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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

You should cut your little girl's hair just like yours. :P

For some reason, FML ate my comment...bah. Anyway, I'm a female to male trans person, and when I first started trying to pass, I would get a pixie cut. Kids would assume I was a guy, but most adults would not. Don't know what it is about that haircut.

When I was a kid, my mum did the same and I told her she had broccoli hair. She never cut it short again after the comments her four year old made.

Short hair isn't at all unattractive on many women. The right face (most importantly) can pull it off flawlessly. I've seen plenty of stunning women with short hair. That said, I still prefer long hair. Short hair can be sexy, but long hair is almost always sexier =P

Children are impressionable. She must've picked it up from one of her friends. Meh.

For everyone who is saying the school shouldn't have called, pretend the situation was really as the child said it was. Her mom up and left and all of a sudden she had two daddies. If this was really the situation, the school would need to know about it. It would be a huge change for any child, especially a young one. So, the school had to call, find out what was going on. Not because they're homophobic, but because these changes could effect the child's behaviour at school.

Your hair cut and your daughter's rude comments about it are neither here nor there - why the **** did her school call???? It's none of their business!

I would have said in a deep voice, yes, so what.
