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

You did choose to make the announcement during the time they were enjoying the match. That's a little self-centered if you ask me. I'd say you deserve to be blown off. Given the announcement, one would think you'd wait until you had people's attention and not try to force their attention away from what was already going on.

Good Lord, I thought that only here in Brazil the devotion to soccer was so strong... I hate how much soccer and other sports can make people go blind to many really important things in life. Congratulations for you pregnancy OP, I wish all the best to you. And I'm glad Portugal took a huge beating from Germany; maybe your husband will learn something from that

You guys didn't start that well either. Unless that own-goal was intentional.

Well, by the end of the game we won. The point is nobody should let it take over the meaning of real and close human relations... Brasil/Portugal may win, or lose.... so what? Life goes on, and is so much more, means so much more than that..

#64: esclarecendo, eu estava a torcer por Portugal; fiquei "satisfeito" com a derrota somente pela reacção descabida do esposo de OP ao receber a notícia, mesmo em tempos de Copa ;)

What did you expect them to do, carry you on their shoulders?

Parabéns, OP. A reacção pode ter sido só de estarem distraídos com o jogo, tente falar sobre o assunto de novo quando puder; "meh" não é resposta.

Congratz on the pregnancy. But you picked the absolute worst time to try to request attention

Shouldn't have told them during the World Cup. May family would have reacted the same way

Well no shit Sherlock. It says Portugal.

It says Portugal. Unless there is a new state in the US named Portugal, then OP isn't American.
