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!

Low, low blow! I find myself hating your mother. To whip out such a spiteful insult in any situation, much less such a petty one, is just vicious. I don't know much about PCOS, but from the previous comments on this FML, you may still have a chance at getting pregnant. And if not, adoption is a lovely thing. :] Being a great, understanding mother would totally stick it to your mother in a positive way.

Just so you know, PCOS often causes infertility if it's not treated. But when PCOS is treated properly, many women with the condition have perfectly healthy babies. It's up to you to decide whether to mope about it or just man up and realize you can't expect people to treat you like you're on your death bed if you aren't even dying.

Having a little empathy does not mean treating her on like shes on her death bed.. She didnt act like she was dying, but to hear such a low, caustic blow from your own mother... damn. If you wanted to teach your child not to correct you in front of other people, there are other ways to do it, privately, and with a little bit of compassion. There was NO need to use the OP's condition to belittle her. This "mother" is just a cold hearted disgusting ******* little ****. I have PCOS, and if my mother ever took a low blow and used my condition to hurt me, i would disown myself.

showing sympathy, not empathy. If the mom showed empathy that would means she couldn't have kids or had a hard time trying. She needs to show sympathy because she doesn't know what OP could be feeling.

It wasn't the mother's place to say anything about the piercings. It wasn't a sibling that she was saying it to, it was the OP's COUSIN. If anyone had the right to rag on the kid it was his/her parents. OP: I'm so sorry that your mother said that.

My doctor thought I had PCOS too, and you can have children. It might not be instantly, but you can. It could be from different health problems, so if you take care of the health problems that can make PCOS worse, it should get a lot better. Youre mom is a bitch, I am sorry. My boyfriend didnt care much either.

It's sad that you're mom said that. But there's always adoption! It kind of makes me a little angry/sad when people say "I will never have kids" for whatever medical reason. Yeah, you can't physically have one yourself, but you can adopt a child and love him/her just as much.
