Race against the clock

By huh? - 22/07/2020 20:00

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

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, I found out my 17 year-old cousin is getting married. My hyper religious family swears my concerns are just “masking” my jealousy. Yeah sorry for thinking such a young person, who is still a child, should have her own life before making such a huge decision. FML

Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML

Revelations

Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. 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 daughter and her boyfriend excitedly told me that after months of trying they are finally pregnant and that I'm going to be a grandmother. This would be great news if they weren't 15. FML

Today, I burst into tears when my 35 year-old cousin announced on social media she is going to be a grandma. Her 16 year-old son's girlfriend is pregnant. I am 33, single, and have been romantically invisible to everyone my whole life. I'm gonna die alone. FML

Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML

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

Not the expected outcome

Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML

Ignore it. 20 is still young. I have a feeling that grandma is going to be more of a mother anyways. I don't think your mom wants that.

Doesn't sound like the soon to be grandma was much of a mother either.

So who is the father? No one worried about paedophilia here?

Sounds like your mother is toxic, wait till you're older to have little ones they are alot of work, compromise and effort.

And you blew your chance to be on "Teen Mom" and all the fame and fortune that could bring. If it's any consolation, your slutty cousin shot her wad to be on "16 and Pregnant," because even MTV doesn't want someone having their 4th kid.

Just because she’s having a baby young doesn’t mean she’s ruining her life might be better for her anyway now she will have to grow up and take responsibility a lot of young moms I know had babies and their baby’s saved them one of my friends has stopped drinking completely and is sober from drugs. Sometimes babies help you even if you have them young. This coming from an 18 year old that has a 6 month old.

18 year old versus 13 year old is VERY different. And a child should not be a solution to one’s life problems, because it WILL mess up your child and you will pass on your unresolved issues to your child without much attempt.

Your response was better thought out than mine was. All I kept thinking is that this 18 yr old seems to have a lot of friends with addiction problems, and problems using birth control. Your comment about a baby being the reason someone decides to straighten up was spot on. Well said.

I was 17 when I had my son, I’m 47. I love my kids to death but wish I would of waited, there was so much of my life I missed out on 😭 enjoy your twenties and live your life to the fullest plenty of time to have children when YOU are ready. Also I don’t want to say anything bad about your mom, but what is wrong with her?
