Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML

Today, I announced my pregnancy to my parents, expecting them to be thrilled. Instead, they were furious. Apparently, being unmarried and on disability means I can't raise a baby. FML
Today, I turned down my boyfriend's proposal because I'm pregnant and I told him I didn't want people thinking that's why we were getting married. He… did not react well. Yes, he knows that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I’m pregnant. He broke down crying because his mother is going to be so mad at him. He’s in his 30’s and we've lived together for over 4 years, it’s not like it was a drunken mistake, it just happened naturally. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I agreed to tell her parents that she's pregnant. When they started freaking out, instead of dealing with the situation maturely, she went into straight-up denial and said, "It's okay, I'm not the mom." FML
Today, I announced my third pregnancy to my parents, thinking they’d be excited. Instead, they gave me 30 days to find a new place, saying they refuse to raise “any more of your children.” FML
Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, after a necessary medical procedure that rendered my birth control ineffective, I found out I’m pregnant. I was already planning to break up with my manchild boyfriend, and when I told him this, his first response was, “What will my parents think?” Parents with whom he still lives at age 30. FML
Today, I told my parents I was pregnant. They yelled at me until I started crying. I'm 31, married, and I have a good paying job. 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

She's just scared because she realized her little boy is a man now

Just because they are self-sufficient doesn't mean they will be great parents. Maybe the mother in law has her reasons for that reaction.

She may or may not have reasons to say something like that. The problem is that 300 characters or whatever can't tell a life story; but if everyone else is excited, we can sort of agree that the mother is the "odd one out". So, included in the excitement are: father in law, mother, father, family, extended family, and friends. OP, you are old enough to decide if your mother in law's statement is valid. If you think it isn't, don't let it stress you out. If you think it is, then work on your life choices.

Or maybe the mother in law is just a big fat bitch, the biggest bitch in the whole wide world.

Give her time she'll come round to the idea and end up thrilled for you I'm sure.

If everyone else's supporting your new family, why bother with that bitch? Wishing the best to you!

Don't listen to her, my mom is the same way. I'm 29, very happily married and we have good jobs, a good family home and are more than ready but my mom still doesn't like it because "she isn't ready to be a grandma".

You're the one pregnant and mother-in-law to be is getting the morning sickness? Sounds like a neat curse.

I hope his mom is being sarcastic, if not, his mom has a problem.

If she acts like this around you, is it a good idea to introduce her to the child?
