Today, while showering, my 3 year old son comes to the bathroom and puts on all my makeup. Once I got out of the shower, I got a camera I had and took a few adorable shots. Afterward, I sent the images to all my friends and family. Then I realized the reflection on the mirror was me fully naked. FML
I agree, your life sucks (23876) - you totally deserved it (53415)

Hopefully you didn't send them to anyone you wouldn't want to see you naked... or anyone who would send them to others.

While I understand your embarrassment, I couldn't help bursting into laughter because its something I would do. Aw the things we do..... they are so human, and at time hilarious!
#3 - On 04/05/2009 at 5:55am by jillian1508
This is one of the harshest things I've ever read on FML... Those photos are never going to ALL be deleted or thrown away lol....
#4 - On 04/05/2009 at 5:57am by sheepyblah
you couldnt even put on a towel or anything after your shower?
hope you shaved.
#6 - On 04/05/2009 at 6:02am by oooh_dear
This reminds me of a picture, which was all over the internet, of a guy selling an item on eBay and his naked self was reflected in the window behind the item.
Today, I recieved and email from my sister that had pictures of my nephew with tons of makeup on, the pictures were adorable but in the reflection it showed my sister taking the picture. Fully naked. FML
Did you actually look at the pictures like BEFORE you sent them?! haha.. U sooo deserve that one smarty..
#13 - On 04/05/2009 at 6:39am by Cookie_kaioo
Your never gonna see the picture and you know it so why ask. "Oh a stranger wants a picture of me naked in it, I'm gonna put it on the Internet for him to see and everyone else."

#14 What's so bad about it? It's his own mother, kids should be comfortable with stuff like that.
#16 - On 04/05/2009 at 6:56am by arienh4
That is an awesome story! I did have to chuckle :o)
I put it down as YDI :-) You took and sent the pics - self-inflicted I'm afraid :-)
To everyone assuming OP didn't look at the pics, if you actually try it you'll find that when you are all intent on looking at the main subject (3 yo in makeup), it is very easy to miss background things like reflections in mirrors. Just look at all these "spot the difference" puzzles. You are specifically looking for things in the picture - and you *still* don't notice them.
#14 grow up - Nudity isn't harmful!
What you do or don't do with your kids is your business (though I pity your kids).
But that doesn't mean your perverted values work for everyone else.
eww. you take pictures if your son while your naked? creeper
#25 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:13am by jeremiah2428
you let your three year old son see you completely naked ?
thats pretty gross .
#26 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:35am by almostouttt
i agree you shouldnt just walk around naked infront of a kid that age anyways. secondly, how stupid can you be that you didnt even look at the pictures as you were sending them? third, you shouldnt let your son put on makeup...
#16, you can start remembering things around that age, and no boy wants to remember their mother naked... i promise you that
and im not saying she is a perve and its rape, just saying its about the age you should start wearing clothes around your kid
#28 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:53am by kwbuzz23wk
hahaha, this is hilarious if its true
why would you get out of the shower without putting on a towel first to go out of your bathroom (i assume) to get your camera,
and im sure you knew you had plenty of time to take photos of your son
either way its funny :)
#30 - On 04/05/2009 at 9:03am by lizz_z
I've heard this before, it was just worded differently. She sent out the photos to all her family and got a weird response, looked at the photos and relized in the reflection she was nude.
#31 - On 04/05/2009 at 9:10am by idrivefast
I call BS i've seen this on like 4 other sites. and agree with 31.
#32 - On 04/05/2009 at 9:15am by skiiergirl1313
Yeah, I love it when I read an entry on FML that was sent to Reader's Digest over five years ago.
FAKE.
Today, I was bored so I went to the bathroom and started putting on my mom's make-up. All of a sudden, she comes out and starts taking pictures of me. While she was fully naked. FML.
when you said "took a few adorable shots" I already knew what was going to happen. that is soo funny!
#37 - On 04/05/2009 at 10:13am by celiaeatsballz
I give you both FYL and YDI. Why? It stinks that you basically just showed all of your friends yourself naked, but you totally deserved it for not checking.
#38 - On 04/05/2009 at 10:30am by UnofficialBlonde
yeah it's been all over the internet for years, i'm surprised more people haven't noticed. it's a common chain letter email thing that moms send around (have been for years, my moms gotten tons of them) except it's her son who covers himself in toilet paper and she uses it as a christmas card
#13 the kid is THREE! he came OUT of that Vagina 3 years ago..furthermore, hes probably USED to seeing her boobs if she breast fed him..who knows..she might STILL be breast feeding him. People need to stop being so weird about their bodies. hes a baby and he needs to know that theres nothing wrong with her body. now if he was 13 that would be weird.
I say this as someone who has studied child development and with all due respect: exposing a young child to sexuality and nudity leads them to become overly anxious adults. Just put on a towel.
why would you take pictures of your son completely naked?
#45 - On 04/05/2009 at 11:08am by gabriellaaanais
My concern is not of the son seeing his mom naked but why he's putting on make up in the first place...I know he's just three but still most parents that I know would not think it's adorable that their son is putting on makeup.
HAHAHA this one made my day. totally something anyone would do. did you send out an urgent email right after, saying "PREVIOUS EMAIL CONTAINS VIRUS?" Mannnn I so would. haha.
why were u naked next to your son? thats a little weird dot ya thinkk? lol i laughed when i heard this, how did u not notice this b4 u sent em?
ur fault
srry!
haha :D
#51 - On 04/05/2009 at 11:46am by FmlQueenx13
You're kind of a creep. You couldn't even put a towel on with your son in the room? Wow.
#52 - On 04/05/2009 at 12:06pm by Victoria2103
Wow, your kid is weird. Makeup? He'd fit right in with the 80's glam rock scene.
And you were naked in front of your son? Poor kid.
Also, mirrors reflect things. Including you if you're standing in front of it.
#6 = amazing
yeah but for real why didn't you at least put a towel on???
like i can see being by yourself but with your son in the room? weird.
why are you naked in front of your child, f-ing douche.
#56 - On 04/05/2009 at 12:23pm by dreams_infinity
PRO TIP: Always cover up before coming out of the shower. Especially if your kid is in the bathroom.
#62 - On 04/05/2009 at 12:51pm by quesoesbueno59
loll of course you deserved it for not checking the pictures but this really isn't all that bad. whoever you sent it to if they're close girl friends and family will play it off as a joke and you'll get crap but your life isn't fucked.
I've read this quite a few times before, although worded differently. I hope the OP just stole it; it'd be better than multiple idiots running around naked with cameras and mirrors.
#66 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:06pm by TurtleGenius
so what? u excite some of ur male relatives and friends... it would be bad if they like blackmailed u...
#68 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:24pm by average_girl
Well...?
Do you look good naked
or is it a cruel punishment for your family?
Funny. Ha.
I actually showered with my parents till I was 6 or 7
What I'm concerned about is why your three year old is unsupervised while you take a shower?? Hmmm?
#70 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:30pm by Stellaritsmeg
FAKEEE. Read this in Seventeen or something like that a long, long, time ago. Get your own shit.
#72 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:53pm by designedlikedice
why would it matter if her son saw her naked? nudity isn't a big deal...
i'm sure your friends and family will just laugh it off!
#73 - On 04/05/2009 at 2:00pm by penguinonice
uh, you guys don't realize that just because this happened to someone else, however many years ago, it couldnt happen again? y'all are idiots.
#74 - On 04/05/2009 at 2:01pm by starcheckered
I've heard that story before a long long time ago. You are a copy cat, that didn't really happen to you.
#76 - On 04/05/2009 at 2:11pm by MyWorstNightmare
72, doubt it would be Seventeen, isn't that teen-oriented?
And LOL at all the people saying "OMG. WHY isn't it okay for parents to be naked in front of their kids. It's just his mom. It's SOOO NATURAL"
How many of you also think its horrible and traumatizing to walk in on your parents fucking? That's natural too.
#78 - On 04/05/2009 at 2:37pm by PTERONOPHOBIA
You didn't realize that before hand? Plus, I know the kid is only 3 but still, wear a towel.
#80 - On 04/05/2009 at 2:44pm by wat_the_eff
there is nothing wrong wit being naked in front of your 3 year old..at all
some women will even shower with their little kiddies
what about moms who bring their lil kiddies in the restroom and have em im the stall
it is not big deal
Euhm
tbh i just made an acc jsut to answer to this ... but i'm wondering where do all those people come out? that think its weird when a child sees a parent nude...
I mean u have been inside here for about 9 months... then u came out of here...
then she brestfeeded u a few months, ...
i dont realy see the problem r if u go to a sauna is that bad then to? if random people see u naked... i REALY dont see the problem lolz
#82 - On 04/05/2009 at 3:06pm by yayayayayaya
so i know some people like to raise their kids not to be embarrassed by nudity and all that stuff, but it's still kinda weird to take pics of your 3 year old son in half-drag while you're totally nude and wet... so you ran around the house--nude--to get the camera, and then took pics of him in front of a mirror. lol jeez
btw, #84, it's easy to cut things out of pics. you don't even need to know photoshop. there's this nifty thing called MS Paint lol
AHHH! LMAO!
you could always crop it out, but that's hilarious :D
#89 - On 04/05/2009 at 4:06pm by zomgz_xx_jen
#87 tbh ... if she just had a camera close r a cellphone why shouldnt she?
#90 - On 04/05/2009 at 4:10pm by yayayayayaya
well at least this isnt a picture you'll embarass your son in the future with lol
#93 - On 04/05/2009 at 4:44pm by thestevenrose
Be sure to crop yourself out of the pictures and save them. Pull them out and show them to his girlfriend after they've been dating for a while. We have pictures ready for our grandsons girlfriends. Cruel? Not really, it's a way to give her a glimpse of what their children will be like. Those of you upset because she was nude around her three year old need to lighten up. The modern attitude towards nudity is silly. Mankind went through thousands of years raising children with a healthy attitude towards their bodies. Now we have to deal with anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphic disorder, and others.
This is what you get for thinking your little delinquent child is cute, rather than a pest. If you would have beat his ass and sent him to bed for being a little brat, then you would not be in this mess. Simple as that.
I used to do that too, with the makeup! And dresses. I was one of those little kids who love to play with makeup, wear dresses, and play with dolls. Definitely lends credit to the whole "gay is genetic" thing. Oh well!
Be more careful next time.
#97 - On 04/05/2009 at 4:58pm by Dichoscillation
Hmmm... I can tell who the mothers are here
1) Any mother knows that being naked in front of your three year old is no big deal.
2) Any mother also knows that when you're child does something cute your first thought is to grab the camera, not to put a towel on!
In short I expect all the "I would do that too"s too be fellow mothers!
#103 - On 04/05/2009 at 6:17pm by my_name_is_FML
i agree with #103 but this was really funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
#106 - On 04/05/2009 at 7:34pm by annabobana
YDI for your inappropriately-placed "while showering" phrase.
#107 - On 04/05/2009 at 7:51pm by airandfingers
that is really hilarious tbh.
and don't give her a hard time for not getting fully dressed.
Kodak moments dont stick around forever.
#109 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:11pm by tipsypiink
that is really hilarious tbh.

#110 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:11pm by tipsypiink
You guys she just wanted to take the picture quickly in case he washed it off or anything. He's only 3 anyway. 3 year olds run around naked in public sometimes. Not like he's old enough to care, he probably won't even remember.
HAHAHA!!! thats what you get for exploiting children, can i see the pics?
#113 - On 04/05/2009 at 9:08pm by shadow_moses
Pretty flippin' awesome if you ask me. Topic of conversation for the next few family gatherings I'd say. Hahaha.
To all of the people saying she's gross for being naked in front of her 3 year old son... Get over it! He came out of there!! A lot of kids are still taking baths with their parents at that age, there's nothing wrong with it!
#117 - On 04/05/2009 at 10:13pm by perfectwinds
i don't find anything wrong with being naked in front of your son. but i can't help but thinking that that is an epic FAIL!
#95 - Your son is going to kill you when you do that. If he's a little caring, you're going to be lucky to just get off with a smack in the face.
it's not that bad that she was naked in front of her son. he's only 3, and plenty of parents shower with their children at that age, its makes it a lot easier. plus, if she was home alone, it would have been safer to have him in the bathroom with her where she could still keep an eye on him rather than leave him alone.
#123 - On 04/06/2009 at 3:48am by fueledbyamy
You people are all so imature... I saw my mom naked until i was about 6... I mean.. it may be alittle different cause im a girl, but he was 3 years old! 3 YEARS OLD! Hes practacly still a baby!
Hes seen her boobs before, AND SUCKED ON THEM. And obviously, He LIVED in her vagina for 9 months..
If he were any older than 4.. it would be wrong.. but at the momment, hes still a baby! So just lay off.
#103 - Your totally right. This is a family decision. Its the choice the mom made. And i think it was the right choice.
If i found my son putting on my make-up, the first thing i would do is find my camera. No matter if i were naked or not. I would hate too loose that memory.
#124 - If he were any older than 4 it would be wrong? Who the fuck made you the right or wrong president? This is wrong either way, I remember vividly things from when I was 3 years old (I'm 22 now), and If I remembered my mom nonchalantly walking around naked all the time, that would be scarring. And disgusting.
Get your fucking head checked out OP, you sicken me.
euww... YDI for *your first thought being to grab the camera, not to put a towel on*
mygod... it would've took you only like 3sec anyway
Ew, gross you took pics of your son while you were naked? Put a towel on or something, whats wrong with you?
It would be absolutely hilarious if you accidentally put one of those on a website and got in trouble for pornography.
#126, what the fuck? There's nothing wrong with it, above or below four. Hell, my mother still walks around naked sometimes, and I'm 16. My dad usually gets dressed right after his showers and stuff after some ten seconds drying off, so he doesn't really count, and I'm paranoid and always wear one or two towels, so I don't really count either... but seriously. What the hell's wrong with the human body, especially when it's in your home and around your family? Are you so sexually repressed that the idea of the mere sight of a family member's body around another family member makes you freak out in horror? Besides, it's THEIR opinion(s), and for all you know they're across the world from you- what right do you have to even concern yourself with it, let alone flip out over it?
#129 YES! Haha, that would be priceless...
Edit: Oh, right. FYL. ;D
#130- Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I feel so sorry for you. Not because your mother walks around naked when you are 16, but because you actually think that because she does it, that makes it OK. That is so sad.
#100, we need more people like me. We would have more proper acting kids and not a bunch of brats who think it is "cute" to get into makeup and make a mess. The poster's kid is going to be one of those losers who is always getting on everyone's nerves because mommy and daddy encouraged it.
Why wouldn't you have at least a towel on after you left the bathroom? You didn't take the time to dry off first before you grabbed your camera soaking wet?? You deserve it
#136 - On 04/07/2009 at 12:36am by manofstyle
It's forums like these that show, even after centuries have passed, that America truly was colonised by a bunch of Puritans who were so uptight that even England in the Middle Ages couldn't stand them.
hahahah aww that really sucks for you, but....
eww, you were taking pictures of your son naked?
sorry, but I don't care if I'm uptight, colonized puritan,
it's just not a mental image I want to have with me for the rest of my life!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAH
I honestly can't even say anything more than that.
This is amazing!!!!!
#140 - On 04/07/2009 at 5:55pm by Anne_Onimus
#139: "it's just not a mental image I want to have with me for the rest of my life!"
Trust me, you don't. You're just applying adult thoughts and understanding to a child - doesn't work that way.
ahah. I saw a picture similiar to what you described, but happened to a guy.. He was taking a piture of his dining table to sell on e-bay. I have no idea why..but he decided to do this in the nude. Behind his table was a really nice mirror. So he had a fully nude, but not fully noticable picture of him standing in a mirror with a camera. This was to view by hundreds of e-bay users, plus forwarded in e-mails..FHL not yours, lol
#143 - On 04/08/2009 at 11:57pm by slightly_st00pid
I did something else...sorta similar... I dident feel like waring my towel into my room. So my parents, who dident tell me they were comming over, were taking pictures of eachother in there old wedding dress and suit at my house which was there old house so it would look more like it was 1978... so now they have a picture of my dad weaing his old suit like it was 1978 with me and my junk hanging out in the background.... its on there TV at there house...
lmao.
ahahahahahahahaha.
that is so goddamn funny.
you poor thing.
what a human mistake.
#145 - On 04/09/2009 at 9:35pm by woahfyl
This is not funny, check the archives. This already happened as an FML.
FAIL.
#146 - On 04/10/2009 at 1:56am by GrantNeedsAName
Fake I got a chain letter email saying this exact same thing like 3 years ago.
#151 - On 04/13/2009 at 2:23am by ericbrat20
Awwww.
That poor kid might have grown up and been embarrassed by those pictures, now i guess it makes two :)
Best FML
thats funny sucks to be u but funny for other people
Hopefully ur not fat that would be nasty to see i would probably throw up wherever im at
#154 - On 04/23/2009 at 2:07am by jon_cohen
almost as bad as the guy who posted pic of a table he was selling on ebay... and the mirror behind it captured his very naked self..and thats to a bunch of strangers...ouch
send me a copy i want to examen it by myself email aoch96@yahoo.com
#158 - On 05/15/2009 at 8:29pm by hellfirestw
Today, I got an email from my sister-in-law. Attached were photos of my nephew wearing makeup. My sister-in-law was naked. What were they doing?! FML
#159 - On 05/20/2009 at 3:53pm by jdkfgkjdfb
you guys are dumbasses, just because one thing happened to one person doesnt
mean it cant happen again, and if you cant realize that, you're not old enough to be on this site...
#160 - On 05/22/2009 at 4:51pm by scateice
why would you be naked in front of your son while taking pictures anyway?? YDI.
#167 - On 06/16/2009 at 10:37pm by love_to_laugh44
thats what u get for trying to make a mockery of your son... hahaha
#168 - On 06/18/2009 at 4:55pm by sgallman90
Come on, parents are often naked around young kids, that does not mean them or their kids are sex fiends.
Being naked in front of your kids just makes me a little uncomfortable, along the same lines as children kissing parents on the mouth. It's all personal preference, I think.
#171 - On 07/03/2009 at 4:32am by mad_masquerade
....
why would you leave the door unlocked while you're taking a shower, and why take pictures while you're naked from said shower?
Because as shes said, she has at least one small child, and even if their dad is in the house they can still wander off and get in danger, so she needs to be able to hear them. Small children also suffer from seperation anxiety and can become distressed if they cant find their mother.
I'm pretty sure you copied that off someone, they'd done exactly the same thing except the son had dressed up in toilet paper, and the mum had made cards out of it, and only after she'd sent them did she realise. It was in a book, so i'm pretty sure she didn't copy you.
#183 - On 02/10/2010 at 9:44pm by whatdidyouexpect
why are people so fucking stupid about her being naked in front of him. HE CAME OUT OF HER!! she breast-feed him. nakedness does not always have some sexual connotation. why do people overdramatize?
back on topic:
I'm sorry but there will always be at least one of those pics out there and next time....use a towel. :)
