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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at work, we were gathered to be told some bad news. One of our colleagues would be taking indefinite leave because his wife had dropped their newborn baby. I accidentally laughed at the image. FML
Today, I told my students that I would be taking a few weeks off because a member of my family is very ill. They all cheered. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a father. Too bad I can't tell my wife. FML
Today, at my job as a second grade teacher, I was explaining to my students how I'm pregnant and will have to take a break from teaching after I have my baby. One of my students replied with "Ooooooooohhh Ms. Johnson had sex!" FML
Today, my colleague rushed off to the hospital for the birth of his first son. Having met his wife at the Christmas party a couple of years ago, I called to congratulate her. Shame I didn't realize it was his mistress having the baby. Guess who broke the news to the wife. FML
Today, I told my husband I was pregnant, then he fainted. 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 announced my pregnancy to my boss. I was expecting all sorts of reactions, except, "But... Erm... How did that happen?" FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, my friend thought it would be funny to announce to the class that I finally got a girlfriend. I received a standing ovation. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Yeah, why would they applaud to congratulate you on the baby? You're their teacher, they see you as an assexual being who is at school for 7 hours, then climbs into a sealed chamber and hibernates until the next day.

congratulations on the baby by the way Don't take it to heart. Kids always love it when the teacher won't be there, regardless of the class or the grade they're in. haha #45. I'm studying to be a teacher, so I guess I'll get to know how that feels when I get out of school.

What do you expect they're your students not your friends They're just happy they have a substitute so they don't have to do any work. Do you honestly think they would care about you having a baby?

Hey highschool can be stressful for students too. : D I don't think I ever applauded but I have like powerslid into the room from excitement when we had a sub. Think of it as a win win, you get the day off to see your newborn enter life, and they get a period off. = D At least it's for a good reason! An English teacher who was ALWAYS there was out one day which we all started to be happy about, unfortunately it was about a family emergency :( which of course immediately ended the happiness once we found out. Congrats on the baby, hope its healthy!

My mother and sister both teach. If the students don't like you, it's most likely because you actually do your job right. I hope everything turns out well with the child and your wife!
