Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my mother-in-law invited all my wife’s friends and family, and my family, to her baby shower, well over a 50-60 people. Two people came. FML

Today, my wife invited 45+ people to her baby shower, but literally 4 people came. Now I get to deal with my pregnant wife and her fluctuating hormones. FML

Today, we celebrated our daughter's sixth birthday. Out of the 30 invited, 7 showed up. The last one to cancel this morning told us she was ill. My daughter was in tears as this meant the last remaining playmate couldn't come. My wife later saw her tagged on Facebook at another party. FML

Great party, eh?
Today, my girlfriend and I threw a housewarming party we'd been planning for almost 2 months. Out of the 30 plus people I invited from work, literally nobody showed up. Not going to lie, I'm a little depressed about it. It's going to be hard to go to work and pretend I'm not upset. FML

Congratulations!
Today, I realized how much my family truly hates me. I had a whole baby and nobody showed up to the hospital. FML

Paaaaaaarty!
Today, it's my birthday. I'd planned an outside party in my backyard, and I'd invited all of my friends. Only 2 of them showed up. It also rained today, even though it wasn't supposed to. FML

Don’t take it personally — people like you just fine, but they think you’re baby is a jerk.

Should have RSVPed and hopefully real invitations not a facebook invite .

Yeah no offense intended, but no-one really cares that you decided to pop out another mouth to feed in this world. Don't expect others to support your personal choices.

If you can afford to hire a hostess for your baby shower, you can afford to buy your kid's things yourself. And if you can't afford a stroller, you should think twice about having a kid.

I assume that the hostess was a friend or a family member. That's how baby showers work. You don't do it yourself.

That couldn’t have felt good, sorry that happened.
