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)

Hopefully OP is playing an April fools joke on us, because no sane person would shave a child's head without permission. I wouldn't let your daughter be alone with him anymore.

He never would be left alone with my child again. That is not acceptable. Maybe he would find it funny for bullies to make fun of her and her eventually harming or killing herself because of it. Extremely childish of him.

When he's sleeping, shave his head bald for a "laugh". Joking aside, if she's not too torn on it, I wouldn't be too upset, as long as she's happy and I'm sure she's beautiful either way, it shouldn't be a problem.

That's pretty funny tho and she's a kid it won't affect her that much

I can't even imagine how upset I would be. He would never be allowed to watch her again and possibly not even allowed AROUND if he did that without consent. Not only will it most likely attract negative attention, it completely disrespects you to do something like that to your child without your approval. If he does this "for a laugh" and obviously doesn't respect you as her parent, what else is he willing to do?

How old is she?

It's a nice way to be sure you won't ask him again.

Depending how she took it it can be a huge trauma. I hope she took it as a joke also...
