Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML
Today, my mom bitched me out in front of my friends because I had my first kiss at "such a young age". She's 15 years older than me. FML
Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML
Today, my mom is threatening to disinherit me because I won’t have a baby. I have three siblings who between them have seven kids for her to obsess over, yet she calls at least once a week and always tries to convince me to get pregnant. Fuck off mom. FML
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, my siblings came home for the weekend. At dinner, my dad started complaining at how one of my siblings had gotten fired, one was failing college, and the other was gay. He went on to say I was 17 and already had a bright future. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my sister went into a blind rage at me for "upstaging" her by announcing that I'm pregnant, two months after she did the same. My husband and I have been trying for two years. She's in high school and doesn't even know who the father is. FML
Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML
Today, my mom once again told me that I'm too young and immature to get married, and that I don't know what love is. I'm 29, have a successful career, own my own home, and am financially stable. FML
Today, even though she can barely deal with raising kids, my 19-year-old sister announced her fourth pregnancy, by a fourth man, of yet another race. Why? Because she wants to "be like Angelina Jolie." I fear that social services may laugh at me if I tell them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your mom sounds like a great role model. *sarcasm* Don't feel bad, OP, my grandma gives me a tough time for wanting to finish school before starting a family.

Old fashioned people what can I say. At least you're in school though, I mean she can't be that mad

Wasn't there a very similar fml to this recently? Maybe I'm going crazy.

It could be opposite day, or OP posted this from another horrible, horrible dimension worse than ours.

OP, aside from your future trip with your sister to the Maury show, and possibly the cops, I feel sorry for you about your mom's outlook on life. I'm sure one day you'll find someone you actually want to have a child with and hopefully your mom will understand that. Until then just hang in there!

Great parenting advice, mother *sarcasm*

It's sad that people have to indicate sarcasm in their reply. What is this? The big bang theory

84- It's not sad; it's refreshing. No way there should be any confusion with using sarcasm through text.

Yes 57, I think you're talking about the one where the mom made fun of her daughter for not having a boyfriend when she (mom) was pregnant at 16. Is that it?
saidoh_fml 26
57, you are definitely not crazy. In addition to 124, there was also one where a woman announced her pregnancy after she and her husband had been trying for years, and her sister got upset with her for "upstaging" her, although she was in high school and didn't know who the father was.

Sadly, I have a mother who is like this, though not baby hungry, just as backwards. She sings the praises of my younger sister and tries to relive her younger years through her. My younger sister goes through boyfriends like its nobodies business, which my mom seems to like the excitement of, and me having the same one for nearly 6 years makes me like the **** to end all ***** (I don't get it either ...) And of course, her constantly changing boyfriends (of usually no more than 4 weeks) are allowed to spend the night and do as they please in her room, and my boyfriend was (I no longer live there) only allowed to stay at our house on the couch in the living room with me during daylight hours. The moms like this seem to only really think about themselves ...

149, I remember that. It pissed me off how stupid people can be.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Of course she shows nothing but praise for her. She doesn't know which of the three is the father, so that just means three new sons in law for your mother.

Umm...it doesn't quite work that way.
missalkali 8
if you praise your fifteen year old for being pregnant and "bitch out" your nineteen year old for not ******* every guy she sees… things work any way you want them to work regardless of the way the real world works… unless I'm seeing a pattern that isn't present.

#22 - Joke detection doesn't quite work that way either.
Nyx_fml 23
But, but, but... in your profile you say you love a "sence" of humor, no matter what kind. You're such a liar. D: Also, please give me directions on how to "work sarcasm". Is that like working on one's spelling?
iknowiwantyou 13
43, working spelling is objective while working sarcasm is subjective. There.

83, it was quoted and spelled in context. They definitely meant "sence". Go read 40s profile if you still don't get it.

your mom has some messed up values.

Her morals seem a bit backwards...

Because you are Swedish, #7, I will forego your spelling error, and I'll keep the Grammar Nazi army at bay as long as I can. To the death.

Maybe your mom wants to be one of those young grandmothers. "My, you look so young to be a grandma!"

Sounds like your mom has her priorities straight. -_-
