Today, my fiancé won't tell people we're engaged because his mother doesn't approve, and he doesn't want to upset her. FML
Today, I'm 5 months pregnant. My 20-year-old boyfriend still refuses to tell his parents because he thinks he'll get in trouble. He thinks we can get away with "never telling them and just hiding the kid." FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend is still scared of his ex. It's been 8 months and our relationship is still "secret." Why? Because he's scared that she will find out and tell his family about us. FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, my fiance told me he thought it was time that we started to see other people. I'm six months pregnant with his baby. FML
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years. She said no. Why? She's already married. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, my sister, who has been seeing a guy for a year, got engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 5 years and let out some not so subtle hints and he basically refused to propose. This is her second marriage in the time of my relationship. FML
Today, my daughter is engaged to her soon-to-be fifth husband. She's 32 and refuses to believe she's the problem in relationships, and she wants me to pay for this wedding. FML

How can they not know about your daughter?

There's only two explanations, her parents are super religious and strict or they're Scientologists, I'd go with the latter.

Since she has a daughter, they must obviously believe that their grandchild was immaculately conceived. Knowing about you would spoil their vision of their perfect virgin daughter. Either that or your fiancée knows her parents will hate you.

Or perhaps his fiancées is pregnant and the parents don't know yet. The OP might know they're having a daughter because of a sonogram? (:

I didn't think of it like that! Re-read the FML and it states "having a daughter", so he could mean that they do have a daughter or she is pregnant and soon having a daughter. Haha thanks for making me realize that!

I suppose you haven't sent out the invitations yet...?
Lizzy500 16
How did she explain the pregnancy and the kid? Does she ever see her folks at all? Something stinks, and it ain't the kid's diaper.

Nah, that reeks plenty.

I'm pretty sure if she's not mature enough to tell her parents, than she's not mature enough to be getting married.

I don't think maturity is the issue here...who can say what their family dynamic is like. jumping to the maturity card I don't think is warranted given the lack of information. some families communicate while others don't. I honestly don't believe maturity is a factor

Are you sure she wants to get married?
Alycat6363 15
I'd put the marriage on hold until she tells her parents about you and your daughter.

Is it a racial or religion reason? Do they know about the child? I have so many questions!!! You deserve better, op. Take maters into your own hands, go and introduce yourself and be a strong man.

But wear a bullet proof vest when you do.

...and Kevlar and Helmet and the Sheild too... Just in case.

She has your kid. Wouldn't they notice if their daughter was pregnant? I think they knew bub.

Unless they haven't seen her in years due to distance, estrangement, or just plain not doing so.
TPH1979 18
Maybe they're lesbians and OP gave birth to the daughter.
crazytwinsmom 25
Good point. That would explain them not necessarily knowing about the kid.
Fsvb 32
I feel that if that was the situation, it would've been a good idea for the OP to explain that somehow to us, so this all makes a little more sense.

how do you know the parents didn't do something to make the daughter never want to see or speak to them again. every one is all against her . when you don't even know why .
jem970 19
Thats a pretty big leap in logic there 28. Also if it were that big of a deal then he should know about it. They have been together 2 years after all. And if he doesnt? Well they have bugger problems than lack of parental knowledge :-
