Today, my husband and I broke the news to my 10-year-old son that in about 8 months, he'll have a baby brother or sister. I knew he never wanted a sibling, but I didn't expect him to throw a tantrum, then look at me through teary eyes and scream, "Why can't you keep your fucking legs closed?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML
Today, my husband and I sat our 8 year-old son down and gently explained to him that I had a miscarriage and he won't be having a little brother or sister after all. He responded by dancing around the room and celebrating. FML
Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML
Today, after my 4 year-old was so excited to be a big sister, hugging my belly every chance she got, counting down the days till the due date, my son was born this morning. She took one look at him and declared, “I don’t like him, leave him here, do we have to keep him?” then started crying. FML
Today, I had to console my bawling 6-year-old son and explain that his sister was lying when she told him that when boys in our family turn 13, they turn into girls. I'm not sure who disappoints me more right now. FML
Today, my husband and I had a huge fight. I have a son from a previous relationship who he loves, but he wants more kids. My son is 9, almost 10, he's so used to being my baby that I can't bring myself to take that from him by having another baby. FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, my wife changed her mind on us having kids, because her eight year-old son said he liked being an only child. She says that my devastated and angry reaction is incredibly unattractive and immature, and that I need to accept compromise. FML
Today, my three-year-old daughter rushed in, excited about her new baby brother or sister. She was so excited, I didn't have the heart to tell her men can't have babies, and I just have a beer gut. FML
Today, I told my daughter that she's going to be a big sister, because there is a baby growing in my tummy. She's been sobbing because I can't convince her that I didn't eat a baby. FML

You need to sit your son down and explain while he does have a right to be upset, he is not allowed to disrespect either of you no matter how mad he is. It will take some time for him to adjust but he eventually will. Sometimes it'll be hard like when he has to share and as they get older he might even get easily annoyed. I am 13 years older than my youngest brother, I just turned 20 and he just turned 7. It might help if as they get older they do something together like family game night to fond a good bond between them.

Technically the kid is right though...

I understand his feelings but he needs an attitude adjustment. Hope you don't tolerate him. All the best, OP! Congratulations! :)

sorry OP but YDI for letting him grow to that age behaving like that. i'm sure this isn't the first time a tantrum like that has been thrown.

As bad as that is for a ten year old to say, it's pretty funny. Sorry!

YDI for allowing your child to be such a spoiled brat.

Well there is always adoption. For your oldest child.

I really wish people would stop laying 100% of the blame on the parents on every single FML to do with misbehaving children. My brother was absolutely awful when he was about 12. He would be fine sometimes, but sometimes he would swear at everyone, make our mother cry, trash the house, and get into incredible tantrums. And it had NOTHING to do with the quality of his upbringing- my mother is wonderful. Me and my sisters were pretty normal, well-behaved kids, so clearly something else was having an effect on my brother and his bad behaviour was not the result of bad parenting. You cannot watch your kids 100% of the time, particularly when they start to get older. They become their own person and are influenced by a range of things/people. Attributing every example of bad behaviour to bad parenting is a very oversimplified way of looking at it.
