Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother posted a video of me giving birth, on Facebook. FML
Today, my dad finally added me on Facebook, When I looked through his photos, I quickly noticed he'd heavily photoshopped the photos I'm in to make me look prettier. FML
Today, my mom wanted to send me a picture of me at graduation, saying that I looked pretty in it. It was a picture of a different girl; definitely not me. Way to go, mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted to me that the picture of "him as a baby" is really his son. FML
Today, I looked at my father's Facebook for the first time in a month to see a status saying, "Making wedding plans!" Really? When was he planning on telling his own daughter? FML
Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, I left my friend this big Facebook wall comment about how adorable his son is. Just after posting, I read the other peoples' comments and find out that it's his daughter. FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML
Today, my father who left my family over 10 years ago and never contacted us or paid child support, poked me on Facebook. FML
Today, I rummaged around in the attic, looking for old pictures of me and my family, so I could make a surprise collage. Instead, I found my dad's old journals, talking about how desperately he didn't want a kid, and how he wanted to leave my mother more and more every day that passed since I was born. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My parents have done this, they confused a baby picture of my sister with me. She had light blonde hair from birth, I had dark brown hair from birth. Not sure how they mixed them up, even with the correct name written on the back of the photograph.

Maybe you were a "snuggly" baby. He might have done you a favor.

Nobody else will notice - most babies can't be told apart. Just be glad someone is proud enough of you to post about it.

OP, my mother wasn’t able to see any difference between me and my sister's baby picture so she just devided the whole stack into two albums. It never crossed her mind that the black/white pics might be the ones of my 12 years older sis. I don't think it's too bad ;-) Always a fun fact for family reunions (and hey, he IS proud of you!:-))

My young sister and I look very similar in pictures, almost identical. You can only tell because I have blue eyes and she has brown eyes. If we had the small color eyes I can safely assume that there would be pictures no one would be able to tell apart.

The severity of this FML depends upon whether your father mixed up you and another relative, or simply put a stock photo of a random baby.

Don't feel bad, several years back my dad posted a picture of him holding me as a newborn with the caption "me and my little girl back in 19XX". I hadn't been born yet the year that he listed. I guess he had forgotten how old I was, too.

That sucks but let's be honest, all babies seem to bare a strong resemblance to wrinkly prunes so it could be an honest mistake. Don't read too much into it :) But still, who was it? Let's hope it was one of your siblings or else something very scandalous is about to happen.
