Today, my over-protective husband went into an extreme fit of jealousy at the sight of me breast-feeding our newborn baby boy. He's trying to make me bottle-feed our boy, because apparently it's "wrong" to let another guy touch my boobs. FML

Today, my husband and mother started supplementing my newborn son with formula, because they are such control freaks and don't like my son getting attached to me. He was doing very well while exclusively breastfed according to the doctor. But it looks like my happiness or my son's well-being is of zero importance. FML
Today, my husband was disgusted by me expressing breast milk while we were in the shower together. This is the same man who thinks it's funny to pee on my legs because, "It'll wash off." FML
Today, my baby son latched onto my nipple for a feed, after a month of having to be bottle fed because he wouldn't latch. This would be fantastic, if it weren't for the fact that I'm his father, not his mother. FML
Today, I got pissed after my boyfriend tried mansplaining breastfeeding to me. I’ve nursed two children of my own, stocked and sustained two big freezers full, and still had leftovers to donate to preemies. He tried saying pumping "doesn’t increase supply" and that I just “got lucky” making so much. FML
Today, we ran out of milk and my 4 year-old son came up to me and asked if he could "milk" my wife's breasts for his cereal. Apparently, he thinks my wife doesn't love him and his sister is selfish for not sharing her milk. His sister is only one month old. FML
Today I left my 8-week-old with my brother so I could return to work. His wife took all the breast milk I'd packed out of the fridge and poured it out. According to her, it was “gross” and she didn’t want it near her food. My son is allergic to formula. FML
Today, it was my brother's wedding so my mother-in-law was taking care of my 8-month-old son. When I came back to our room to check how things were going, I saw her "breastfeeding" my child. She said it was the only way to calm him down because he didn't have a pacifier. FML
Today, I caught my pregnant wife trying to suck milk from her breasts. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said, "I just find I'm not at all confident bottle feeding a baby, as I breastfed all of mine." Thank you for making me feel like s*** for me decision to bottle feed. FML
Today, I sent my husband out for baby formula and cocoa butter to soothe my boobs from breastfeeding. He came back with powdered milk and deep heat rub. AND he still wanted praise for at least having tried to get what I asked for. I would kill him, but I need his wages while I'm on maternity. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Somehow I think he's either the stupidest guy on earth or he's joking.

What? Is he joking? That's absolutely ridiculous. It's his son, oh my god.

Tell him you're the one who had the kid inside of you for nine motherfuckin' months, dammit, and you will feed the child from whichever breast you prefer! :P

Having some trouble understanding the views of those voting "you deserved it".

Trolls or douchebags, or a mixture of the two.

"You deserve it for being a dirty **** and letting your infant child suck your nipples." - Those with the same unfortunate mindset as the OP's husband.

I'd say it's because she allowed this moron to impregnate her in the first place.. I feel sorry for the child... OP's partner is aware the whole reason females have boobs, is to feed their kids right? I'm lost for words to describe how utterly idiotic OP's husband is.

The fact that she's stayed with an idiot is my guess. I vote a mix. She deserves it for staying this long, but **** her life before not knowing soon enough.

Leave him! If that's how he is now it's not going to get any better.

Yes leave the father figure because he's jealous. Let the mother struggle with the kid herself. **** logic and reasoning right? OP could at least talk to her husband about it first.

17, breakups or divorces are last resorts, not first. If the husband's idiocy is utterly unmanageable, and they've exhausted every option, then it's on the table. Especially in a case where a child is involved, one can't make that sort of decision arbitrarily. |the kid|

I'm not normally one to advocate divorce but being jealous of your own newborn son for doing something that is completely natural seems a bit extreme to me. Chances are, this is not the only instance of crazy that he's shown. If the OP has the means to divorce both in terms of the cost of divorce and in terms of raising her son on a single income, then she should do so.

I seriously don't want to live on this planet anymore. Breasts are meant for breastfeeding, damn guy.
