Today, I had a serious conversation with my dad about my brother and me. It started with, "I love you", and ended with,"You and your brother were mistakes." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML
Today, I was talking to my dad about how I don’t think I love my fiancé anymore. He sat me down and gave me a severe talking to that amounted to, “We’re a respectable religious family, he’ll be a good husband, you’ll make babies and grow old together. You don’t need to love him to do that.“ FML
Today, I got a text from my mom that said, "Your dad and I are so proud of you." Sweet, right? It was meant for my brother. FML
Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I texted my brother saying, "Always remember I love you! Never forget it!" to which he replied, "You better not be doing drugs." FML
Today, I heard from my dad for the first time in over six months. It was through Facebook, in a message blaming my brothers and me for his horrible life, and in which he spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, my sister teased me about being a mistake baby. When I told my mom what my sister said, her response was "I still love you anyway". FML
Today, I was in the car with my mom. We were discussing my brother, how he's been screwing up majorly lately and she blamed it on his friends. Then she turned to me and said, "It's a good thing you've never had any friends." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It could be worse. Credit your dad for taking ownership of his "mistakes" and being present in your lives.

Yeah, it was an accident... he didn't mean to have sex... he accidentally fell onto your mom and babies happened. Who knew that sex could possibly EVER lead to children. if he was having sex... he knew what he was doing... accident just means that his dumb ass failed to acknowledge the outcome of his actions. By "mistake" he means "I was negligent". So, FHL for being a stupid shit who fails to see the far-reaching implications of the things that he does... and now... to fail to see the far-reaching implications of his words... like having two kids who resent you!

How do you know all this? You're just assuming. For all you know they could have been using birth control and it failed... there could have been a hole in the condom, she could have been using birth control pills and forgot to take them for a few days... There are a million little details that were unspoken but you just went ahead and judged anyway. :-/

My mom says me & my sisters were "pleasant surprises" ...after her birth control failed to work because her thyroid problems countered its effects =/

I know you probably won't read this far down, OP, but if you are reading this then please hear me out. I don't know the details of the situation but just cause you and your brother weren't planned, it doesn't mean they love you any less. A lot of stuff happens in life that you didn't plan, but just cause you didn't want it originally doesn't mean it can't turn out to be a good thing. I don't want kids right now, hell to be honest I don't ever want kids. But if my partner ever became pregnant I know I would still love that kid and do everything I could for it. Just be grateful that your parents didn't just abort you and your brother. They chose to put their lives to one side and bring you both up even though it wasn't what they originally planned for themselves. Thats gotta mean something. Even if you had a shitty childhood you still owe those people your life.

Atleast it was both of you. My dad told me, in our family of 4 kids, I was a mistake, everyone else was planned.

I absolutely hate it when people consider the fact that they are "mistakes" FML-worthy. IT'S NOT THAT BAD. I was most likely a mistake, and it's quite apparent that both my parents love me dearly and do not regret having me. Your father does not mean he regrets your birth, he merely means to say that your conception was not planned. Long story short: NOT AN FML. AT ALL. Also, regarding the person who has decided that nobody is a mistake: Some of us are. Our existence may not be a mistake (I am an atheist, so I can't really comment), but the parents we were born to did not intend to conceive us.
