Today, I went to pick up my daughter from my dad's house. He'd shaved her head bald. "For a laugh." FML

Today, my dad came up behind me with a pair of scissors, and pretended to snip away at my hair. I was sure he was joking, so I just sat there and didn't react. Later, I felt the back of my head and looked at my hand. Suffice it to say, I now have a large bald patch on the back of my head. FML

Today, I asked my dad to give me a haircut. After 20 minutes of "fuck"s and "shit"s, he gave up and just shaved my head bald. I pull off the look so badly that two people I don't even know have already told me I look like a psychopath. FML

Today, while my mother-in-law visited, I asked if she wouldn't mind watching my son for 10 minutes as I had run out of baby shampoo. I came back home to see she had shaved his head completely bald. That was his very first haircut. FML

Today, I got my long hair cut in a short pixie cut. When my five year old daughter saw me she laughed and proclaimed 'You look just like a man!'. That afternoon I got a concerned call from the school. My daughter has told everyone 'mummy has gone away, I now have two daddies!' FML

Today, after discussing having our son's hair styled nicely for school, my ex returned him with his head shaved. I didn't realise bald was in style for 4-year-olds. FML

Today, my dad decided to shave his beard. I told him I wanted him to keep it, so he took the shavings, put them in a jar, and left it in my room. FML

Today, I arrived home, having just had my long hair cut and my beard shaved. My idiot daughter’s reaction when she saw me? “Who are you and how did you get in the house?” FML

Today, I took my daughter to get the expensive pixie cut she’s been "dying" for. As soon as we got home, my husband burst into hysterical laughter and pointed out that she looks exactly like he did in high school. Now she’s sobbing and begging for either a wig or even more expensive extensions. FML

Kick him in the nuts "for a laugh".

While he shouldn't have done that without your consent/her consent (depending on her age), it's not like this is the end of the world. Make sure she knows she's still beautiful no matter what. (Which I'm sure you do anyway)

Look on the bright side, I've heard that supposedly shaving a child's hair makes it come in thicker!

That's just a myth Shaving does not make any hair grow back thicker

When I was a child my aunt cut my beautiful long, thick hair to shoulder height. It's been baby fine ever since.

Well, there goes trust right out the window. It's not funny to do something to a kid that doesn't understand whats going on, especially without a parents consent. I'm sorry for her and you. :(

Tell him "for a laugh" that he isn't allowed to see her and more

It would be a very long time before grandpa got any privileges again, if that were my kid. I know a couple of grandparents that took their grandchildren for first haircuts, without the parents permission. That would piss me off to no end. Doing something this drastic though, he'd be down to supervised visits.

It's just hair, it will grow back. on the bright side, she can pick out some cool wigs or hats if she hates it.

Is she a baby?!?! I almost hope so or else it will take awhile for her hair to grow back. Poor baby...

Well that's a creative way to make sure you'll never be asked to babysit your grandkids again.

Today, I was at a wedding reception with loud music. A guy told me that his sister couldn't be there because she "went home to be with her boy." I said, "That's too bad, she's missing a great party." He paused and repeated, "She went home to be with her LORD." FML

Today, while working as a cashier, I was flirting with this cute girl. When I asked her if she had her store card she said, "No", paused, then said "Can I give you my number?"
