Today, my mother-in-law was so rabid to meet her first grandson, she didn’t just nudge me aside to get to the delivery room, she two-hand shoved me in the chest so I flew backwards and down a flight of stairs. I’m now in a neck brace for a hairline crack to my vertebrae and can’t pick up my own son. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my wife and I both got released from the hospital. She was admitted for the birth of our daughter. I was admitted with a broken arm from when my mother-in-law shoved me out of the way because she wanted to be the first one to hold the baby after my wife. FML
Today, and since we've had our baby, my mother-in-law started coming round more often, then bringing her stuff to stay overnight, then started claiming she lived here, and got hysterical when we told her she doesn’t. I had to pick her up and place her outside while she punched me in the head repeatedly. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, my mother-in-law scheduled her neck surgery for the same day our baby is being born. She also fully expects my husband to drive her to the hospital and stay for her recovery. Uh, yeah no. FML
Today, despite being the first to hold all my other grandchildren, despite my son and bitch of a daughter-in-law agreeing I would be the first, I showed up at the hospital to see my daughter-in-law's father holding my grandchild before me. FML
Today, I fell down some stairs and broke my ankle. At the hospital, a nurse asked how far along I was and boom, one ultrasound later, I’m actually pregnant. I had to then convince multiple doctors that I did not in fact throw myself down the stairs trying to cause miscarriage before they’d let me go home. FML
Today, carrying my 10-month old niece down the stairs, I missed a step. Protecting her on the way down, I badly sprained my right foot and snapped the ligament in my left. I now can’t walk. FML
Today, my mother-in-law tried to "accidentally" run me over. FML
Today, my wife straight up knocked my mother out cold with a straight jab to the face, turned to walk away, cracked her neck and announced to the world, “I’ve been waiting 4 years to do that.” What the hell has been going on around here? FML
Today, I received a serious concussion and several stitches to the back of my head. The attacker? My mom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If this kind of behavior is a recurring pattern of hers, you may want to have a serious talk with your wife about not allowing your MIL to visit you and the child. Her recklessness inflicted heavy bodily harm on you, and things could have been much more serious (it's not uncommon for people to die from falling down the stairs, especially if pushed with force). If she's capable of almost killing you, your child may not be safe with her. Also, it might be worth it at least to teach her a lesson about restraint and not injuring others for stupid reasons.

It's cute that you think that was her motivation. Now that your sperm donation to her daughter has bore fruit, you are no longer necessary and can be liquidated. Mwah-hah-hah!

She sounds horrid. Sue her to cover medical expenses and lost wages. As stated above, also press charges for assault.

I actually get it. Only the mother of a daughter who has waited to finally be a grandmother can understand, Lolol.

No. Seek intensive therapy immediately.

Are you the MIL in this FML? Also, children never owe their parents grandchildren.

And what did she tell you after that? Did she realized how crazy her attitude had been? And what did your wife tell her ? Did she support you?

Ban her from your household.

You should have seen her roundhouse kick the obstetrician in the head.
