Today, I met my father-in-law for the first time. He went on a big rant how men are superior intellects and women contribute nothing to society. Ironic, as it took me, a woman, 30 seconds to notice it's biologically impossible for him to be my husband's father. After 33 years, both he and my husband haven't figured it out. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite 18 years of marriage and two kids together, my father-in-law still insists my wife will one day grow up, realise I was the result of some rebellious phase she’s going through, divorce me and marry a decent boy from her hometown. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML
Today, I’m considering a divorce. My father-in-law has never liked me and is very vocal about that, names like "bastard" and "prick" are common. My wife is normally very headstrong and takes no nonsense, but she lets him treat me this way so she must agree with him. The wedding was only a year ago. FML
Today, I opened my heart to my father-in-law, telling him how he was a very good example for us and how his name would be great for our first born son, he interrupted, saying, "Cut the cheesy crap, now." FML
Today, my father-in-law is still introducing me to family friends as his son's girlfriend. I have been married to his son for 5 years, we have a child together and another on the way. FML
Today, at our wedding reception my new father-in-law gave his speech, saying his little girl was too good for me. Everyone, including my parents, agreed. FML
Today, I mustered up the courage to visit my estranged mega fundamentalist father to hopefully mend our relationship. The first thing he did was insult me for not having a beard, and call my wife and daughters whores because they weren't wearing long skirts or dresses. FML
Today, my dad told me he liked men. While he was making a drunken speech. At my wedding. FML
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Genetics can be very complicated. "Although it is uncommon, parents with blue eyes can have children with brown eyes. The inheritance of eye color is more complex than originally suspected because multiple genes are involved." Still it's worth wondering.

it is nearly impossible for blue eyed people to create a brown eyed child there has to be a break in the gene of each parent it’s a one in a million. unless one parent has brown eyes with a blue hue. in which case they have can have a brown eyed child.

In other words it IS possible to happen.

Did I miss the part about eye color? Where did it say HOW she figured it out? Just curious...

Could have been cleft chin. Rare to have both parents not have it with child having it (since it's a dominant trait).

Trying to figure that out too

Don't reproduce with that one. He's a moron and his step dad is one. You don't want your kid to be genetically handicapped and have an idiot grandpa.

It’s possible, if they’re not close. I’ve never met my husband’s biological father, and we’ve been together for 12.5 years. (Though I don’t think I ever will, and I’m glad about that.)

I was wondering the same thing

It's possible they aren't married yet, I called my wife's parents my in-laws even before we were married

Never met my father in law and my husband and I have known each other since 2003. He's out of state and not on good terms with my husband. Who knows why they didn't meet before they got married or at the wedding.

Yeah, women contribute nothing to society except to society itself via the contribution of offspring from which your FIL would otherwise not exist....

I'm curious as to how you came to that conclusion.

hahaha good one

Ok—so maybe some info is missing. Like about his mother. If you know the appearance of your husband’s mother, then you could make assumptions. For example if both were blond and your husband has brown hair—that would be a problem.

You either have a degree in genetics, and performed a genetic test, or you are wrong.

Family ties can be complicated. I was with my ex for nine years. Six years after the breakup, were still friends. He'd been estranged from his sister during our entire relationship. I did not meet her until their mother's passing, which was two years ago. It is totally possible that OP's husband and his father were similarly estranged.
