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!

Everyone loves substitute teachers. I'm guessing you teach a fairly young grade?

umm...apparently some of you people didn't read the part that it was his WIFE having the baby...this is not a female teacher who's 9 months pregnant and just now telling the class she's giving birth! DUH! OP: kind of sucks as a reaction to you being gone, but for most students, a sub means they think they'll have an easy day. I'm sure they were applauding just because they don't think they'll do anything the next day (although I hope that's not true! I'm studying to be a teacher right now so I hope I never start letting days I'm gone become free days!) # 46 (and any others)--Don't just assume he's a bad teacher because the kids are excited about a sub. This actually probably has absolutely no reflection on his effectiveness as a teacher.

A substitute teacher = free day It doesn't mean they applauded because they hate him and he's going to be gone, they applauded because they are essentially given a day where they don't have to do squat.
