Today, despite the fact that we are well off and desperate to be parents, my sister refuses to let us adopt her unborn baby, and intends to “raise him on her own.” We earn twice what she does and have been trying to conceive or adopt for 7 years, and she doesn’t even have a husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife and I have been trying for kids for years and nothing, yet my deadbeat brother just ran out on his third pregnant girlfriend in a row, with no intention of meeting the baby ever. FML
Today, even though she can barely deal with raising kids, my 19-year-old sister announced her fourth pregnancy, by a fourth man, of yet another race. Why? Because she wants to "be like Angelina Jolie." I fear that social services may laugh at me if I tell them. FML
Today, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a year, with no success. My husband's unemployable brother and (still legally married to another man) fiancée announced they are expecting. They have 7 kids between the two of them already. 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, my mom is threatening to disinherit me because I won’t have a baby. I have three siblings who between them have seven kids for her to obsess over, yet she calls at least once a week and always tries to convince me to get pregnant. Fuck off mom. FML
Today, my child-hating friend who vowed never to have any no matter what, announced that she's pregnant. I've had three IVF cycles, spent $90k in fertility treatments, and still can't conceive. FML
Today, my delusional parents are harassing me to donate my house to my little sister, because she's now a single mother at 17, and needs a house for the baby, but sure, I should reward her by giving her my stuff that I worked hard for, just because she can’t keep her knees together. FML
Today, my sister went into a blind rage at me for "upstaging" her by announcing that I'm pregnant, two months after she did the same. My husband and I have been trying for two years. She's in high school and doesn't even know who the father is. FML
Today, I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. I’ve gone through numerous expensive fertility treatments with no success. A former friend of mine owes me almost $2K. I’ve asked for the money back numerous times so that I can use it to pay for another round of IVF. She won’t pay. She just announced that she's pregnant.. FML
Today, we found out my mother-in-law faked her terminal cancer diagnosis to guilt us into getting pregnant, so she could meet her first grand baby “before it's too late.” In no way can we afford this baby, we are already poor, so this will ruin us financially, yet she’s perfectly healthy. FML

None of these things makes you a good parent, you sound insane and totally unfit to be a parent

you self-entitled prick.

If you're so "well off," why haven't you been able to adopt yet? The agencies keep deeming you unfit to be a parent? I guess money can't get you everything, after all. Oh, and I hope your sister gets a restraining order against you.

IVF works to you know.

You aren't owed her child, you entitled assclowns. Not for nothing, but y'all don't seem the kind of people who should be raising kids, lest they end up just like you. The world definitely doesn't need more "you."

"My completely worthless sister won't let me steal her baby! Whaaaa! Poor me!" You, love, are a ******* bunny boiling psychopath.

you are greedy and think your better then her. your not. trying to convince your sister to give up her baby because you think you'll be better. if I was her I'd cut ties with you and never talk to you again. you have no right all because you can't conceive. adopt from a agency.

This cannot be real! Someone cannot be this self centered, dumb and selfish, can they?

So because she doesn't have a husband she's not allowed to raise her own kid? Sorry it's not working out for you, but your sister doesn't owe you her offspring to appease you, no matter the circumstances.
