Today, I got my long hair cut in a short pixie cut. When my five year old daughter saw me she laughed and proclaimed 'You look just like a man!'. That afternoon I got a concerned call from the school. My daughter has told everyone 'mummy has gone away, I now have two daddies!' FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my daughter to get the expensive pixie cut she’s been "dying" for. As soon as we got home, my husband burst into hysterical laughter and pointed out that she looks exactly like he did in high school. Now she’s sobbing and begging for either a wig or even more expensive extensions. FML
Today, I video-chatted with my mom and showed her my new, very short haircut. My dad walked in, took one look at me and said, "I can only attribute this to penis envy," and walked out again. FML
Today, I arrived home, having just had my long hair cut and my beard shaved. My idiot daughter’s reaction when she saw me? “Who are you and how did you get in the house?” FML
Today, I got my hair cut short, as it hasn’t been cut in well over a year and I was getting sick of dealing with it. I told the hairdresser I would probably look like a boy but she said it would look cute, and that she’d make sure it looks feminine. I loved how it came out, until the kid at CVS asked, “Can I help you sir?” 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, I went to the hair salon. When I got home, my three-year-old daughter told me I looked like Dora the Explorer. FML
Today, I decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. FML
Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML
Today, I shaved my face after several months of growth. This would be OK if my 4-year-old daughter would still talk to me. Apparently she doesn't recognise me, and I'm scary. FML
Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Serves you right for choosing such a "practical" haircut.

24 Where do you get that the school was concerned because she had two daddies? I work in a school and we would have called home in this situation even if the "two daddies" part had never been said. Any time a child indicates a significant change in the family the school calls home - any divorce, new stepparent, new girlfriend/boyfriend moving in, etc. Gay or straight it doesn't matter. This way the parents know their child can see the guidance counselor, the parents and school can talk to each other about changes in the child's personality/mood that could be related to the change, and the teacher can make sure to not bring up/re-direct situations that would upset the child. IE you wouldn't read "I'll love you forever" to your class, the week after a students mother had moved out of her home, even if she hadn't been replaced by a daddy Would you want your child punished/yelled at because she was too upset over the loss of her mommy to do her classwork? That would happen if the school just ignored the situation when they had reason to believe that the child's mommy left. School wouldn't be welcoming to her at all. And so home would be bad because mommy was gone, and school would be bad because she was getting in trouble for being upset over the loss of her mommy

This is why women need to have long hair. Short hair on a woman is E-P-I-C F-A-I-L.

Just like to point out, the OP probably looks good with short hair. Many women do. If you believe that long hair is ALWAYS attractive and short is NEVER attractive, then you're very wrong. It's the shape of the face that makes the difference. Long hair can look stunning on a lot of girls, but with some girls it just makes them look like hippies or unclean. Short hair looks great for girls with rounder faces, and many guys do like short hair just as much as long. Plus although it's amusing that the daughter thinks she has 2 daddies now, the little girl is only 5. Unless a child is exposed to women with short hair when they're that age, they will believe that by just getting a haircut will change a person's gender. It's what they're exposed to all the time on TV; all female characters have long hair, all males have short.
