Today, my daughter asked me to get her razors. When my 19-year-old son saw them he asked what they were for, to which my daughter replied, "For my armpits." My son then said, "Girls don't grow armpit hair." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend asked me why girls don't have armpit hair. FML
Today, I explained to my teenage daughter that enough was enough and she needed to start shaving her armpits again, stating it was unladylike and unsanitary. Her only response was, "If it's so unsanitary, why don't you make my brother do it?" I give up. FML
Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that yes, girls do get armpit hair, we just have to shave it. FML
Today, I came across one of the pitfalls of having open discussions with my 15-year-old son when he asked me how to shave his pubes. FML
Today, I overheard my mom telling my younger sister not to use my razors because she "doesn't know what I may have." FML
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
Today, whilst taking a shower, I noticed my razor wasn't in its usual spot. Upon inspecting it closer, I noticed that there were tiny white hairs in it. When confronting my father about it, he claimed the "pink razors" are his. We've been sharing the same razor this entire time. FML
Today, my 19-year-old daughter got a haircut. When I asked her if she tipped the hairdresser, she looked at me in horror and asked, "You’re supposed to tip hairdressers?" FML
Today, I bought an expensive razor that's supposed to be great. My roommate asked if she could borrow it, and as her legs just looked like they needed touching up, I said sure. After a strangely long amount of time, she came back, thanked me and left. Her legs were still hairy. FML
Today, in front of my friends, my mom came after me with a pair of tweezers exclaiming, "There's just a couple of hairs on your chin that need to be plucked." I'm a 14 year-old girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe if girls didn't start shaving and wearing makeup at such an early age he would know better! Why girls in middle school need to shave is beyond me!
Mossears133 15
Because that's when they start growing hair and when their mommies start teaching them to shave. -.-

Although I agree with makeup, girls go through puberty earlier than boys, and thus will start growing hair in places like their armpits earlier. Also, we don't know how old the daughter is in this.

Society makes girls want to wear makeup/shave early on.

I got made fun of in grade 6 for wearing a "real" bra (I had a full A cup at age 11) which is hilarious now because it had the least amount of padding. But I digress girls in middle school will get teased for EVERYTHING most of the time they just want to fit in and I don't think shaving or wearing deodorant (which my dad thought I was too young for at 13) is wrong. I'm sorry if the girls don't tease you about your hairy pits those immature dumb boys will. The 19 year old maybe is dating someone like me that doesn't have much body hair so maybe he just thought all women were like that. (I never shave my legs cause theres really nothing to shave, don't need to wax my face ever, I have hardly any brows, and all I have to do is wax or shave my under arms once a month)

You're ignorant. Everyone enters puberty at different ages. Girls have been known to start puberty earlier than boys. I had the whole works by the time I was in junior high compared to some of my peers that were still not entering puberty while other peers had started puberty before me and went into junior high with everything already set in stone.

Not really the point I was making but okay......

Also if your like me when I was in middle school I had sisters in high school. I mostly started shaving because I wanted to be like them. It's not society teaching girls these things, it's just girls trying to feel grown up.

#93 - Sorry, I was responding to #16. I didn't see your comment that said similar things until now. :)

What? Girls aren't naturally hairless?

I wonder what'll happen when he comes across a ******.

Sure they do, but they're innies instead of outies.
KiddNYC1O 22
I hear some guys have innies. :O
brittyboo123 35
I've herd that some guys don't even think girls grow hair other than on their heads.

There are some guys who think girls don't poop or fart.
perdix 31
They don't grow nipple hair, either. Except when they do ;(

ew. that is all.

Now that he knows pornstars shave, perhaps it's a good time to explain to him about implants.

Oh, well that's a nice discovery that he's made, guess I'll stop shaving now.

Yet another moron... Sigh :/ common sense isn't so common anymore.

ARRRGGGHHHH, this sort of shit really pisses me off. If girls want to shave, fine, but I'm sick of people thinking it's abnormal or disgusting for a woman to be all natural. It simply makes no sense to me, it's a personal choice, it's not unhygienic so why lambast the poor girls? This sort of ignorant disbelief that female hair even exists to begin with just makes me want to bash my head against a wall.
Sheh_fml 25
Same here. No wonder why so many girls/women are insecure when we are portrayed to be freaks of nature if we actually looks like nature intended.
stupid_username 12
While I agree with your point I have to disagree with your argument. It IS in fact unhygienic having hair in your armpits. This hairs main reason is to keep the body odor strong. It's a remnant from the time before perfumes and soupes when we were actually attracted to strong body odors. This, of course, goes for both boys and girl but you do actually smell more(/worse) if you don't shave.
utohspaghettios 10
body odor was a defense mechanism for early human so you are very wrong

My girlfriend doesn't shave at all. At first I was a little surprised to see a girl with all natural armpit hair but that was before I moved to Columbus where there's about 40% gay population. It's no big deal to me now.

42-I'm sorry, what? That's probably the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard in my life. With that logic it's unhygenic to have hair on your head aswell--**** the fact that having a shower takes care of dirt and odor, not to mention deoderant--and we should all just walk around looking like Rufus the naked mole-rat, only hoping to attract one another based on who is wearing Chanel No. 5. Maybe it's not just your username that is stupid.

48 & 46 do the words pheromones mean anything to you? there are certain chemicals present in body odor when a woman is ovulating and fertile that let men know that she's capable of getting pregnant at that time and there's also chemicals present in a mans body odor that make women attracted to them so yes body odor is not just a defense mechanism it's also a tool for procreation :p (sources: being an insufferable know it all)
