Today, I dyed my hair purple. I came out of the salon and a little girl walked past and said, "Wow, you look like a mermaid!", to which her mother quickly said, "No she doesn't, she looks like her parents don't love her." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the hair salon. When I got home, my three-year-old daughter told me I looked like Dora the Explorer. FML
Today, I babysat for two little girls, who wanted to play 'mermaids'. I smiled, and said that I would love to play with them. The older girl laughed, saying "You can't be a mermaid. Mermaids are pretty." FML
Today, my mom was feeling down because of her gray hairs. In an attempt to cheer her up, I suggested that she dye them. Her hair turned orange. FML
Today, while changing my clothes, my 3 year-old daughter informed me that I looked like a zebra. Noticing my shocked face, she tried comforting me by telling me I was a pretty zebra because I was a purple zebra. She was talking about my stretch marks. FML
Today, I went to a salon. As soon as I walked in, someone ran to me and inspected my hair and said, "We can fix this." I was there to get my daughter's hair done. 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
Today, at the Mommy and Me dance class that I take my four year old daughter to, the instructor had us do a stretch, telling us to pretend we're mermaids. My daughter said to me, "But you're not a mermaid, you're a whale!" FML
Today, I was walking down the sidewalk and heard a little girl ask her dad why I had blue hair. He said, "Sometimes drugs will make people do stupid things." FML
Today, I’ve been dying my hair an auburn color for years. It looks so natural and get complimented often. Before I can even say thank you, my daughter or partner blurts out, “It's not real” or “It’s fake”. Everyone laughs and it’s a little less awkward, I guess… FML
Today, I went to get my hair highlighted at the salon. The salonist mixed up my blonde hair dye with some other girl's hot pink and violet dye. Now I look like a cheap hooker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's ridiculous. If anything, that little girl's mother doesn't love HER enough to let her express herself. She's teaching her daughter to judge others based on what they look like. Parenting fail.

People these days have no manners...

#29 Please stop saying "these days" as if this is some new occurrence
TallMist 32
Because there was literally no one without manners until this generation, right, 29? Oh... Wait... There was ALWAYS people without manners and, unfortunately, there always will be.
interesting33 37
people have ALWAYS - said the younger generation were failing and going to pot. There are records of it in like the 1200s where professors talk about the younger generation and how disastrous they are.

There's no need to be so hostile about it. Girls used to be sent to school to learn nothing but how to be a proper lady (I.e. learn her manners and social courtesies) So, yes, technically speaking I do think we can say people have less manners "these days".

I have to wonder if the mother had purple hair too with that kind of judgment.

Sounds to me you are crying out for attention or expressing yourself as it is called these days. Ask for hug, you may feel better.

You need to go back to your kindergarten class, because you're clearly not mature enough to understand what you're talking about.
Cads1 24
Maturity has no place here. This is not an advice forum. Bring back the sledging. It brightens up people's day!
LyricaSilvan 30
Could you maybe stop targeting me? It's none of your business what I say in my comments.
Cads1 24
Do YOU need a hug?
LyricaSilvan 30
Not from you, that's for sure.
Cads1 24
Perhaps a tissue?
LyricaSilvan 30
No thanks. Pretty sure any from you would be covered in **** stains, anyway.
Cads1 24
lol, real mature :)
LyricaSilvan 30
Ooh, because I totally care what someone on the internet thinks of me. Especially here. Get over yourself, kiddo.
LyricaSilvan 30
Also, it's pretty obvious you're the one down-voting all my replies. My advice: don't dish it out if you can't take it.
Cads1 24
I think you miss understand, I am enjoying this :)
LyricaSilvan 30
So was I, briefly. But now you're starting to bore me. Have a nice night.

I really don't understand why some people think this is a YDI. I know purple isn't a typical hair color, but it has no bearing on how intelligent or good a person is...or how much their parents love them.

It's really sad how the small things a parent can say to a child can shape how they will judge people when they are older. No one is ever born racist. No one is ever born religious either now that I come to think of it, we should be allowed to choose the way we feel about things not get told what is and isn't by our parents.

That is very good advice, something we should all take into account.
