Today, I learned that my son’s godmother forgot about the baptism date and booked a family holiday to Italy. Her mother is also on the trip and she is the officiant. I gave them both the date over 6 months ago. Everything is already booked on our side for that date. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finished booking the non-refundable cruise for my wife and I to the Bahamas. I did this after confirming once again that my mother could take care of our son while we're away. An hour after I paid, she called back saying she mistook the dates and can't do it anymore. FML
Today, my son and his girlfriend cancelled their wedding and eloped because they were sick of my ex-wife being a Monster-in-law. The last straw was when she called the dress shop and tried to cancel the wedding dress because it “made her look like a slut.” Now I missed seeing my son get married. FML
Today, my son is a real ass. My mother died and he literally only booked off half a day to attend his own grandmother's funeral, doesn’t plan to spend time with me after the burial, and since he booked it, all he has done is complain about the three meetings he’s going to miss that morning. FML
Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML
Today, I found out my daughter was planning a wedding and invited everyone but me. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, I found out my ex friend is having her wedding at the same resort and same venue as me, and I had it secured 9 months before her. Now she’s trying to also use my priest. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad called to say she wasn't allowed to come with me on a three-day trip on New Year's. He waited until Christmas to say it, even though we booked and paid for the trip nearly a month ago. Now he ruined both holidays. FML
Today, marks the sixth day in a row that my mum has called me to discuss my upcoming wedding. She's obsessed and has intimidated the actual planner I hired into going along with her plans. She's slipped up twice already and accidentally referred to it as her own wedding. Just great. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML

Find a new godmother and a new officiant. They don't deserve to be part of your child's special day.

Everything is already booked? How elaborate are baptisms these days where it involves more than one location — a church — to “book?”

This is my FML ! Can't believe this got published ! A bit more info : It is a civilian baptism ( you can do this in France, where I live) and the godmother in question is quite forgetful. She is one of my best friends held my hand as I was going through IVF and there is no way I'm changing godmothers. Her mum is elected at the mayor office and we get along politically ( trying to find another officiant would be a nightmare). On top of this, they both are like family. Everything was booked on our side because we have friends and Familly coming from all around Europe ( including the godmother in question coming from Switzerland and the father who lives in Germany) ) and a we had booked an hotel to host them ( those who don't have family nearby) and the restaurant ( thankfully we were able to change the date and no one had booked their flights yet) We are quite an international group and I was planning on making the celebration exactly a year after the IVF procedure. I'll have to pick another date, but not easy to find one that fit everyone since everyone keeps on travelling in my group of friends and family, or work related issues. I will probably laugh about this later but I was quite upset when I learned about it ( plus I was overdue at the time, stressed that my partner would not be here for the birth).
