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?

The world cup!Just a tad more important.Ah im only joking but this seems like those made up FMLs as obviously they wouldnt just go "meh".Downvote me if you like but domeone has to say it

nothing is more important than the world cup
JonDG 12
actually, everything is more important than the world cup if its on tv. you can just record it, or pause it.

Not everyone has that luxury

Well overall that does suck...probably wouldn't have told them all at the same time though. Isn't that a bit odd? I mean, even if you know your husband will definitely be happy about it, you still took his opportunity to tell them with you...

agreed. I would find it very odd to tell the father or later than anybody else. I did have a friend tell me she thought she might be before her husband but she wasn't sure.

My boyfriend said he wouldn't want to know unless it was for sure. He said he wouldn't want me to tell him I "might be" pregnant because it would make him worry for no reason if I wasn't. So if I have a feeling something is up then I'd tell a girl friend if I "might be".

73- the FML wasnt a "might be" pregnant, it was full blown got err done

I would unplug the tv no matter how mad they'd get about it. Your pregnancy is more important.

and cause it is more important that gives you the right to be an arsehole about telling everyone. Cause there is no way you could possibly wait at most 45 minutes for half time or the end of the match to tell them?
Earl_KarmasBitch 34
and cause it is more important that means you have the right to be a complete arsehole about telling everyone. I suppose the idea of waiting half an hour or so until they aren't engrossed in something they're enjoying isn't something you would even contemplate doing.

18 although i agree with your moral intentions, acting like that makes you look like a bitch and then no one would wanna give you any attention at all
rocker_chick23 27
That would have been really rude of OP to do. She could have waited for a commercial or the end of the game to tell them.

You think that's disappointing, Portugal got hammered 4-0!!
PenguinBitch 43
They got hammered like OP.

Reminds me of an old carpenter pick up line. "hey baby let's go get hammered, then after, let me nail you all night." *disclaimer* This line is more likely to get you laid out than laid.

Aww, well congrats on the baby OP!

Well congrats on the pregnancy at least. When the baby is born, you should totally ignore your family and pay more attention to the baby. That'll show them.

terrible advice

Either way, congratulations on your pregnancy OP!
