Today, I was happily playing with my young niece and nephew. Their grandmother was watching and said, "You are so good with children! Why don't you have any?" My husband died 3 months ago. FML
Collection
College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my 4 year old niece asked me why I didn't have a job or wife. FML
Today, I was playing and laughing with my new baby boy. He was giggling, and it was adorable. Out of nowhere, I said, "You're my favorite!" Now I'm sitting here, talking to my two other children about how what I said earlier I didn't mean personally. They never want to talk to me again. FML
Today, my sister asked me how my boyfriend was doing. He died two years ago. She was the first person I told. FML
Today, I got a job babysitting two really sweet kids. When their parents left, they told me that their cat had died. I told them how sorry I was, to which one of them replied, "That's okay. We still have him in a box. Wanna see?" FML
Today, I was working as a nurse, and an elderly man had just passed away. As the patient's wife was leaving she said, "Thank you for taking such good care of my husband." Then I, intending to say "Sorry for your loss," said "Thank you for your loss." FML
Today, a man I once worked with passed away. He was a lovely, caring, and inspirational person whom I looked up to. My husband's form of consolation? "Old people die. Get over it." FML
Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML
Today, I took my parents up on their invitation to spend Thanksgiving with them. My 3 year-old daughter refused to get out of the car and insisted on waiting there. When asked why, she said, "I don't like Grandma because she's mean to Daddy!" Not only did my parents hear, we haven't told her he, my husband, passed away 4 months ago. FML
Today, at my mother's funeral, as everyone was around her casket for the viewing, my 5-year-old son in cluelessness of what was going on shouted, "Grandma is more fun when she isn't sleeping." Everyone cried. FML
Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Omg who voted as YDI, these people are total idiots im sorry for your loss op
bubble25_fml 5
To defend all the ydi voters, this is a comedy site. Not a self-pity site.
RedPillSucks 33
ok, so how is voting YDI funny?
punkin_26 16
The YDI's are Badge hunting assholes.-Sorry for your loss OP.

Enonymous, that comment was very funny and well said, but the situation that you used it in is very disrespectful. This FML is one of the few "serious" ones. Sorry for the loss, OP. Good luck in your future.

200 people think she deserved it? Wow. Inconsiderate assholes.
blackheart24 10
Bummer OP. Nah that seriously sucks. All people who voted ydi are effing assholes.

Maybe you will learn to love again someday and get the opportunity to become a mother OP
AvengedSevenfold_fml_fml 12
This is a rare FML that is actually worthy of being called an FML. Not someone who accidentally farted in public or some stupid thing. I'm sorry to hear about your lose OP

I'm so sorry :(
memily63 12
A lot of times, people don't realize what they say before it comes out of their mouth. Especially if it was recent, it might have escaped her mind at that time. I am so sorry though, OP. I know regardless it doesn't make it any easier

She may not have known? If it is her niece and nephews grandmother why would she have to know?
Ins0mau 20
70, because that would make her O.P's mother?
0opsie 6
#75, Not really. She can be the kids' grandmother without any close relation to the OP. She could be OP's sibling-in-law's mother. Or even their step-parent's mother.
0opsie 6
*Or maybe her niece and nephew's parent is OP's half-sibling with the same father and this grandmother is her sibling's mom, not hers. The first thing I mentioned is probably it, though.
Angelastic_fml 18
But if she's a sibling-in-law's mother, wouldn't that also make her the mother of the dead husband, unless they were only half-siblings? Sure, there are ways she could have been not in the OP's or her husband's immediate family, but it would have been nice to have this clarified in the FML.

119 - One of the parents of the children is not related to the OP or her husband. And it would be really gross if her brother or sisters mom is also her husbands (how you came up with that as a given I cannot determine)... Since the OP is not a mother (hence the comment) and she said the children's grandmother rather than her mother or mother-in-law the grandmother is most likely related to the OP's brother's or sister's SPOUSE (that's also what a sibling-in-law is, it's not just a one way street -.-). Since their grandma probably doesn't interact very often with the OP it isn't too surprising that she would say something like that without knowing how it would hurt the OP.

How could anyone vote ydi?

Trolls come to mind as possible culprits, or people with bad aim while clicking.

Because they thought she deserved it duh!
theTrollGuy 7
And if she did know. Op you could've said my husband is too busy buying your ticket to the other side.. granny. U mad?
Squeaky_Tomato 14
@118 Or the grandmother could be on the other side of the family. Op's mom would be their grandma ... But I could have sworn everyone has 2 (biological) grandmas.

135 - Um, wouldn't that make OPs husband her OWN son?

No, it would make OP's brother-in-law her son.

She just may have it
ohmandapants 17
50- not being a ********. She might have it. And even if she didn't, older people have terrible memory, it's a fact that it deteriorates over time anyway.
Fruit_Dealer 9
Just to clear up things, I believe 5's comment was referring to the grandma, not OP. I assume most people understood, but yeah.. Just in case.
WeAreAHurricane 14
Just....go back to fruit dealing... Sorry for your loss OP :(

My heart goes out to you. Read some Nicholas Sparks books he always has good stories on being able to move on and fall in love again
schaflava 0
Or you could read some David Sedaris and eckhart tolle and elevate yourself
Andr913 13
10-No! Read something good instead.
CryMoreFMLs 15
Not Twilight! That is NOT a good book.* * Thought I would clarify the boundaries.
MURPHYCHACHO 5
(facepalm) Or she could read something good instead. Nicholas Sparks is NOT good at writing realistic or healthy romantic relationships. (Fun fact: hanging off a Ferris wheel and threatening to kill yourself if a girl won't go on a date with you isn't cute, it's emotional abuse.) Oh, it's only been three months since her husband died. WAY too soon to even consider finding new love. You strike me as incredibly naive.
