Today, my future sister-in-law, who hasn’t even been engaged a week, informed everyone that the wedding is on December 19th, which is the due date of my first child. My brother won’t change the date and is making my family choose between his wedding or being at the hospital with me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm 6 months pregnant with my first child and excited. My brother and his girlfriend announced they're getting married… on my due date. They refuse to change the date. FML
Today, my future sister-in-law cancelled my invitation to her and my brother's wedding. Her reason was that I was incredibly rude to announce my pregnancy to my family at a time like this, because it took all the attention away from her. FML
Today, my sister announced that she just got engaged… right as I was in the midst of giving birth to my twin daughters. The thing is, she's not actually engaged. In fact, she's single. She just couldn't stand that I was "upstaging" her and "had to think of something fast." FML
Today, my brother and his girlfriend are fighting about something they agreed on YEARS ago. Every couple of months this argument comes back and his girlfriend changes the rules or the definition. I can’t believe she gonna become my sister-in-law. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, my sister-in-law announced that she’s pregnant. With my kid. And the doctor thinks it might be twins. FML
Today, I announced my engagement. My mother's response was to freak out and demand that I postpone my wedding indefinitely. Why? My younger sister caught the bouquet at a wedding last year, so "she has to get married first!" My sister has been single for 3 years and showers once a week. FML
Today, I was yelled at and humiliated by my otherwise awesome brother-in-law for my supposed lack of effort in the planning of a baby shower for my very pregnant sister. The kicker? Her huge, break-my-bank semi-surprise baby shower has been in the works for a month, and is happening this weekend. FML
Today, I found out my oldest brother is getting married in two weeks. I heard about it through one of my two sisters, who pretty much helped end his last marriage, and who he hasn’t spoken to in 3 years. She wanted to complain about the invite taking so long. I still haven’t been invited, and I thought we were on good terms. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your due date is an estimate and may even change. They will make their choices regardless of your wishes. At least now you know what kind of person your brother is marrying and who is going to be wearing the pants in that relationship.

It is inconsiderate of your brother but odds of baby being born exactly on due date are only about 5 percent so unless the wedding is half around the world your family probably doesn't have to choose. Now if your husband would be going to the wedding instead of being with you, either at home or at hospital, that would be an actual FML.

Good luck OP. Tell them to go to the wedding. It would be nice if they where at the hospital, but honestly, they would just be sitting in a room doing nothing. You will have lots a times to be with then and your family.

no **** that. if by the off chance they're on the same day make them choose. her brother is a horrible person, this is the best way for her to see who else in her family is like that.

Your due date is just a guess. The odds your kid with actually drop on that day are pretty small. When you're at the hospital, are you going to provide your visitors a catered meal and an open bar? How do you plan to compete with your brother?

The birth of a child is way more important than a wedding no matter what. She picked that date to be a bitch

Pretty shitty of her and really shitty of your brother. Due date does not mean it will happen on that date... They could have it sooner or later than that though :(

Guess you'll be checking the "I will not be attending" box on that RSVP.

When I was giving birth, I wanted NO ONE with me. Not before, during, or after. Everyone is different, I know. But if anyone chooses a wedding over visiting you, you likely wouldn’t want that type of person with you anyway.

I agree with others said about your due date. Chances of you giving birth at 40 weeks is slim to none. UNLESS your OB already scheduled you to be induced that date already (which is really early to be given an induction date when it's so far away..) You're more likely to go in early or late by a week. And even then, you could be in labor for 24 hours like I was with my first! I just had a third child two weeks ago, and because of covid, no visitors. I was actually...really happy about it. Having to deal with visitors while recovering for my first two was very tiring, even if it was my immediate family!

I'm not sure why you need all these people at the hospital while you give birth. Not to mention the fact that most women do not give birth on their due date. ydi

You do realize very few babies actually arrive on their due date right? And honestly, he did you a favor. Having a lot of people at the hospital with you will just make it an extremely stressful experience. Better to just have a few close people and that's it.
