Today, I corrected my mom in front of our family while she was ragging on my 12 year old cousin who got a piercing. She said, "You don't understand you don't have kids, but on the other hand you probably never will!" I have Polycystic ovary syndrome, she is right, I probably never will. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and confided in my mom, after being told I would have trouble having kids. Five minutes later, I hear the whole family laughing about it downstairs. FML
Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Today, my mother accused me of getting another lip piercing done on the sly to spite her. She finally realised I have more than one and won't believe I've always had two. Thanks for noticing, mom. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said: "People who don't have kids are children of the devil." I'm infertile, she knows this. FML
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, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. 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, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A lot of PCOS folks have children.

I also have PCOS and I had a friend tell me that I should just "hack out" my ovaries cos they were no good. Don't stress. If you have been diagnosed, you'll be treated. Tons of people never even know they have it - that's when it's a problem.

I have PCOS too, I've been medicated since I was 15. Don't worry, with weight loss and a regular doctor visits I've been told that PCOS is not going to affection with reproduction. It was a big concern for me too.

tykoala: I have PCOS too (a LOT of people here seem to...) and before I started medication, I actually WANTED to hack out my ovaries. and not just for three days out of the month; I'd get killer cramps any time of the month. it was insane. edit: dang, FMyLife totally put this in the wrong place.

It's easy to suggest adoption when you don't actually understand.

My mother was told she probably couldn't have children. Now she has two. =P Don't worry so much about "probably". And there's a good chance that if your own mother said that to you, you'd be a better mother than her whether they're your biological children or not.

Explain, please. Don't just make that kind of vague comment that we can't argue about.

There should be a comma after 'You don't understand' and after 'But on the other hand'

Sucks. I have it too. Ask about hormone pills and fertility treatments. It's a good plan kid.

The things that mothers have said is simply horrific. That isn't anything you should be joking about, regardless of what happens.

Omg, I have this too. Don't say that you'll never have kids - just take care of yourself and keep it under control!
