Today, while my mother-in-law visited, I asked if she wouldn't mind watching my son for 10 minutes as I had run out of baby shampoo. I came back home to see she had shaved his head completely bald. That was his very first haircut. FML

Today, my 4-year-old son cut half of my hair when I was asleep because he thought I would look better that way. FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from my dad's house. He'd shaved her head bald. "For a laugh." FML
Today, after discussing having our son's hair styled nicely for school, my ex returned him with his head shaved. I didn't realise bald was in style for 4-year-olds. FML
Today, my son told me he needed a haircut. I was thrilled that he actually requested it, since he normally throws a fit over getting them. He described the cut he wants. It's a mullet. FML
Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML
Today, I asked my dad to give me a haircut. After 20 minutes of "fuck"s and "shit"s, he gave up and just shaved my head bald. I pull off the look so badly that two people I don't even know have already told me I look like a psychopath. FML
Today, we were running late because my hair got tangled in the curtains. My mother-in-law got so angry, she hacked at it, leaving me with a bald patch, then went and sat in the car as though we were still going anywhere with her. FML
Today, I took my 5 year-old son to the barbershop. When the barber had finished with him, I told the barber, "While we're here, I might as well get a trim too." My son then exclaimed loudly inside a very full barbershop, "Dad! You don't need a haircut, you need hair!" FML
Today, my son gave me a bottle of shampoo for my birthday. I'm as bald as a coot. FML
Today, my 8 year old son cut his own hair. He did a better job than I ever did. I'm a hairdresser. FML

Well, looks like you won't be needing the shampoo after all. Save it for later!

Don't you mean shave it for later?

You shouldn't pull your hair out over this. Don't split ends with her and just realize she was trying to be helpful.

#6 I wouldn't mind if you did shave it for later

Tell your M.I.L to get the follicle outta hair...and never comb back!

The puns on FML are seriously getting old.

I would punch her in the face and then break her fingers. That just ain't right man that's just wrong

If you don't like her comment just thumb it down. There is no need to be an asshole and insult her. I know I should be doing the same thing to your comment but I felt the need to tell you to stop being a jerk.

I totally second this!

Mothers ALWAYS get to do shit first... It's like a rule. First Haircut, Bath, anything. Playing with fire if you try and take control.
kozzard 17
mother? yes. grandma? not without asking mom first.
S182 15
Not only was it an issue of first haircut... But you shouldn't be cutting other people's children's hair without their permission period ...
ThomasScott 7
**** her up! Drown that bitch in your baby's bath water!
AventadorSG 11
rip her hair out!
chell1894 13
Is she mentally all there? Because I do not know of any grandma that would think that's okay to do. It wasn't even a first hair cut. She shaved all the hair!
ThomasScott 7
66-That works too, that could be effective.

I think she would wake up if anyone started shaving her hair. What you could do is cut chunks out of her hair in odd places as close to the scalp as possible.

That sucks OP. You mother-in-law basicly stole a moment you could have had with your son that you are never going to get back. Did she do it on purpose? Do you two have a bad relationship or was it an honest(ish) mistake? Either way that really sucks ={.

So haircut virginity is a thing with parents? Probably in a different culture this would be violating something.

I know a mom that freaked out when her husband took their 9 month old to get his first haircut. There's an old wive's tale that says if you cut a child's hair before their first birthday, the child will become a stutterer. It wasn't true in their case. And my neighbor shaved their "daughter's" head when she was a few months old because their culture believe it'll make their child's hair grow back lush and thick!

24# Not sure where she's from, but in Argentina the same belief exists. I'm from there and I was shaved the day I was born and shaved a few more times until I turned one. Really, it doesn't make much of a difference, regardless of when you shave or get a haircut for the first time.

At least your mother-in-law didn't subject him to years of humiliation by using a bowl to cut his hair...like mine did :(
dontpanic_fml 32
You let your mother in law cut your hair with a bowl?
rhapsody_x 3
Yes, the infamous bowl haircut.

Bet you and your husband wish you went on that cruise instead, huh?

No. I call IRRELEVANCE!

Is she the same one who ordered the food you were allergic too?

so that does suck it's not the end of the world. great thing about hair and babies they both grown rather quickly
Mademoiselle_fml 34
That's not the point, though... I see what you mean, but the big deal was that it was the kid's very first haircut, and of course the mother wanted to be there for it. They want to be there for everything: first giggle, first burp, first word, first steps, first haircut... etc. A haircut after the baby's first would probably not have been such a big deal, but the first one is, especially to a mother.
DanielleinDC 33
I think it's that grandma took it upon her self to shave the kid's head without mom's permission. I can imagine how any mom would be pissed at this.
kalynnepointer 7
I would have screamed, and punched her in the face. That's just me though.
Puffytruffles 18
Definitely a bold move.
birdierising 16
And then you would get arrested for assault...best to not punch people in the face.
Jetfrog28 7
More like a bald move.

Shave her hair into a Mohawk.
GothickNihilist 15
No a mohawk is too cool for this bitchy. I suggest shaving it all, except for having a ratail. For those who do not know, a ratail is the bit of hair on the back of the head at the very bottom.
