Today, my 14-year-old daughter convinced my son that when he was born, he was actually born as a girl, but we wanted a boy so bad we had his gender changed. Now he wants to change back to a girl because now he doesn't feel right as a boy. Last year, she got her other brother to cross dress. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to console my bawling 6-year-old son and explain that his sister was lying when she told him that when boys in our family turn 13, they turn into girls. I'm not sure who disappoints me more right now. FML
Today, my older brother managed to convince my younger sister that she's actually a boy, and that she'll soon be getting a penis in the mail, which she excitedly told everyone she could. He convinced me of the exact same thing as well several years ago. FML
Today, my 16-year-old son convinced my 14-year-old daughter that she wasn't allowed to use the ladies bathroom at the shopping centre, because she wasn't wearing a dress like the girl on the sign. He told her girls in pants always used the other one. She believed him. This is my legacy. FML
Today, my eight year-old son came to me and said he thinks it's time he started wearing bras. It turns out his older brother has been mindfucking him for the past several months and has him convinced it's something all boys his age do. I can't convince him otherwise. FML
Today, I received a letter from the state saying my 14-year-old daughter is now legally recognized as a male. I have no idea what happened. FML
Today, I found out that my dad makes me wear dresses and skirts not because I look pretty in them, but because he was sick and tired of people asking him if I was a boy or a girl. FML
Today, I found out that my son has been telling me he's gay so we would allow the "female friend" who is actually his girlfriend to stay over. FML
Today, I, a demigirl struggling with her identity, have decided to change my name. When I told my dad in therapy (of all places) that I was a demigirl, he struggled to understand me. When I told my mom I was changing my name, she yelled at me and refused to call me it. And she wonders why I don't trust her. FML
Today, I explained to my 5 year old daughter that her older sister from my husband's first marriage lives with her mommy, and my daughter lives with us. She exclaimed, "It's not fair! I want two mommies like she has! Can we swap, I like her mommy better than you anyway!" FML
Today, I found out that my son is not really gay. He just told me that so I'd let him have girls in his bedroom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I see a future for OP's daughter as either a highly successful businesswoman or a powerful dictator

#6, is there a difference?
Nordrag 26
Very little. But there are minor differences. Job qualifications are the same though.

What if during the talk, op's daughter manages to convince op to change genders?

Little kids always try to convince their siblings crazy thing –__–. When I was 4, my 6 year old sister tried to convince me that everyone is born with a penis but if the parents want a girl they just cut it off.__.

Or maybe she just wants a sister very badly.

I can't wait to see what she tells him next

#41, only she's not a "little girl", she's already 14 years old
ohcheriecherie 20
i used to try to convince my brother to let me do his hair and nails. to no avail. I need to learn some rhetoric skills from OP's daughter

41- OMG that's priceless. That was probably horrible for you though:(

Theyll learn eventually. Dont worry OP

Learn to use an apostrophe
hcollins1 18
And the FML grammar nazi strikes again. I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't notice the apostrophe missing, maybe it's because I don't care. Since when did FML start turning into an English class?

If you're playing this game #76, learn to use a period.

Maybe she’s trying to tell her parents: „Please, give me a little sister.“

"Give me a little sister and I'll stop making your sons question their gender."

If I can't have a sister ill have a homosexual brother

Cross-dressing != Homosexuality

"Most transvestite fancy girls." "Who told you that?" "A transvestite told me!"

How old are your sons? Poor little guys... I mean girls... Or do I mean guys?

That's going to be fun, embarrassing them with that when they are older ;)

Your daughter is a manipulator. Reminds me of my little girl, Laurie.

Her daughter is a diabolical genius.

The thing about parenting that's hard is laying down the law! Kids don't like it and parents get stressed easily! Unfortunately, this needs to happen!
Nordrag 26
I guess there's a relation from this to the FML? I just... I don't see it.
lickastick 27
I think 8 here is trying to say the mom needs to intervene and stop the daughter from poisoning the mind of her siblings.

#8, you use a lot of exclamation marks! It's like you're trying to be dramatic! It's like you are trying to give a speech!

It is very disturbing how many people are commenting that there is something "wrong" with OP's daughter. She is only a child trying to play a trick on her younger siblings, who hasnt done that before? This is normal behaviour for children so young and the daughter shouldnt be punished as some are suggesting. If this were to happen in my house id be quick on the camera catching memorable moments to show at my sons 21st where all of these things can be laughed at as they should be. Kids will be kids so let them run free and explore all things, in time theyll learn older siblings are evil and can not be trusted ;P

So let them cross dress. What's the big deal? Clearly, they weren't being forced.
wallandpiece 16
Kids are naturally curious about things like this, especially if they aren't taught these things by parents or teachers. There's nothing wrong with a kid cross dressing. People aren't born with homophobic or prejudiced thoughts, so to a kid I'm sure it wouldn't feel so strange. The idea of being 'manipulated' and having ideas put in their heads is ridiculous. It's important children are aware of issues relating to sexuality so that they aren't pressured into churning out homophobic thoughts and behaviour in later life.
wallandpiece 16
When I say homophobia, I know cross dressing doesn't automatically mean one is homosexual, but the sort of people who criticise cross dressers often do associate it with being gay.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
It says that she got her "older brother" to cross dress. What is his excuse for the manipulation? I'm wondering if little sister just gave him the excuse he was looking for to cover his tracks.
kaybee41906 13
It says "other" brother, not "older." It could be a very young kid.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
It originally said Older brother not other brother. It was altered after posting.
GalaxyShots 21
Okay, now you're just making excuses.
Ms_ValS 27
She wants attention from you and resents her younger siblings. But messing with her brothers' mental and emotional health like that is too much. So slap her first then give her more attention.
puffleprincess 7
#10- I'm one of nine kids. My siblings and I all messed with each other, much like this a d worse. We're now all happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults. No long term scars. But speaking of mental health...hitting your teenage daughter for something as dumb as this? Yeah, that'll probably screw her up.
Poppy8127 15
I have to agree with #10. The girl really does need a spank at least.
Ms_ValS 27
Sometimes you gotta use physical forms of discipline and this is one of them. To make the boys genuinely doubt their own gender is serious, not dumb. It can lead to long-term insecurities.
taranpreet 7
Hitting a teenager does not have the same disciplinary effects as hitting a child. They've already started becoming independent human beings. It'll just make them resent you, or maybe spiral into a horrible puberty.
mandarinnilssn 10
Wtf!? You should NEVER hit your child! And why is this such a big deal? The little one will get over it. And if they cross dress, so what? It's not going to harm them in any way..
_GoodGuy 11
Your daughter should be a salesman. She has the skills of them!
Nyx_fml 23
OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE. Of course you didn't mean "saleswoman". You think OP should convince their daughter that she was actually born a man, to switch genders and then become a salesman. So very smart.

#19, you might be overthinking this.
Nyx_fml 23
That... was... the... Never mind.
