Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother sat me down and told me, "I'm not going to lie, I hate living with you. Please get a job and move out." I'm 16. 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, my mother keeps nagging me to find a wife, settle down, and have kids, even though I have zero interest in any of those things. She refuses to understand that I’m perfectly content being completely on my own. She even signed me up to Tinder without my knowledge. FML
Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML
Today, I finally had the guts to tell my mom about her boyfriend hitting on me. Not only did she not care, but she got mad at me. I'm 15. FML
Today, my mother found out that my fiancée broke up with her last boyfriend because she didn't want kids and he did. She's now demanding that I either change her mind, or call things off with her. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, my mum gave me a two-month ultimatum to get married or risk being disowned. I’m only 24. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, after telling my mom that I'll be going to Las Vegas with my dad for my 21st birthday, she started ranting about how my dad always wanted to abort me and that she was the only one who actually wanted me. FML

My parents couldn’t stomach the idea of me never marrying. They treated it as an expectation if not an outright demand and all but forced me to marry someone who hated me. Stay strong.

Seems like a significant overreaction on both parts... At the age of 16 it's kind of early to know if you will ever want to get married or have kids. Obviously OP doesn't want that now or soon, but we often change our minds as we go through the stages of our life... And obviously Mom was already planning on grandchildren - Which is definitely not her decision... OP, in this stage of your life you are completely rational not to want kids now. And you may or may not ever change your mind on that in the future. But the fact is that it's usually wisest to keep your options open and be aware that some decisions we make in the future may not be what we anticipate now. For this stage of life preparation for your future is most important. If you don't learn how to support yourself financially, you will always be under the power of others - That could be parents, BF, GF, husband or wife.... It would have been wiser to have told mom that you don't want kids or a marriage anytime soon but you didn't know how you will feel in the future. Its honest and would have let grand children obsessed mom down more gently.

This soon will change, though.

stick to your guns. Live the life that YOU find the most fulfilling. A large majority of us are child-free and never regretted it. Also... when men figure out how to be equal ******* partners then maybe we'd WANT to get married. Until then, single cat lady is idyllic in comparison to marrying the man-children.

She should not have gone into hysterics, but you did not have to make that announcement at age 16, either. Regardless, let's all lighten up. (smile)
