Today, the guy I live with demanded that I get a job or start paying rent. It'd be perfectly reasonable, if he wasn't my husband, and if I hadn't just given birth to our first child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after presenting my husband with a more than fair request to pay me an hourly wage for being a stay-at-home mom, he laughed his ass off and told me if I want money so badly, I could get a job. He'd rather strangers in daycare raise our babies than pay me what I'm worth. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML
Today, my husband needs the money from my job, but will in no way support me to work. He NEVER cooks, cleans, or picks up after himself. I've got no place to work, except a nook by the bathroom, and I have to manage my toddler, who always poops only when I'm in a meeting, and cries for me. Quitting my job is "out the question." FML
Today, I woke up to my apartment in a state of total disarray. I've been asking my boyfriend to get either get a job, or clean the house. I just had a bunch of dental work taken care of. He doesn't have a job, and doesn't want to find one. I'm tired of trying to raise an already grown man. FML
Today, I finally told my roommate, who doesn't pay rent, to go get a job. He left, came back, and immediately went to my refrigerator to eat. I asked him about his job and what his pay is. Apparently, putting together a bike for a kid is a job. FML
Today, my psycho landlord threatened to take me to court if I don't pay my rent on time this month. I'd totally understand if he weren't my father-in-law, and if the reason I didn't pay on time before was because of hospital fees I'd incurred for an emergency appendectomy. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he has to stop paying half of his baby mama's rent or I would leave. He laughed and said I could leave. FML
Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

I bet he won't be saying that if he went through labor.

Tell him that you have a job. Caring for a newborn. Also let him know that since it's his child he needs to pay back rent for the nine months your baby spent living inside you.

Wow he needs to man up, he has a kid so he better take care if you and the child. You deserve every bit to be treated right

Does he know how expensive daycare can get? You would most likely be working your ass off, missing your baby and his/her first milestones for what? To give your hard earned pay check to the daycare. Not to mention most daycares have age requirements and will send your kid home for 48 hours for things like eye boogies, runny noses due to teething, runny diapers. Pretty much everything, so you still will have to leave work, take time off, and pay for the kids daycare spot whether they are there or not. Speaking from experience.

Sounds like a real winner,.. I have a baby and wife and I work and take care if them both gladly. I work hard and yes we juggle things to make it work, but that's what a real man does.

True that!

That's terrible. Congratulations on the child, though. That'll be a job of it's own!

Tell him, sure you will, if he's willing to stay home all day, feed the kid, change diapers, do laundry, cook, clean, do groceries, scrub toilets, wipe snotty noses, etc. etc. this is work my sister does for a living, and since it isn't her house or kid, she gets paid $30/hour plus time and a half for overtime beyond an 8 hour workday. She makes more than I do in my office clerk job. You could charge him for services rendered and pay him rent out of that if he isn't the traditionally useful type of husband.

maybe its just me but calling him the "guy I am living with" doesnt make this sound like a healthy relationship in the first place, married or not

The wording of the FML is usually the deciding factor in whether or not it's published. It gives it that "humorous" edge, although this FML isn't really all that funny. Just think, if the FML read "Today, my husband demanded I pay rent even though I just gave birth to our first child. FML." it probably never would've gotten published. Spend some time in the moderation section, it can be entertaining.

Tell him to **** off what an asshole

Give him the baby for a day. Tell him he has to feed it, change it's diapers, put it to sleep, etc. Hopefully that'll change his mind.
