Today, my mother told me to my face that if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have had kids. Thanks, Mum. It's not like I asked to be born. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, my mom said that if I wasn't her daughter, she probably wouldn't even like me. FML
Today, my drunk mom told me to apologize for being born. FML
Today, my mom was screaming at me and said, "I wish I'd never adopted you." I guess I'm adopted then. 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, my mother looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, my parents made a list of all the things they could have done had I not been born. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

While that’s a definite downer, take it for what it is - Mom is being honest with you. Obviously you had no say or choice in the matter and it’s not your fault. Hopefully, otherwise Mom has been a loving mom to you. Remember this as you go forward - Do not have children unless both you and the father to be wants children and is prepared to take care of them. Don’t make the regrets span multi-generations.

That hurts. I'm sorry but that's a common feeling that's grown over the years. Most people won't even admit it (your mom obviously is on thr contrary). Kids cost money, very time consuming, and can even shorten the parent's lifespan (I'm not joking). Unlike Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z are now choosing to be single (or got no choice; guilty as charged), or choosing to not have kids so they can focus on themselves and persue their life goals. When you have a kid, you kiss a good ass half of those goals and money away. Again, very sorry your mom said that but don't feel alone. Treat yourself by having a better lifestyle and having more money than her in the future.

My grand-ma and my mother admitted the same thing. I don't blame them, I don't want kids so I can rely. It's not that mean you know, at least she's lucid and honest.

You are probably the best thing that ever happened & she just wants a better society for you : )

That's actually pretty mean. Even if it's true she shouldn't be saying stuff like that to her kids. Sorry you had to go through that
