Today, I decided to tell my family, including my husband, that I'm pregnant. Their reaction was basically a "meh" before returning to watching the World Cup. FML

Today, I announced my pregnancy to my boss. I was expecting all sorts of reactions, except, "But... Erm... How did that happen?" FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, I told my husband I was pregnant, then he fainted. FML
Today, my wife and I convened our families for a joint dinner, followed by me breaking the news that my wife is pregnant. My father visibly scoffed, and my grandfather spent the rest of the evening muttering to him about how "breeders should be shot". Wonderful. FML
Today, I turned down my boyfriend's proposal because I'm pregnant and I told him I didn't want people thinking that's why we were getting married. He… did not react well. Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML
Today, I told my students that I would be absent tomorrow because my wife was giving birth. They burst into applause... not to congratulate me on the new baby. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I excitedly told my best friends I was pregnant. Their responses were, "Ewww, I hate babies", "So we're not getting brunch anymore? That sucks" and "Do you need an abortion? I know a great clinic." Not one of them congratulated me. FML
Today, my husband and I announced at a family get-together that I'm pregnant with our fourth child. My dad sighed, and spent the rest of the evening acting moody, and eventually muttering about how he'd raised a "damned broodmare." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, I agree, the next mention of the baby will probably go like "So Mom, what should I name the baby? "What the hell?! What baby?"

Considering how big this soccer thing is, waiting till after would have def been better.. Especially if their team lost.. Would have majorly cheered them up!

#25 depending on what happens this world cup, the baby is probably going to get a footballer's name. Even if its a girl; they'll just put the feminine form.

Seriously #1? Knowing that you’re going to be a father, a grand-parent, uncle etc is not as exciting as watching soccer?

Definitely not the best timing since he was probably pissed off that Portugal was losing 4-0

It does only come once every 4 years...but that sucks. I'm sure they'll come around in the next...month.

At first I thought you meant babies only come around every four years, and I was thoroughly confused.

Your family has their priorities right

how this got upvoted is beyond me. Football is not more important than the news of someone being pregnant, especially if they are a family member.

Well I mean she did have the opportunity to pick when she told them. In the middle of a game probably wasn't the greatest idea. I don't bother any sports fan or any fan of anything if they're watching whatever it is that they're interested in.

You'd think your husband would be more excited about scoring a goal.

You'd think he'd celebrate, shouting "He shoots! He scores!"
HanBroman 20
I highly doubt either of these things happened considering portugal lost 4-0

WHOOSH! The sound of #8's meaning going right over the head of #92

How'd you get that out of the FML? They were too preoccupied with the game. It doesn't say anything about her being ugly.

Who wants to bet when you tell them again in a couple days they'll be like.... OH MY GOD?!?!!?? WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US SOONER!?!?!?
rocker_chick23 27
I can see that happening.

I'll bet a potato chip. See picture for details.

I think it'll be one month later.... After the world cup ends...

Better reaction than some.
