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

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

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

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)

Successful people say "your hair is a dress you can never take off".. Wrong

I know he shouldn't have done that without your permission, but maybe you can turn this into a learning moment for your daughter if she's old enough. Tell her that it's alright to look and dress however she wants, and if other people don't like it or except her, she will always be beautiful to you. When I was about 14, I shaved my own head while I was at a friends and loved the way it looked. When I showed my mom, she didn't really say anything. But later I heard her yelling at that friends mom for letting me do it. It hurt me, even though she was never directly upset with me. I shave my head every summer, and I love it as much as I did then, but I still hear my mom's voice in the back of my head. Make sure your daughter knows that you aren't angry or it can hurt her later on. Teach her to not listen to other kids, or adults, if they make fun of her. Let her know that what other people think doesn't matter, and as long as she's happy with herself, it's no one else's business.

But it isnt what she wanted was it? Its what her grandfather wanted.

OP, if you have the ability - limit her visits to her grandpa to "supervised visits only". Good caretakers don't do stuff like this

Your dad is an idiot. Shave his head and kicks him in the nuts for a laugh
