Today, after discussing having our son's hair styled nicely for school, my ex returned him with his head shaved. I didn't realise bald was in style for 4-year-olds. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 4-year-old son cut half of my hair when I was asleep because he thought I would look better that way. FML
Today, my son told me he needed a haircut. I was thrilled that he actually requested it, since he normally throws a fit over getting them. He described the cut he wants. It's a mullet. FML
Today, while my mother-in-law visited, I asked if she wouldn't mind watching my son for 10 minutes as I had run out of baby shampoo. I came back home to see she had shaved his head completely bald. That was his very first haircut. 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, my son gave me a bottle of shampoo for my birthday. I'm as bald as a coot. FML
Today, I asked my dad to give me a haircut. After 20 minutes of "fuck"s and "shit"s, he gave up and just shaved my head bald. I pull off the look so badly that two people I don't even know have already told me I look like a psychopath. FML
Today, I took my 5 year-old son to the barbershop. When the barber had finished with him, I told the barber, "While we're here, I might as well get a trim too." My son then exclaimed loudly inside a very full barbershop, "Dad! You don't need a haircut, you need hair!" FML
Today, I found out, after having my third and last child, that I'm balding. I'm only 23 and quite frankly It's very much noticeable. How did I find out? My four-year-old daughter pointed it out to me, saying, "Mommy, why you shed like the dog?" FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Welp, your ex left you no choice; the only means of retaliation is to send your son back scalped.

That explains why he's / she's the ex, tho...
I can't stand leg puns! 23
By any chance, did you break up with this guy because of his hatred of Jews and his effort to help the superior Aryan race succeed?

Sorry OP, your ex sounds like a real a@#$. Bless your son because it seems as his dad does not want to. Also a review of his future visits may be in order. Check with your lawyer.

Well it IS summer in Australia and nothing says mamma's boy like a cute hairstyle for the first day of school. Thumbs up to dad!

Yes, thumbs up to dad for setting his four year old up for even WORSE teasing than if his hair was styled. He's four, meaning his oldest classmates could MAYBE be six at most. Nearly every child that age does not have a concept of being a "mama's boy," because they're at an age at which they are still HIGHLY attached to their caretakers. Add in that pretty much every parent gets their kid's hair styled and cut the day before they first go to school, he WOULD have just been another kid in the crowd. NOW he's going to stick out like a sore thumb and far more likely to be bullied. And when bullying starts at that age it does not stop unless something major happens. So no, not "thumbs up to dad," dad needs some common sense and basic instructions at good parenting beat into his basic logic and empathy deprived brain. Especially since he's using the kid to passive-aggressively get back at his ex-wife without giving a **** about the collateral damage to his son. So, if you think that's acceptable behavior from a parent or guardian, do the world a favor and don't have kids, and if you already have kids, I feel really bad for them.

Luckily it's not a permanent thing. It'll grow back, don't stress.

Are you worried he'll develop a Krillin complex?
