Today, my husband wants me to apologize for getting angry when his father told me I'm getting so fat that I look like a whale. I'm not fat, I'm just 8 months pregnant. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I called my wife from work to check in on her because she's eight months pregnant. She didn't answer. Instead she showed up at my work hysterically crying and screaming, "You don't love me because I'm a fat whale!" She then knocked everything off my desk. FML
Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML
Today, I am six months pregnant and have been lactating. When I noticed this and pointed it out to my husband, I jokingly stated that I felt like a cow. He then replied. "Oh, you're not a cow. At most you're just a fat pig." He still has no clue why I'm upset. FML
Today, I was walking through the mall with my husband. We came across a guy who was selling some weight loss pills. He tried to sell me some and I kindly declined. He told me not to deny my weight problems. Thanks. I'm 7 months pregnant. FML
Today, I was proudly telling my husband that I only gained 8 lbs throughout the pregnancy thus far. I usually obsess over my weight, so it was a great accomplishment for me. He then turned and pinched my arms, saying, "Well, looks like all the fat migrated to your arms." FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she could include mashed potatoes and gravy with dinner. She then went on to yell at me about my "unhealthy eating habits" and how I've "gained a lot of weight in the past few months". I'm pregnant. FML
Today, after making several comments about how I didn't exactly look thin, my boyfriend said, "Well, at least we know you'll look good pregnant." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did your husband not talk to his father in the last 8 months, because being pregnant is a pretty big thing you usually bring up in conversation?

You don't owe your father in law an apologize. He is the one that should be apologizing to you.

Oh my god, the last couple of months were so terrible when I was pregnant with my son. I used to hear fat jokes from everyone ( I don't understand why people think that's ok) and people think we overreact when we get upset because of hormones. The joys of pregnancy.

Yeah, it puzzles me as to why people make fat jokes when someone's clearly pregnant. Either they're idiots who don't know how pregnancy works or they just like to poke fun. Either way, they suck big time. Becoming a new parent should be an amazing time, not a time to be belittled

Maybe the father in law was making a joke? I've heard of people teasing pregnant women about their baby fat but I guess his was just in bad taste. don't get angry at your husband now, OP. congratulations on the pregnancy!

"Obviously you don't know how pregnancy works."

Tell your husband he can go suck a ****, because he's on the couch until he drops that demand. If he doesn't respect you enough to understand why you're upset, then he needs to be put in line just like his father.

Even if you had a BMI of freaking 100 that would still be rude as heck.

The thing is, even if it was a joke, you shouldn't have to apologize for being rationally angry. Reading the other comments, I get that it was probably just a funny, but you shouldn't feel bad for getting mad! And your husband shouldn't be telling you how to react. But congrats on the pregnancy, OP. Please follow up on this! Congrats once again :) :) :)
