Today, after trying unsuccessfully for three or so years to have a baby with my wife, my broodiness has gotten so bad that when I saw a couple with their daughter at the bus stop, I briefly had a daydream where I shot them in the head and took their daughter home to raise as my own. FML

OP here. Wow, wasn't expecting so many comments! I feel I should probably clarify a few things here: First of all, I have a very vivid imagination and tend to have involuntary daydreams where various scenarios to a situation play out. This was one such case, and doesn't mean I'm violent or am actually contemplating shooting people or anything like that, my mind just rollercoasters through various things happening and I'm just sort of along for the ride. I found this one amusing enough to post on FML. My wife and I are currently looking into fertility tests to find out exactly what the problem is, and will of course consider adoption/fostering if it turns out that natural conception isn't on the cards. Don't worry, I'm not going to abduct anyone's kids or go on a murder spree. :P

Maybe see a therapist op? Also, there's fertility clinics and treatments you can get to enhance your chances of having a kid. Best of luck!

Maybe think about trying adoption if at all possible. I wish you the best of luck OP with whatever you choose to do.

Hmm. Well I can't say I find that in any sense normal but I hope it doesn't come to that. Worse comes to worst you could adopt.

Adoption isn't THAT difficult unless you're an unfit parent, insane or a convicted criminal. Crossing county/state lines will get you around issues in any particular jurisdiction.

My dad and mom tried for 5 years to have me, they tried all kinds of fertility treatment and none of it worked. One day they said "Screw it", stopped trying and had me. So maybe not care as much, emotions can affect your likeness of getting pregnant; too much stress lessens your chances.

You need to seek medical help before you seriously do something that stupid.

He had a fleeting daydream - I think we've all had strange or disturbing thoughts pop into our heads at one point or another. It doesn't mean that he is unstable or planning on carrying through his daydream. so I don't think it's fair to suggest there's something wrong with him. If he'd repeatedly been having these thoughts I would agree with you but it's clearly a one off and op himself said that the fact he had the daydream is an fml so it sounds like he is not a threat to anyone.

Pretty sure thoughts like that doesn't make him sound like a safe parent..he does need help.

He had a daydream it wasn't to be taken seriously. What he is saying is 3 years of trying is taking its toll. It doesn't make him bad, he just wants to be a Dad so bad it hurts

My hubby and I tried for 7 years before I got pregnant. I know the struggle. Just keep your hopes up and keep trying!

This is one of the saddest things I've read in a long while :'( Like others have said, if you have tried others options there's always adoption. I would like to adopt even after I've had my own.

Don't worry, it took 8 years of trying for my parents to have the sex for me
