Today, my daughter wore my favorite Christmas sweater to an ugly sweater party. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, we had our annual office Christmas party. The theme of the party was "Ugliest Sweater". The winner was a sweater that I have an exact replica of in my closet. It's my favorite 'special occasion', 'family portrait' and 'holiday' sweater. FML
Policy of truth
Today, it was my little girl's birthday and her grandparents came over to celebrate. One of the presents from her grandparents turned out to be a sweater. She then asked, "Mommy, may I please lie?" When I shook my head no, she exclaimed, "I hate this ugly sweater!" FML
Today, my friends and I were going to do an ugly sweater photo shoot. When we met up, one of them was wearing a sweater I gave on her birthday. FML
Today, my wife entered in an ugliest sweater competition at her work. She wore a plain white sweater with a picture of my face printed on it. She came home with first prize. FML
Today, I wore what I thought was a hideous sweater from the thrift store for an ugly sweater contest. I've gotten more compliments on it than anything else I've ever worn. I can't even succeed at failure. FML
Make it stop
Today, I wore my Christmas sweater to work, one with lights sewn into it. Halfway through a meeting, they started flashing uncontrollably and playing tinny carols. I couldn’t turn them off. I had to go shove the whole sweater into a locker in the basement. FML
Today, I took my daughter to see Santa at the mall. When I went to pick her up from Santa's lap, my watch snagged on his beard, pulling it off in front of my daughter and about twenty kids in line. My daughter still isn't speaking to me. FML
That's the spirit
Today, I'd promised my daughter I’d make her costume for School Spirit Day, so I'd stayed up late hot-gluing fabric, only to now notice that I’d attached the sleeves upside down. She wore it anyway because there was no time to fix it, and I spent the day hoping no other parent would ask where I got it. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Fashionista
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML

It could of been like your favourite dress or something..still feel bad for you though.

Based on their name, I'm pretty sure OP is a guy. A sad guy with self esteem issues. I mean, he MIGHT have a favorite dress, but I don't think it's likely.

Well, Im sorry for the mistake, I didn't read the name until you pointed it out, also wasn't sure about the gender, therefore I assumed it was a women.

#1 Read OP's username. :O
OldMemoriesFade 8
Yes, I could of read the username, but I was more focused on the FML itself, don't act like you haven't made the same silly mistake, or one similar.

It's really hard to find a good sweater. Especially Christmas sweaters.

For a man of your size, I'm not suprised.

56, you might want to tread lightly on that topic as I'm sure he's tyre'd of being made fun of. Though in reality, I'm having a wheely good time and this thread is gaining some traction.

Almost all themed sweaters are ugly as sin I see no reason to be offended.

That's when you bleach her favorite clothing
tmmundy 17
Yeah #8, that's showing your child, you don't like my favorite sweater so I'll just bleach your favorite clothing. I hope you don't have children. I feel sorry for them if you do.
ICastillo 25
That's a little overboard, that's when OP just needs to wear her favorite dress to an ugly dress party.( yes I know OP is a guy)
ichliebekekse 11
Actually, it was a joke. Excuse my harsh sense of humor, I would never bleach my own kids clothing, especially not his/her favorite.

Aah, the old issue of sarcasm not being obvious over the internet. Happens to everyone :/

Parents and kids usually have different tastes in clothes. Don't take it personally.
venus89 17
My mum and I are like that. According to her I wear too much black or "hippie" clothes as she puts it. While she loves the seasonal sweaters and bright colours and patterns but also very stylish. OP just has to take her out shopping. My mum did that a few times and got a good feel on what I like and surprises all the time now in good ways.

YDI for having poor choice in clothing
Kog_Hiro 17
How is it OP's poor choice in clothing? What if, and I know it maybe hard to believe, the kid has a bad choice in clothing.

What you find poor, others might find exquisite.
