Today, I finally figured out why my 5 year-old daughter washes her hair every day. It's because she doesn't want to have "yucky greasy hair like her mommy." FML

Today, I walked in on my daughter trying to blow-dry the sweat off her armpits instead of showering. FML

Today, my daughter continues to have acne breakouts. She’s no longer a teenager, which means she isn’t washing her face. I can’t believe I raised someone who ignores her hygiene to this point. FML

Today, I found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML

One simple trick

Today, I realized I've been using conditioner instead of shampoo for the last month. I was wondering why my hair never felt clean but always smelled great. Now I have to explain to my friends that my new "shampoo routine" was actually just expensive conditioner and ignorance. FML

Today, my mom was proud for making a positive change in her life. The change in question? She now throws away the smelly hair she combs out of the dog, instead of keeping it for unspecified later use. FML

Today, for the first time ever, I was able to have a good hair day without blow drying it or using product. Or so I thought. The first words my mom spoke to me when I came downstairs were “Go fix your hair.” FML

Today, I got up extra early to curl my hair because I wanted to look nice at school for a change. After coming downstairs my mom yells at me and says, "See, when you don't wake up on time your hair looks like that. You could have at least combed it!" FML

Today, my step-dad explained to me why he doesn't need to wash his body. He condescendingly said, "Well when you shampoo your hair, the soap runs down your body and cleans everything." He's 37 years-old. FML

Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML

I thought washing your hair every day was a normal thing.

she's too young to realize... mommy doesn't always have the time to be a prima donna. mommy has to take care of the 5 year old (and the rest of the family) and that eats up a lot of "princess" time. so giving you an FML hopefully when she has her own kids she understands how little time parents get to spend on themselves

mommy doesn't have the time to wash her hair for 2 minutes once a day? If doing that is your definition of "prima donna" as you imply it is, you have appallingly low beauty standards. As a guy I certainly don't have "princess time" but I manage to wash my hair once a day. Go take a shower, you must look like hell.

You haven't figured out how to wash your hair frequently enough to keep it from getting greasy? YDI. Learn personal hygiene.

To everyone who's saying that you have to wash your hair everyday: it is true only for people who've gone through puberty! Five year olds don't produce excess sebum so they don't really need to wash their hair. I've never seen my 5yo sister's hair gets greasy. My mom washes it twice a week for her unless she's been at the pool or running around or something.

Washing your hair isn't spending time on yourself. It does not take an hour. It can take less than a minute if you cut your hair short........just modern short not "mom-look short" -yuck
