The Patriarch

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States - Mentor

Today, my daughter got her first period. Nobody was home but my husband. He didn't know what to do, except give her a sponge to put in her underwear. FML

How nice of people to assume all men know (or should know) everything about women. Just as I'm sure all women know everything about men...

how does this equal a fml for your life? I'm sure it was far more of a fml for your husband and daughter. at least your husband tried ?
