Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML

Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML
Today, my mother once again called me to remind me what a disappointment I am despite having two degrees, a house, a professional job and having never been unemployed at 25. FML
Today, I realised that I wasted my teenage life just to be a parent pleaser. I'm in the final months of high school and while everyone is enjoying the last days, I'm sat here being a "good" son, listening to my parents argue, maybe divorcing. I'm in tears and can't go out as I'm not invited to anything anymore. FML
Today, my mother told me I should think about quitting school. She explained that the reason was because she didn't want me to be more successful than my older sisters. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML

Well said. You work hard and be proud of yourself OP. The people that are worth having in your life are those that appreciate you and encourage you, not tear you down.

you should star in a reality show: Educated and Pregnant.

But could they find enough cast got a second season? Somehow educated and realty TV don't seem to hang out much.

*for *reality. Proofread fail at my end.

Uh, excuse me, but I personally enjoy realty TV. I learn all sorts of useless facts about investing in properties and housing.

18 It does if you watch shows like "'Til debt do us part" or "Love it or list it".

"Love It or List It" is literally the most addictive show. And neither Hillary nor David are brain dead or trashy!

It seems my typo has led me to a new genre of TV. Renovation shows could either give me great ideas, or get me in large amounts of trouble for dismantling rooms to implement them, maybe both.

Ignore her, hopefully in the long run she'll see how great of a child you were.

You've got your head screwed on right, and your mom just has messed up expectations. Good job, OP. I hope you get where you're trying to go.
