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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, 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

Being a student myself, I'm not surprised. Students only care about the pregnant stuff if YOU'RE the one pregnant(females only) or if they're really young. I might've done the same depending on the teacher.

well, that's normal, I guess. I'm a student and I'm always happy when a teacher skips a class - especially if it's for such a happy thing like a birth and not for an illness or so. It's always nice to have some more time off, even if you may like the teacher.

Honestly, don't be so damn hard on yourself. They're students, they'll be happy anytime their teacher is gone...as long as the substitutes aren't super bitches themselves.

This isn't an FML, your wife is about to have your kid. How's that bad? And trust me, ALL students would love to have supply teachers. Doesn't matter what grade, we're all applauding when our regular teachers aren't there. It's not you, it's just the way things are. It goes for every teacher. No student says "oh darn, a supply teacher today! now we don't have to learn :( "

You know kids. It's just the whole excitement about having a substitute they can manipulate. I remember being a douche when I was in high school. My senior year for example, my psychology teacher was getting married and all the class could think about was, "Yes! We don't have to do out homework!", or something insensitive like that. Don't let it get to you though, this is a happy day. Congratulations on your new baby! I hope he or she comes out healthy!

You are new at teaching... Trust me when they applauded they were all happy for you...but remember that they are not adults, the best way they can express their happiness is by making fun of you.

maybe you shouldn't be such a sucky teacher.
