Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML

Today, a woman at the crowded mall stopped me and told me loudly that if I bought her product it would get rid of my acne. FML

Today, my daughter continues to have acne breakouts. She’s no longer a teenager, which means she isn’t washing her face. I can’t believe I raised someone who ignores her hygiene to this point. FML

Don't worry dad
Today, my daughter had just left for a date with her boyfriend. All of a sudden, she runs back in the house screaming "I forgot to take my birth control!" That is not something a father wants to hear. FML

Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML

Today, my mom went to the store. She said she was feeling generous, and had gotten everyone a little treat. My brothers each got candy and a movie. I got acne medication. FML

Today, my daughter asked me to get her razors. When my 19-year-old son saw them he asked what they were for, to which my daughter replied, "For my armpits." My son then said, "Girls don't grow armpit hair." FML

Today, my wife got her period. Every single time, she ends up asking me to go buy her some Midol after a few days of trying to tough it out, so I decided to buy her some ahead of time. She reacted by yelling at me for treating her like a child and implying that she couldn't go buy it herself. FML

Maybe she should've just gotten a facial. For her acne.

It actually does help with acne... My sister uses it and it really helps.

There is a difference between the morning after pill and the birth control pill. The morning after pill is only used for emergencies to stop pregnancy. Your sister uses birth control for her acne, not the morning after pill.

Oops I read the fml wrong. Thought it said birth control

It's not the daughter being stupid. Sex education is very badly taught. Why should she punish her daughter? If anything she ought to teach her about safe sex so that she won't end up pregnant or with an infection because, let's face it, she'll probably do it again. Taking away privileges will reinforce the idea that sex is wrong, which it isn't.

I agree with you to a certain extent. But if she's only something like 13? Then I can't see allowing her to continue with being sexually active and permitting it. Absolutely educate her but having her think that sex at such a young age is acceptable??? A young mind might not know the difference between sex and love yet. And might just be doing it only because of pressure from a boyfriend or peers. Proper guidance is important.

She might be confused about morning after pills and birth control pills. The birth control pills can help your acne

Guess you probably should have had a real sex talk with her. At least now you have a wonderful opportunity to tell her the truth!

There's a difference between educating a teen on sex and proper protection and endorsing the teen having sex. Also, realistically love usually has little to nothing to do with teenagers having sex and girls pressure guys just as much as the other way around. Approaching a sex discussion with the assumption that the girl is being pressured (doesn't really want sex) and a guy wants it 24/7 does very little good. Too often the sex talk with a son basically goes "use a condom" and the talk with a girl involves a lengthy discussion about love, feelings, saving yourself for someone special, not giving it away, respecting yourself enough not to be a '****', etc. People assume sex is a bigger deal when it comes to girls so it's approached in a different manner that may not be beneficial to that particular person. Each person is different so it's important to learn about his/her thoughts and feelings prior to any discussion. It's entirely plausible that a guy may be feeling extreme pressure to have sex and feel uncomfortable and that a girl basically just wants to get laid.

Yeah you saying "don't forbid it" was what threw me off. Hey, no parenting skills is going to work on every child. What works for one might not on another. Having an open nonjudgmental relationship with a child would be great but the "free to do whatever you want just as long as you're safe" does not always apply. Sex is more than just a physical act. There's a lot of emotion scars that it can cause especially with an undeveloped mind.
