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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. 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, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML
Today, my mom told me that she had great news: we were going to meet my biological parents. I didn't know I was adopted. FML
Today, my daughter and her boyfriend excitedly told me that after months of trying they are finally pregnant and that I'm going to be a grandmother. This would be great news if they weren't 15. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I broke the news to my parents that we're having a baby. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "It's probably not yours." FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. 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 :)

So she's a fake grandma.

Why would you let your mother think that way about your family? Your daughter is your daughter, no matter how she joined the family.

She doesn't "let" her mother think anything.

If she didn't say anything to her mother for saying such a thing then, yes, she does/did.

Have you perfected some sort of mind control device? Otherwise I'm confused how you expect OP to control her mother's thoughts..

Why do you assume something with a character limit is telling the entire story? OP most likely said something after this.

How awful. I really hope something was done to put your mom in her place.

I don't think it matters, that'd hurt at any age. ):

What an absolutely despicable thing to say. I don't think there's a sufficient word in the english language to describe how angry and disgusted I would be if I was in your situation, OP. Congratulations on your new baby to be, and I'm sure your adopted daughter will be an awesome big sister.

Does she not consider your current daughter a grandchild? What is she to her then...a little girl that hangs around?
