Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house after escaping my abusive relationship. My mom scoffed and said, “This is what happens when you move out, barely graduated high school, with a bum.” When I told her I was 3 months pregnant, she said, “And a child out of wedlock? You’re a lost case!” and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, it's been a few weeks since I moved into my own place, so I decided to visit my parents. I rang to ask for a good time to come over but all I got was basically, "Nope, you’re moved out now, a grown up, no longer our problem, ring us when you get some girl pregnant with our first grandbaby, bye." FML
Today, I tried to contact my birth mother, who abandoned me when I was three weeks old. After months of tracing, I finally plucked up the courage to call her. She told me to "f*ck off and die". FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML
Today, I told my family that I’m pregnant. My sister is upset and refuses to accept she’ll have to help with the baby. I’m a single mom going to college and living at home, and will need help. FML
Today, I told my mom I was 3 months pregnant, expecting her to be happy. Instead, she screamed that I was no longer her daughter and she never wanted to see me again before throwing me out of her house, because I got pregnant out of wedlock. Nice math mom. I've been married for 5 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dont tell her, and then about a year after the baby is born, go over and see what happens.

Just go over there unannounced and inform her very calmly that you've decided to quit your job to become a lesbian stripper. After she's had her fit, yell "Just kidding! I'm pregnant!" She'll be so happy that she'll forget the whole food and money thing.

Bullshit, we all know you were gonna pull the "I'm pregnant and poor please pity me and take care of me" card. Every self-centered bitch does.

So letting your parents know your preggo makes you a self-centered bitch? In most womens lives that's something that is planned for that they are proud of, not an excuse to be pitied.

did you just say that most women PLAN pregnancies? this is shocking to me
Naomiiiii 0
Okay, maybe "planned" wasn't the right word, but does that mean that every women that gets pregnant only did it because she wants pity from everyone around her?
TehGirreth 0
Aw, moderated. You guys have no sense of humour. :(

Odd, when my family calls to tell me that they're expecting the first thing they do after informing me is ask for food and money. Planning to be pregnant and family planning are very different things these days.

Congrats on the soon-to-be-baby:D

I say YDI, because your mom should not have a reason to think that you want something from her everytime you talk to her. You clearly "borrow" money and never pay it back, and if you do pay it back, it's 8 months later. I have a grandmother that does this alot =.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
The money still got paid back. Unless there is some kind of specific agreement about when the money is paid back the time frame doesn't matter. All that matters is that it was eventually paid back. It's always possible that is the soonest that they could return the money without having to borrow again.

well that's what you get for only calling when you need something. people seem to frown upon that, then again it's your freaking mom so fyl

I love how u just assume this without knowing the real situation...
anonymous100000 17
I'd show up at her door step, tell her you're pregnant and that since she's a bitch she won't get to see the child. especially since they require money and food
LSU33DucKAholiC 0
but did you want her to help?
darkmis1 18
Maybe OPs mom was the one who stole the teaspoons to do heroin, and that's why she's freaking out so much.

she never said she was 18, and parents have no responsibility to help with a pregnancy whether you are 18 or not, if you are adult enough to get pregnant you are adult enough to take care of the child, but obviously op only calls when they want something
JustinThunder 8
Obviously if she had to visit her mom she no longer lives at home. You can't just assume that OP is needy and was calling her mom for help.
LSU33DucKAholiC 0
The mother assumes it so it must be true to some extent, and you don't have to be 18 to move away
rciccone 0
op should call back in seven or eight monthes when she's going into labour hahaha
whoisthisgirl 4
I don't know what mother would just drop their kids- adult or not. parents are parents for a reason. it's a lifelong responsibly. I know my parents would be there to help me when I'm in my 20's

Why can't we just take the FML at face value? OP wanted to share the, presumably good, news with her mom. F OPs Life for having a mother who's so distant she wouldn't even let OP talk before jumping to conclusions.

5- ha! I was 18 when I got knocked up and my mom won't babysit, give me money rides or nothing!! I love her to death though, it taught me how to grow up and were best friends!

Y'all don't get it do you? let me spell it out for you... if you cannot take care of a child, then you do not need to have sex, and honestly 85 I don't give a crap what your parents did/do for your brother. It has nothing to do with the obvious that op asks her mom for too much when she is supposed to be on her own
LSU33DucKAholiC 0
and love how y'all are all 'well a good parent would do this', um where did I say anything about a good parent? we are talking about op n her mom not about your parents or a good parent or me for that matter. her mother does not have to do anything, n if all op calls her mom for is food or money then why wouldn't the mother assume that's what she wants now... 85 you keep rambling about little things that do not matter, look at the big picture (reread the original post), and you tell me who would ask their kid what they want now if their were not some truth behind the question...

That is bullshit, the mother might be crazy. Parents are not always right just by virtue of being a parent.

you need to go over and tell her that you are pregnant and that your mom is the first person you wanted to tell. She will do the rest because she will be damn embarrassed
rachelmacivor 0
i agree. and to the OP, call her back tell her without letting her talk, and hang up. if she calls back feeling sorry, dont answer. you deserve better.

My parents let me move back in with them while I was struggling financially. I definitely do not take them for granted.

#113: No, her mother hasn't been there for the past 15 years, but now she's pregnant or just had a kid and the mom now wants to be part of her life.
