Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML

Today, I finally decided to tell my mother, a former Miss North Carolina winner, that I was several weeks pregnant. She immediately burst into tears and hugged me. She kept saying, "Thank god, thank god." At first I was relieved. Then she said, "I thought you were just getting fat." FML

Today, my son had a child to spite his ex and ex-stepson. He was holding his daughter in his arms in the delivery room when he told me that now I can stop visiting his ex-stepson and pretending he’s my real grandchild, because now I have a real granddaughter. I’m speechless. FML
Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML

Your daughter should cheer up! You can't choose your mother but she was chosen by you :)

I've seen people YDI fmls that didn't deserve way more than this one so don't count on it.

You need to have a serious talk with your mother.

How OP addressed this with her mother and then with her daughter is crucial. But as an adopted child I can't help but be offended by the mother's sentiment.

Please go to this site: community.babycenter.com and join the DWIL Nation. That is completely unacceptable and inappropriate behavior on your mom's part. It merits a long T.O. if not an indefinite one. geezer!

I would've let her have it! At least my daughter would have seen me seen stand up for her. Also one more comment like that and she would never have anything to do with any of my children again.
