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

Your husband will reply to your news after the World Cup is over xD

I know your pain. Right before the last Super Bowl, I fell and twisted my knee. My dad didn't take me to he hospital until after the game. It turned out that I had torn ligaments and some bone fragments were floating around in my knee.

Sports fans can be a bit nuts. I'm a hockey fan instead of a footie fan, but I would want someone to wait for the commercial (or better yet, intermission) to give me momentous news, especially during the Stanley Cup playoffs. On a brighter note, at least you found out you were pregnant during the World Cup rather than were due to give birth. I'm waiting for the FMLs to come out from women whose families were too busy watching the game to get their relative to the hospital.

Not to be judgemental, but to me it seems like you should have told your husband before everyone else in your family. Congrats on the pregnancy though.

So wait you decided that instead of at a family meal, while you were sitting and chatting, alone with your husband, out running errands/in the car with your husband, on the phone with a family member, or inviting everyone over specifically for this purpose, you decided to tell everyone while they were busy watching a program they were probably planning (at least a few days in advance, maybe even weeks) to watch?

I feel so sorry for you! Especially from your husband, that's just rude! Bringing a new life into this world is soo much more important that a game. What if your baby is the reason that they win 20 years in the future???
