Today, I had to teach my younger brother to shave with a regular disposable razor because our dad uses an electric one and I'm the only other person in the family with enough facial hair to know how to use a razor. I probably would have been proud if I wasn't a girl. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got an electric razor and a lesson from my dad on how to shave my mustache and chin. I also got my period. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he'd help me shave my mustache. I'm a girl. FML
Today, for the third time, I had to tell my stepfather to stop using my razor. It seems when I told him last time that I use it on my armpits, that only encouraged the behaviour. FML
Today, I caught my sister using my shaver to trim her pubic hair. FML
Today, whilst taking a shower, I noticed my razor wasn't in its usual spot. Upon inspecting it closer, I noticed that there were tiny white hairs in it. When confronting my father about it, he claimed the "pink razors" are his. We've been sharing the same razor this entire time. FML
Today, I had to remove my brother's pubic hairs from the bathtub before bathing my son. FML
Today, I walked in on my mother using a razor to shave my dad's cream-covered testicles. FML
Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML
Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Nair may be able to help...

That is horrible advice. You should not use it near any sensitive body parts. Genitals and face.

Aw you are not alone. I was in the same situation. My mom got me into using wax for my face and trust me it's made my life easier. Now I can go for weeks without worrying about plucking etc. Give it a try.

Why are people ripping so bad on OP? Women need to shave as much as men do (if not more given all the body parts we shave), but God forbid anyone actually finds out we do have body/facial hair (granted we don't have as much as males)... Just because she doesn't conform to societies ideals doesn't give a reason to pick on the poor girl. OP if you don't like it I would recommend waxing, it lasts a few weeks and as 15 said, the hair does grow back slower and finer after repeated use. If it is really bad, it could be hormonal and I'd recommend a doctor. Don't worry too much about it. My grandma's always been on the hairy side but she still had 5 kids with her husband. Clearly she did something right :P

That's true, but there's no call for the "bearded lady" comments.

That just makes the comments unoriginal as well as unfunny!

Exactly! Well said!

Women don't NEED to shave. There's just stupid societal pressure to do so. The further you move from westernized culture, the less women shave and no one seems to complain about it. There are still attractive women, even without the shaving. I saw a Swedish woman with almost as much leg hair as me, and she was still hot!!!! The operative phrase "Are you going to knit, or are you going to ****" comes to mind.

88 Well of course she was hot, she was Swedish :P Anyway I'd already touched on that point in my comment (societal ideals I mean).

Don't be embarrassed, OP. I shaved a couple women's facial hair when I worked in the nursing home. Besides, we all have our own little embarrassing quirks.

Women shave more than men anyway.

If you are young and have enough facial to need to shave often you might want to pop into your GP to get your LH:FSH hormone ratio level checked. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is common enough and comes in many varying degress of hirsutism. Checking your steroid levels might be a good idea as well as Cushing's syndrome is another possibility. Or it could be just that you're a bit hairy full stop. :/

43's right, prove your worth by having lots of kids. That'll teach you for being ashamed of your facial hair!

Piss off. My point was that a lot of guys don't care about that sort of thing if they're in love with the person. Might I add that they were married for 30+ years before he died?

Actually come to think of it it would have been more like 42+ years...

OP I have the same problem, it's a hormone imbalance. Birth control will help :)

Certain nationalities have hairy females too, and red-heads (I should know) you can't change that. Well, electrolsys can but, shaving is far less painful.

Irony at its best. Women dread getting hair in certain places & men can't wait to get it!
