Today, I went to pick up my daughter from my dad's house. He'd shaved her head bald. "For a laugh." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my dad came up behind me with a pair of scissors, and pretended to snip away at my hair. I was sure he was joking, so I just sat there and didn't react. Later, I felt the back of my head and looked at my hand. Suffice it to say, I now have a large bald patch on the back of my head. FML

Today, I asked my dad to give me a haircut. After 20 minutes of "fuck"s and "shit"s, he gave up and just shaved my head bald. I pull off the look so badly that two people I don't even know have already told me I look like a psychopath. FML

Today, while my mother-in-law visited, I asked if she wouldn't mind watching my son for 10 minutes as I had run out of baby shampoo. I came back home to see she had shaved his head completely bald. That was his very first haircut. FML

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

Today, after discussing having our son's hair styled nicely for school, my ex returned him with his head shaved. I didn't realise bald was in style for 4-year-olds. FML

How thoughtful
Today, my dad decided to shave his beard. I told him I wanted him to keep it, so he took the shavings, put them in a jar, and left it in my room. 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, my father cut my hair for the first time. Now, I always have to wear a cap when I go outside. FML

Manic pixie dream girl
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

Kick him in the nuts "for a laugh".

While he shouldn't have done that without your consent/her consent (depending on her age), it's not like this is the end of the world. Make sure she knows she's still beautiful no matter what. (Which I'm sure you do anyway)

I'm sorry this is the funniest FML ever

Don't be sorry

I'm trying to imagine my reaction if I were OP's husband/wife, trusting someone with your child isn't easy and even if you know your in-laws raised your partner, it's still hard. I imagine OP's daughter is less than 4, I would say even younger, I can't picture an older child letting someone shave them. In any case it would be a loooooong time before he got to babysit again and I would be extremely angry. Shaving someone's head is already stupid, shaving a kid's head is beyond that, babies' heads are very fragile so shaving is a big no, and shaving a toddler ? Well that's stupid too, kids make fun of each other for the smallest reasons, a bald girl seems very easy to laugh at --'

as a girl who was born with alopecia, and has been bald all her life, I can confirm that bald girls are treated like shit as kids.

As a girl that had alopecia, I second this, #65.

Does your daughter like it though? If she's sad about it, that really sucks, but if she likes it and was into the "joke" as much as your dad, then whatever, let her rock her new look.

Depending on the age of the child, she may not fully understand her actions, she could be into it at first and then totally regret it later and not understand why it can't go back to normal quickly

if my father did that to any of my nieces I wouldn't have any sympathy for him when my sister beat him and not let them near him again for awhile
