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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to blow-dry the sweat off her armpits instead of showering. FML
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
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 found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML
Today, I realized I've been using conditioner instead of shampoo for the last month. I was wondering why my hair never felt clean but always smelled great. Now I have to explain to my friends that my new "shampoo routine" was actually just expensive conditioner and ignorance. FML
Today, my mom was proud for making a positive change in her life. The change in question? She now throws away the smelly hair she combs out of the dog, instead of keeping it for unspecified later use. FML
Today, for the first time ever, I was able to have a good hair day without blow drying it or using product. Or so I thought. The first words my mom spoke to me when I came downstairs were “Go fix your hair.” FML
Today, I got up extra early to curl my hair because I wanted to look nice at school for a change. After coming downstairs my mom yells at me and says, "See, when you don't wake up on time your hair looks like that. You could have at least combed it!" FML
Today, I found out the crappy shampoo I've been borrowing from my girlfriend is actually "feminine wash." FML
Today, my step-dad explained to me why he doesn't need to wash his body. He condescendingly said, "Well when you shampoo your hair, the soap runs down your body and cleans everything." He's 37 years-old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think the real problem here isn't that the mother has "yucky greasy" hair, it's that her 5 year old daughter is washing her hair everyday! Has anyone thought about how their hair was when they were that age? Maybe its just me but when I was younger, I would have a bath once, maybe twice a week. And I don't remember having greasy hair. The only time I started getting greasy hair was in grade 9, which was also the same time I started washing it everyday. Hmm. The reason why you have to wash your hair everyday because it gets greasy is BECAUSE you wash it everyday. I know you all think I'm crazy/stupid or whatever but just hear me out. Since you wash your hair everyday, it dries out your hair BUT your hair gets used to being washed everyday so when you skip a day, it gets oily. If you wash if every other day for a month, your hair won't get so oily so quickly. Understand? Good, and if you still don't agree with me, go ahead. I know I'm right and that you're wrong so, suck it :)

You probably do have greasy hair if you think that it's odd to shower daily. Showering daily is perfectly normal, especially if you have thin and/or straight hair.

Well at least you don't have to worry about your daughter not wanting to take baths later in life

Guys.. You're only supposed to wash your hair every other day or every two days, the chemicals are bad for your hair and I think your scalp as well if you wash it every single day

Some people can't do that. I know that if I take a shower at night time, the next morning, I wake up and it's like I haven't washed my hair in 3 days. So some people do have to wash their hair every day, so they don't look filthy, especially if you have a job or go to school.

My hair doesn't get greasy until day 3 or 4. I once lived with someone who thought it was disgusting to not wash hair daily, so I put in the extra effort and was rewarded with a ridiculous amount of split ends and overall brittle hair. Needless to say, I no longer shampoo daily. Hair is still scented on day 2, fyi.

How are you all so sure that OP doesn't wash her hair every day? Washing your hair too often can make it greasier than washing less frequently, or maybe it wasn't even grease. Maybe her hair was shiny from conditioner and the 5 year old mistook it for grease. She is 5 after all. Or maybe she saw her mum with greasy hair one time and only one time but decided she didn't want it for herself. Will you people please learn to think before you comment something mean?

Some people just have more oil in their hair than others. Also, for longer hair, or dry hair, it's better to wash it every other day. You still wash your body every day, just alternate which day you wash your hair.
