Today, I had to teach my younger brother to shave with a regular disposable razor because our dad uses an electric one and I'm the only other person in the family with enough facial hair to know how to use a razor. I probably would have been proud if I wasn't a girl. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got an electric razor and a lesson from my dad on how to shave my mustache and chin. I also got my period. 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, my boyfriend told me he'd help me shave my mustache. I'm a girl. FML
Today, for the third time, I had to tell my stepfather to stop using my razor. It seems when I told him last time that I use it on my armpits, that only encouraged the behaviour. FML
Today, I caught my sister using my shaver to trim her pubic hair. FML
Today, whilst taking a shower, I noticed my razor wasn't in its usual spot. Upon inspecting it closer, I noticed that there were tiny white hairs in it. When confronting my father about it, he claimed the "pink razors" are his. We've been sharing the same razor this entire time. FML
Today, I had to remove my brother's pubic hairs from the bathtub before bathing my son. FML
Today, I walked in on my mother using a razor to shave my dad's cream-covered testicles. FML
Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML
Today, I had to come to terms with having more facial hair than my boyfriend, despite being female since birth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hear the circus is looking for a new bearded lady.
Branflakes78 13
Oo come on now that is not even called for!!
instnt1nfction 17
Your face wasn't even called for

Oh dear god!!! O___O I feel sorry:( I don't think u should shave, try epilating. Painful, but will eventually reduce hair growth

What girl can post an FML like this one and not see that coming from a mile away? OP deserved it.

#60 - I fail to see how she deserves it? It's not her fault her face has some "extra" facial hair. Making fun of her is definitely not going to help either. Your logic is somewhat strange to me.

The only funny thing about this comment is something I had on the news the other day. We have the Cajun heartland state fair going on and they were talking about the bearded lady being too old to come out with the rest of the carnival workers.
MizzErikaHart 8
So the position IS open?
Drigr 9
*looks at OPs name* Why the hell are all the circus/bearded lady comments getting thumbed down? OP said it herself.
MizzErikaHart 8
I don't know why it got thumbed down anyway. I like wisecracks tho, that's just me I guess.

OP probably has a syndrome known as PCOS which causes women to have more body and facial hair like men. Does it mean she's a man in any way? No it does not. She just possibly has a hormone imbalance. Which I have myself. She doesn't make it clear if she has facial hair, it's very possible that she just knows how to shave from being careful and shaving her legs. Don't be quick to assume under the little information given. No need to be rude either.
glitterysnails 7
PCOS only /might/ cause excess hair growth. She has hirsutism if anything. If this is the case then you can get the hair lasered off

#62 no I think #60 is right she shoulda seen it coming. If you don't want rude comments, she shouldn't have posted it and kept it to herself.

Thank you 127... 62 if you can't understand the logic you may want to go get tested for down syndrome. That is the only way you could be confused.

But isn't that what fml was made for!? To post fml type comments? So technically your wrong cause she shouldn't have seen it coming and it was really rude!!

If it helps, I am only slightly turned on!!

No. Just no.

The bearded lady needs loving too. It's not fair that the trapeze artists and the strong man get all the attention.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
you should still be proud. most husbands would love it if their wives could shave them if they know how to.
therealslim 15
They would?
I_Punch_Babies 7
i do. my wife shaves me in the shower all the time. face AND balls!

That's a pretty hairy situation to be in.

if it's that bad, you could get hair removal surgery O.P.
twisted_cherub 14
That costs hundreds of dollars and takes several years for electrolysis. Laser removal also costs a lot, can take several visits to complete, and has a chance (although slim) of leaving permanent scarring. Most women shave their legs, pits and bikini area anyway; what's a few more seconds with a razor? Although bleaching or waxing are better.
hatesfate 6
The OP is obviously bothered enough to make an FML about her facial hair, so 9s suggestion is a great one. It costs thousands of dollars for a car when one can ride public transportation, if someone wants something bad enough be it for convenience or just because it's something they want to change, the price is irrelevant as the outcome is priceless.
thiscrazything 1
True, unless you are broke and unemployed.
ImaginaryFoe 1
I never understood how bleaching caught on. Is it better for a woman to have a blonde moustache? Laser hair removal can leave a scar. Depilatories or waxing might be OP's best bet. The hair gets finer over time and you don't have to do it daily. Electrolysis seems like it would be a great investment in yourself. If I had OP's issue, I'd manage to pay for it. Disposable razors and time spent shaving still add up to a cost.

Actually, there's s thing called "silk'n sense epil" which is a hair removal lazer for home use. It's got some great recommondations, though I haven't tried it myself. Costs about 500$. I would say it's worh it if It works...

Maybe you should wax your face??
debbster7 18
True, but then it lasts way longer and it's a lot smoother
kaycee1996 5
And the hair doesn't grow back as thick, dark stubble and you get less hair growing back each time you wax, it's a win win! Also the hair only has to be 2-5mm long to wax and if it's light it shouldn't be noticeable, so yeah.... Wax it OP!
MizzErikaHart 8
I wish u did only need 2mm to wax. Sorry, but it's more like 5-6mm...

In many shopping malls there are ladies that "thread". I get them to thread my eyebrows, and it's completely painless. I'm pretty sure they can do the whole face as well.
flapdoodle 2
Because having your fem-beard removed in the middle of a crowded mall wouldn't be embarrassing at all...
Megan98 18
That's VERY true if it wasn't private, but at my local mall there are private rooms.
Trisha_aus 15
It's not painless..still painful but not as much as waxing
hippie_lover123 6
no no for facial hair it doesnt have to be long
demonkonga 5
Dont join a circus u grow a beard and show it to a guy u hate and say this is how a man should look like unlike your punk ass
xcarxcrashx 9
Yeah. That will totally show him.
blacksswan 10
Aw you are not alone. I was in the same situation. My mom got me into using wax for my face and trust me it's made my life easier. Now I can go for weeks without worrying about plucking etc. Give it a try.

No this wasnt suppose to be posted here -____-
