Today, I recently gave birth to my daughter, and my husband and I both have dark hair and bushy eyebrows. We never thought it was a problem until our daughter was born with a dark, bushy unibrow. Now I'm too nervous to take pictures of her 'cause our family and friends laugh every time they see her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I playfully drew thick eyebrows on my one-year-old son to make him look like a cartoon villain. He laughed cutely in the mirror as I took some adorable pictures. When my husband saw, he threw such a horrendous fit about boys and makeup, I was reduced to tears. FML
Today, after much debate, I let my mom wax my eyebrows. Now I get to look super surprised until they grow back. FML
Today, I had my eyebrows waxed for my senior pictures. After manhandling me, the cosmetologist managed to "accidentally" take my whole eyebrow off. It looks like I'll be remembered forevermore as the girl with one eyebrow. FML
Today, my sister gave me a makeover. I protested, but she insisted it'd look great. After an eternity of eyebrow plucking, she handed me the mirror. I now have extremely badly-drawn sharpie eyebrows. FML
Today, I asked my kids if I looked good before going to work. Smiling, they told me I looked wonderful. It wasn't until I got to work and looked into the mirror until I noticed my left eyebrow was gone. FML
Today, my husband and I, as well as our two oldest kids, have dark hair. Our youngest came out with very blonde hair, like my older brother's. My husband insists on calling the baby our little “golden-haired Lannister”, no matter how many times I’ve asked him to stop. He thinks it’s hilarious. FML
Today, my wife and I both have blond hair and blue eyes, we just had a red headed son. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML
Today, I asked my aunt to pluck my eyebrows since hers are perfectly done. What I didn't know is she gets hers professionally shaped and she doesn't know how to shape eyebrows. I now look like a surprised Vulcan. FML
Today, I decided to wax my own eyebrows with a Do It Yourself kit from the pharmacy. I'm now missing half of my right eyebrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I really want to say FYL but if you already can't accept your daughter for who she is then FHL & YDI. Friends and family who laugh at a baby for something she can't help are asshats.

People opinions are the least thing you should care about. Congrats on your beautiful daughter.

Gotta say, even though you should love and accept her either way, thing is, unibrows are extremely easy to fix so ******* fix it or love her and stop being judgmental. If you think keeping her from having pictures of her unibrows at a young age is helping her, all you're doing is telling her everyone has the right idea if they bully and tease her. Instead of reinforcing her confidence down the road you'll be the main reason she gets ripped to pieces. So there are your options, don't give and shit and love her and teach her to love herself or get rid of it with laser hair removal or something and she never has to worry about it.

Congrats on the little cutie, OP. And don't worry, a lot of babies either lose the hair or it lightens as they age. And either way, I'm sure she's beautiful!

As long as you love her for who she is it will be alright

You can take a little eye brow razor and shave the middle. Perfectly painless, my cousin was born the same way and with a full head of hair and my aunt did that

You must have not been around to many newborns. Almost all babies come out with all kinds of body hair, some very dark. This will change most likely, but even if it doesn't, you might want to seek counseling. A mother who doesn't want to take pictures of her newborn baby or love her unconditionally, this might be a serious problem. Good luck, be happy you have a healthy baby. Some parents would give anything to have the miracle you just created.

I bet she's beautiful, anyway! Don't worry, my son's hair color and hairline changed, as did mine. When she's older if probably won't be as "bushy", also, you are gonna notice it more than anyone else cause ur mama

I just had my baby on the 1st, congratulations. I'm sorry your family is so mean. My baby girl has hair all over her ears. She will likely grow out of it as she gets bigger. I bet she's beautiful!

All babies are ugly. But everyone knows you have to pretend theyre not when someone you know has one
