Today, I found my 6 year-old daughter upstairs, lying on the floor with scissors. She was giving, "the carpet a haircut." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my four-year-old daughter thought it'd be funny to cut my hair while I was sleeping. FML
Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML
Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
Today, I woke up to find my 6-year-old daughter had duct taped me to my bed and dropped my wallet down the toilet. Well played. FML
Today, I walked into the kitchen to find my daughter trying to cut her wrist with a plastic spoon. When I asked her why, she said her friend Lucy did that so her parents would buy her pretty things. My daughter and Lucy are both four years old. FML
Today, I awakened from my peaceful slumber in a great mood. I walked into my closet, ready to pick out an outfit for the day, to find my two year old daughter, kneeling on the floor with a pair of scissors in her hand, cutting up my wedding dress - my wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of scissors. My mom was cutting my hair while I was asleep. FML
Today, my daughter hugged me around the neck and whispered, "I'm going to cut your head off." I'm afraid to go to sleep now. FML
Today, my six year old daughter cut out the stomach area of four of my favorite shirts. When I asked her why she had done so she replied, "So that they fit your tummy better, Mommy." FML

I see a future special ed kid. (I know; let the down votes come)
ElricMustang 23
So then why would you write something so disrespectful? The kid didn't know any better, and even though you did, you wrote that?

When I was 6, I was capable of doing multiplication & division and I had a vocabulary of 30,000 words; I was called "above average". A 6 year old "giving a carpet a haircut" is most likely an "average" 6 year old.

#56 would you like a cookie to go with your special snowflake award? And it's extremely rude to call someone else's child below average or say they belong in special ed especially for something like that. For goodness sake she's six! Of course she'll do stupid shit every now and then because that's what kids do. It's the parent's job to tell kids which stupid shit is okay to do and which isn't. To say that she must be stupid shows that you have very little experience with kids and you're extremely judgemental

#56 likes to comment about how she special she is for her age. Too mature for a movie despite being 13, so much vocabulary at 6. Don't you realize you're getting the wrong attention for that?

#56 claims to be some sort of genius, yet does not know that "would of" is wrong. (See 1st comment thread on previous FML). Impressive.

To #56 There's no need to brag about your IQ. No one asked
MisterEx 28
"Average" people usually start stupid then get smarter as they grow up. Apparently #56 had it the other way around.

#56, How the hell do you know how large your vocabulary is?

When I was a kid I put a whole bottle of shampoo in our carpet. I thought it looked lovely, however my parents did not.

I decides it would be a good idea to iron the carpet, at a rental house. Lovely little black spot was left over haha.

When I was little I decided to play with clay on the ground and got it all stuck to the carpet. My parents weren't very happy about it.
Bentonic 11
... When I was little, I did the same thing as the girl in the FML...
LisaDay 14
i did too.

I tried every attempt at killing my hold fish when I was about 5. Not on purpose though, I simply tried to shampoo and condition it and put lotion on after like my mom did me.

poor carpet didn't even have a chance, but she's 6, shouldn't she know better?
chinaski7628 32
No. She's six. Six year olds are not known for their clear thinking and logical choices.
nellbell414 13
I remember doing this when I was that age, she's just a kid
tournamentdecide 33
I did this too!
sweetbliss3 37
she's six. not 2. she should know better. usually parents teach their kids what is right and wrong. I don't know any kids who do this when they're that old.
twodotgirl 8
not true a lot of 6 year olds aren't told to not cut the carpet... or cut there dolls hair because they think it grows back... you just expect to much from children I feel as though u would be a worse parent than the little girls parents
HammyBear13 8
36, I really hope you don't have kids. This is perfectly normal behavior for a 6year old. You need a lesson on children.
sweetbliss3 37
seriously? it's about rules and right and wrong. for those saying that they don't know better because they are children, well I feel sorry for you. I don't care, it's all opinion anyway.
stargirl_95 24
You don't seem to get it. Six year olds will do stupid things. That's how they learn a lot of the time. Also, most of the time as a parent/guardian you can't predict what your kids are going to do so you can only make a rule about something or tell them it's wrong to do it AFTER they've already done it. You seem to have really unrealistic expectations of parents and kids so you must not have much experience with young children.
sweetbliss3 37
I have plenty of kid experience, and I know that I don't know any 6 year old that cut up carpet. then again, with kids in the house people usually put up things, if not being supervised. that's why you don't leave shit like that laying around.
nevergiveinever 19
you can't put up a carpet. and not every six year old is the same. this also has probably happened to kids older and younger than six. some kids, despite age, like to cut things because being young, they think it will regrow like their own hair. after learning that this is not the case or being scolded by their parents, they normally do not do it again. it has nothing to do with being a specific age, kids are kids and will make mistakes until they are told that it is wrong.

It is not a matter of placing things out of reach. My mother tried very hard with me but I took things I liked and hid them very very well. I took scissors to my hair the scissors that had been missing for at least three months. And just because they don't understand how things like that work doesn't make them not clever. Many things adults do not see as tools are tools to young children

When I was her age I asked for a "blanket I could brush" for Christmas. Try getting her a fuzzy blanket.

Perhaps she overheard talk about shaving/cutting carpet.
petrolhead 12
your kid is concerned about hygiene :) way to go!

Uhh... What?

@6 getting haircuts isn't really a hygiene thing ...

Uh #69, you then said exactly the same thing about #56 who is a different person, who are you actually talking about?
Inediblepeaches 15
guys, carpet is another term for pubic hair. "does the carpet match the drapes?"
Squtchy 11
Oh that's horrible! She didn't give the carpet a complimentary lolli pop did she? Smh.
WhoopteDo 26
Better the carpet than a person's hair.
gracehi 33
People hair grows back, though. Carpet fibers do not.
fantasyworld 39
I think every girl has attempted to cut hair.
CurvyisCool 22
Well, maybe the carpet decided it was time for a trim.
GetIt23 8
At least she wasn't giving herself a haircut.
awesomeamandas 37
hair grows back, carpet doesnt. i say cutting the carpets hair is far worse than cutting her own hair.
