Today, my stepmom sat me down and told me that she doesn't think that my dad is my biological father because she hasn't gotten pregnant from him. I don't think she quite understands the concept of being a stepmom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out I am pregnant. I hooked up with my step-dad not that long ago while my mom was out of town. I'm 30 and he wants to tell my mom my baby is his, and I like the idea of telling her, but also know she won’t take it well. FML
Today, I told my parents I was pregnant but don’t know who the Dad is. My Mom said “that’s alright, I still don’t know who your dad is”. So apparently my father isn’t my real Dad. FML
Today, my mother forwarded me an email my stepdad had sent her because he was annoyed that I left a light on last night. Talk about communication problems. I wonder how I'm going to tell them I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I just found out that my ex girlfriend is gonna be my step mother. FML
Today, my step-mom tried to ground me. I met her just yesterday, when she moved in. FML
Today, within one day of meeting me, my stepmom decided to break up with my dad. Her reason being, "I love you, but I just can’t put up with the kid." I’m 'the kid'. I’m 28 years-old. FML
Today, I let my step-father know exactly what I thought of him. After a few moments of awkward silence, he leaned towards me and quietly whispered, "Well you're adopted. Your parents never loved you." FML
Today, my mom disowned me and forced me to move out because I didn’t have a crying heartbroken meltdown at the death of my stepfather. She knows I hated the man's guts since the first time he slapped her, so my not caring about his death shouldn't have surprised her. FML
Today, I was told by step-dad, who I live with, that my mom "hates my guts" while smiling so big, because he got a call from her. He's so desperate for her to come back that all the lying, cheating, manipulation, and emotional abuse doesn't push him away. She's a tornado. FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think your stepmom is implying that your dad is sterile. She means that siince she's never gotten pregnant from him, your mom probably didn't either.

Your stepmom is an idiot.

I'm not sure why you keep getting down voted. You're absolutely correct.

Because #48, you and #1 are the idiots. The reason her step mom is saying that is because she thinks her father is sterile. Step mom isn't pregnant so her father can't get anyone pregnant, including the op's mother.

@51 You seem to be an idiot. Maybe the stepmom is infertile, but either way the stepmom is definitely an idiot and rude to say that to op.
TheFount 21
#51, I don't think you're even in that ballpark.

@51 I completely agree with you. That's how I understood it. I think Op didn't understand what the stepmother meant because they probably wouldn't have thought they were trying to have a baby. Still a dick move on the stepmoms part since her fertility could be the issue or dad got snipped and didn't want to tell her.

...so? she guesses because shes not getting pregnant hes not able to conceive kids. kinda stupid to assume it can be only his fault, but still.

That's what I was thinking. The step mom thinks that the father is sterile since he hasn't gotten her pregnant yet. It's a fairly large conclusion to jump to but I believe that was her reasoning.

I also find it pretty weird that the first thing she does is talk to his kids under that assumption, rather than with him, and without even any valid proof other than "I think."
cari_cat 19
I instantly knew that's what she meant and was confused how this was an FML. She has a point.
Emmamazing 26
On the bright side, you don't swim in the same gene pool as her. There's still hope for you.

on the downside, the op and you are both incredibly stupid

Exactly what I came here to say. It doesn't mean she's necessarily correct, but at least she's following a line of logic.
oyeh 19
That's what I thought too, even though she had a very roundabout way of saying it. It was the first thing I thought of.
Jirekianu2 19
Unless she has proof that he's been sterile for a very long it's still a VERY speculative thing to say. people's fertility changes as they age. and unless their father admitted it to the step mom and she's trying to be gentle about it... it's still phenomenally stupid and recklessly drama starting.
DarkAngelsBlade 25
It's more than likely that he got a vasectomy before marrying this person. It's incredibly stupid how she just assumes he couldn't have gotten anyone pregnant. She's probably unable to have children and doesn't know it because she has no proof of a child and decided to blame him, immediately jumping to accusations of his ex wife cheating. Not to mention, it's entirely possible this woman is expecting to get pregnant while using condoms/birth control, because there are REALLY stupid people in existence but that would be a very rare case.

Don't forget she could be infertile as well.
xx000o 27
Unfortunately not as rare as you may hope.

Maybe the step mothers the sterile one
Malsain_fml 10
Gosh! After reading this, whoever is OP is now sweating and stressed wondering if her father really is her father...
taylor_marie143 10
No my dad isn't sterile it's hard to explain how she meant what she said through text. She legit believed that if she didn't give birth to me then I must be adopted. She is a trophy wife and is not too bright. She's also only 10 years older than me. We had to explain the concept to her.
Omfgitsmia 15
Wow, thanks for the clarification. You're a strong gal tolerating and living with someone that stupid OP.

Or she can’t have kids

I bet I can guess why he married her! XD

Two reasons; the left one and the right one.

Is she stupid or something?
luckypants 17
I believe she is implying that since she hasn't gotten pregnant, your dad must be shooting blanks. She either really does believe this, or is bothered so much by her lack of becoming preg that she is trying to somehow make herself feel better by saying these things.

It's possible that she has a kid or kids from a previous marriage and therefore thinks he must be the problem?
