Today, at a family dinner, my mom announced that my newborn brother was named after his father. His name is Kevin. My dad's name is Michael. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father-in-law announced the name of his new son, my husband's half-brother. The first name and last name is the same as our son, who I gave birth to 4 months ago. FML
Today, I found out that my 6-year-old son was named after my wife's "Favorite Uncle" because he might also be the father. FML
Today, after I'd ordered a birthday cake with my name written on it, I went to pick it up but the bakery messed up and wrote the name of the person who ordered one right before me. I stood at the party smiling while everyone congratulated “Kevin.” I am not called Kevin. FML
Today, I introduced my first serious boyfriend to my mother over dinner. He is Asian. My mom insisted on calling him "Ching Chong". His name is Kevin. FML
Today, I found out that I'm named after my dad's favourite drink. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad was having an affair on my mom with. FML
Today, I found out that my wife named our son after her ex boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out my wife named our son after her ex-lover. FML
Today, I discovered that my name literally means "burden". This wouldn't be so bad if both my mother and father knew this when they named me. FML
Today, the paternity test came back. It's like I suspected all along; my "son" is actually my half-brother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, props to her for being honest.. But I don't see why she would just drop that bombshell out of nowhere.

now the real question is how did your dad react? Did it happen in some nutty 3-way thing, or are do your parents have an open relationship? I can understand that this would definitely be really hard to take in, but hey, you've got a new brother!

Welcome to the family.

How about this wild and crazy scenario? Years ago, OP's mom married Michael. OP was conceived and born in wedlock. The marriage didn't work out, so OP's mom and Michael divorced. OP's mom moved on, married Kevin, and the baby Kevin was born - conceived and born in wedlock. *mind.blown* lol That would make this fml 100% accurate. That's how my sister and I came in to the world. We have different fathers, but you will never hear either one of us refer to the other as "half-sister."

If OP's mom married Kevin and then had OP's brother than the brother wouldn't be conceived and born in wedlock.

Many couples are open having 3-ways. Hopefully she didn't go about it any other way. Awkward for you, but embrace the cute little guy who's that he's there
