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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
Today, my daughter spent three hours crying and having a temper tantrum over being forced to have a bath after four days without one. My daughter is 16. FML
Today, a little girl pointed to the acne on my face and said to her dad, "Look at how many mosquito bites she has on her face!" FML
Today, my daughter refuses to make eye contact, won’t eat any of the food I make, and still throws tantrums in middle school. I have no idea where I went wrong raising the brat. FML
Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to blow-dry the sweat off her armpits instead of showering. FML
Today, I noticed my daughter’s bathroom was dusty, so I screamed at her for keeping the bathroom in unacceptable condition. She had a panic attack and has been crying for the past week. She’s 24. 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, I got into a screaming match with the mother of my kids. I told her they need to bathe more often. According to her, anything more than once a week is excessive and bad for their skin. My kids play sports and smell like puppies from the pound. She doesn’t care. FML
Today, I finally figured out why my 5 year-old daughter washes her hair every day. It's because she doesn't want to have "yucky greasy hair like her mommy." FML
Today, my 30 year-old daughter was fired from her job for bad hygiene, despite getting multiple warnings and write ups. She says she’s not showering to save money, and this “inflation shit is out of control.” According to her, me and the “Demoncrats voted for it” and made it this way. FML

you know, some people with great hygiene are unlucky enough to still be prone to acne. in pretty sure she doesn't enjoy waking up to zits everyday. fml for her, not you.

I wash my face every day and still get the occasional breakout and I'm pushing 40. maybe try being a little less judgemental and be supportive of your child instead?

Um, I’m 27 going on 28, have good genes and great skin, amazing products, a strong morning & nightly skin care routine, and I still get the occasional breakouts / hormonal flare ups. It’s ******* life

Acne is a bit more complicated than just washing the face. Some people have hormonal inbalance that can cause acne outbreak. Other times, acne shows up with the period. Have a talk with a dermatologist or an endomcrinoogist and see if they can find if there is an underlying issue.

That's not how acne works. I can go weeks without properly washing my face and all that will happen is my skin will get a little dry and flakey. And oftentimes when I'm on my skincare game I will get a breakout here and there as my skin turns over. Maybe learn a single thing about what you're whining about and stop judging your daughter so damn much. ******* walnut.
