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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my daughter to get the expensive pixie cut she’s been "dying" for. As soon as we got home, my husband burst into hysterical laughter and pointed out that she looks exactly like he did in high school. Now she’s sobbing and begging for either a wig or even more expensive extensions. FML
Today, I video-chatted with my mom and showed her my new, very short haircut. My dad walked in, took one look at me and said, "I can only attribute this to penis envy," and walked out again. FML
Today, I arrived home, having just had my long hair cut and my beard shaved. My idiot daughter’s reaction when she saw me? “Who are you and how did you get in the house?” FML
Today, I got my hair cut short, as it hasn’t been cut in well over a year and I was getting sick of dealing with it. I told the hairdresser I would probably look like a boy but she said it would look cute, and that she’d make sure it looks feminine. I loved how it came out, until the kid at CVS asked, “Can I help you sir?” FML
Today, I went to pick up my daughter from my dad's house. He'd shaved her head bald. "For a laugh." FML
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 decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. FML
Today, after growing my hair out for over a year and constantly being told that it makes me look like a girl, I finally cut it. The first thing my friends said when they saw me was that I now look like a "lesbian." FML
Today, I shaved my face after several months of growth. This would be OK if my 4-year-old daughter would still talk to me. Apparently she doesn't recognise me, and I'm scary. FML
Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is it me or is that just none of the school's damn business? Okay, it's an epic misunderstanding, but the school has absolutely no right to be calling you at home imo, that's private stuff, right? :/

I agree. Seems like it would be a family issue, and not something that the school needs to get into.

I can imagine the school wanting to double check what's going on from a safeguarding position. Working with children I can recall many strange things a child has told me about their family. One memorable example being that they were really a mermaid and went to sleep at night in the bathroom sink. Understanding any large change like this could help the school provide support or not accidentally contradict what's being said at home. Plus changes in parental status could lead to custody changes. The school wouldn't want to send the child home with the wrong person.

My aunt shaved her head when I was little and I was almost afraid to go near her. Maybe you should have made it more gradual somehow? That might have helped. :/ Then again, maybe not, lol.

I started laughing when i read this, but then i realized the school called because they were concerned about a second daddy? WTF! Why is that a concern! I agree with #21, it's none of their business!

That's true. At some point, everyone's mom I know gets this haircut. I'm not sure why that is. Hm

haha, thats cute. people say it's none of the school's business but usually big changes at home can affect school as well (eg. no longer having a mom and having two dads instead, like here!)...so i'm guessing they would be a little shocked her saying that and checking everything was ok :P aww, i miss being a kid. you can get away with saying so much embarrassing and awkward things ^_^
