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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

She's teaching her daughter that being unique is stupid, which is stupid. She's stupid.

Teaching little children to judge others on their appearance. Way to go, mom, great parenting. I don't know why, but to me she kind of sounds like she's jealous.

with an attitude like the she's going to cause problems for her own daughter when she's older

Yeah. she really is. I grew up with my parents judging everyone for sexuality, tattoos, hair color, hair cuts, fashion sense... now that I'm moved out I've got two tattoos, my nose and cartilage of my ear pierced, and crazy hair color. And I'm not straight. I hate what my parents did to me when I was younger. I just pray I'll be a better mother to my children and let them express themselves and be their own people.

Gee. So many judgmental people think that people that have non-natural hair colours have mental problems or something. There is really nothing wrong with it. Purple hair is AWESOME!

Oh my god past and passed are not interchangeable. Past means something that happened before the present. Passed is when someone passes you on the street. ****

"A little girl walked past (me)". That's technically how the sentence should read. Yeah, how do you like them apples.
Why_me499 21
Hate to say it but I think you need a refresher course on grammar. If she said she PASSED them on the street then that is where you would use that word, but saying a little girl walked PASSED her is grammatically incorrect. Before you make yourself sound like an idiot, at least make sure you know what you're talking about.

Wow. What a bitch! For what it's worth, Op, I side with the little girl. Kids don't have a filter and usually speak the truth on such matter. So, you must have looked enchanting to her to be thought of as a mermaid!

It's sad to think that soon that mother will have converted her free spirited, open minded daughter into someone judgemental like her.
