Today, I got my daughter's school pictures. Instead of smiling, she did the duck face. She's 6. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, while looking through my wedding photos, I realised my wife had done a duck face in every single one. FML
Today, I caught my little sister taking a selfie in the mirror with a fake nose piercing, peace sign, and a duck face. She's 12. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 18-year-old daughter why she can't pull a duck face pose for her driver's license. She still doesn't believe me. FML
Today, we got our family pictures back from the printers. I complained to my mom about the ones she picked. "Oh don't worry," she said. "I had them photoshop out your gut." I was talking about my smile. FML
Today, my 16-year-old daughter burned all her baby photos because they were unflattering and made her "look fat". FML
Ugh
Today, formal portraits of my entire class were posted online, with about five photos per person. As my mom was looking at them, she was commenting about how pretty all my classmates look. When she got to my photos, all she had to say was, "Ugh". FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter threw a tantrum in the middle of a store, all because I wouldn't buy her a pushup bra. FML
Blunder
Today, I was working at a portrait studio and was taking pictures of a little girl, I kept telling the girl to stop making silly faces when she smiles because her eyes go cross-eyed. After the third time I said it her mom grabbed the little girl and left. Turns out, she was naturally cross-eyed. FML
Today, my mom took a picture of me. All she could say about the picture was, "At least your sister is pretty." FML

Kids these days. I recommend picture retake day. Unless you want something to laugh at in the future.

Be careful. It's only a matter of time before she gets a yolo tattoo on her lower back. It's a slippery slope from here.

How does your comment even make sense? How does OP deserve this?

You have failed as a parent.

Don't ever tell someone they failed as a parent because their child is copying a duck face that they see on TV, from older sisters, or anywhere...yes its a little annoying but don't be that extreme. This is only a moment a parent takes in slowly and laughs because there's no need to get mad, kids are innocent. Say you sorry for being rude now!!!

#41, what if the parent in question (Not on the FML) is a drunk, drug abuser, neglecting, teenage mother? I've read stories where the parent beats their child, so I think there is, indeed, a line where someone has failed as a parent.

@54 Please use at least a small bit of intelligence when replying on FML. #41 very obviously stated "because their child is copying a duck face," which, last I checked, can't be translated to #41 condoning drunk drug abusing neglectful teenage child-beaters. Idiot.

#102 I was only replying back to the first half of the first sentence...

It'll be perfect blackmail material for when she's older and boyfriends come over!

Honestly, she's six, no idea what you're worrying about. People have always done duck faces since forever but it's turned into more of a trend now I guess.
TheDrifter 24
Since forever? Perhaps you need some perspective. In the 80s and 90s we made fish faces if we wanted to make a silly face. The duck face is fairly new, it started around the same time as MySpace, if you remember what that was.
yahoowizard 16
There were pictures of people during the 60s making that face, and it was just meant to be more of a kissing face I guess.

The other day, it was a kid demanding a push up bra. Today, it's a duck facing kid. Tomorrow what will it be? A 5 yo telling his/her parents "stop treating me like a kid, i'm five remember?"????

These kids are growing up too quickly...Talk about losing childhood, they don't have one to lose.

I've read the news story of the kindergartener bringing crack cocaine in for show and tell. We're already down the rabbit hole.
