Today, in a state of extreme boredom, I decided to dress my 6-month-old son in girl's clothes. As he sat in my lap in a frilly dress, and as I was placing a very pink and lacy bow on his head, my mother-in-law unexpectedly walked in. She now thinks I'm mentally unstable and should be in therapy. FML

OP here. For those that question why I had girl baby clothes it is because I have clothes from when I was a baby. They are too big for him but I was bored. And for those that think that babies are entertaining 24/7 then you are obviously not a parent. I am home alone with my child for 7 hours a day and I don't really know very many people or go too many places. My mother-in-law doesn't believe in knocking so she has a habit of just walking in. Also, I intended for this to be a one time silly event between just my child and I perhaps with me telling my husband later. I had no intentions of taking pictures to share on FB or any other social media site. (In fact, my child isn't pictured anywhere online.) Also, if my son "turns out gay" I won't really care because a few of my family members are homosexual. Lastly, I could've let my baby play with his toys but he vastly prefers me entertaining him over his toys.

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

Explain to her how that stuff is all socially constructed anyway. Pink used to be considered a boy's color!

How are you bored with your own 6 month old baby?

I see nothing wrong with this I plan on dressing my son up in dresses for Halloween or just for fun. its funny

What type of dumb ****** am I?!?!

He's not going to remember it and you can't do much with babies.

People used to dress both genders the same way even as young children. Google a baby picture of Teddy Roosevelt, also it's dangerous to leave your door unlocked like that.

You need help smh

Seriously. Is there anyone on fml that knows how to lock a door? I am constantly reading about people walking unannounced into people's homes. Its ridiculous. ydi
