sorry your mom is such a douche. congrats on your pregnancy OP!

Hm. Threw a party for yourself? Speech? While your mom doesn't sound like the most nurturing lady around, I'm not getting the feeling that you suffer from low self esteem...

17- I was thinking that. surely a phone call saying 'i'm having a baby' would have sufficed? i intend on posting pictures of the scan to my family saying 'hi grandma/grandad/whatever!' but i think throwing a party just to announce it is a bit extravagant

17 and 25, most people like hearing about that sort of thing in person. Besides, why not throw a party? It's like an early baby shower and a reason to celebrate.

'fraid I'm in the 17/25 camp here. Maybe it's the British reserve talking, but OP's approach seems slightly dramatic. I'd rather hear this from my nearest and dearest directly and personally, not as part of an audience... She can always throw a celebratory party afterwards.

I'm pretty sure a movie like that doesn't even need a good plot.

This mom sucks way to be supportive!!! Mom, "what did you name her?" op, " beezie after her grandmother!!!!!!!!"

But one of the parents will need to be dead or die during the movie (at least in 90% of Disney movies that is)

It's a crying shame the Op can't drink. So thanks mom! (Sarcasm)

#12, you have seen the heroics I've done to help my diabetic friends and relatives.

But she said nobody gives a rats ass. She obviously doesn't give a fuck.

This is FML. You can curse. FUCK! See?
