs to be looked at and quick! If my daughter thinks it's funny to set a fire and destroy her sisters' stuff like that, she would be at the doctor's faster than you could say "Holy Crap Bobby Ray but we got ourselves a BAR-BE-KEW!" If he shaves the family cat and consistently wets the bed, you have a real issue on your hands, known as Conduct Disorder. And btw to all you who think OP is a bad parent, no amount of 'good' parenting will stand in the way of a (possibly) mentally ill child.

Now you are blaming the kid. How in the hell is it his fault. No amount of parenting...bla bla bla. Thats bull!!! I'm a mom as well and if my son were to start a fire with something I wouldn't be quick to lable him crazy. I would however be the first to admit that I had a serious parenting malfunction. I bet you think you hyper child has ADHD right. Dumbasses!!! Hey lady-take youre son to a therapist, get him on some pills that make him a zombie, then when you dont feel like dealing with it anymore-send him to a mental hospital.

Actually I'm not blaming the child at all. Although at 6 he is perfectly old enough to understand that FIRE IS BAD! Ergo, he knew that by setting the fire in the first place it would obliterate his sisters toy and he obviously got a thrill from that. If this is a one off then fine, maybe he's OK and there is no need to panic. All I'm saying is that stuff like this continues then she needs to get it looked at. Actually my children are very well behaved and I would never think that just cos they are hyperactive that they have ADHD, but nor would I bury my head in the sand and ignore an obvious problem like most older parents do because they still believe that having a child with 'problems' carries a stigma. At no point did I say that OP is a bad parent, or that the child was mental. I said 'possibly'. Besides that if she does decide to take advice from here most GP's would encourage her to monitor her son for a specific length of time rather than just slapping a label on him straight away. And to call someone else's opinion bull is just out and out rude.
