Today, my obnoxious mother-in-law berated me in front of my husband's family for still working while pregnant. She says I'm harming the baby by not quitting. I'm only four months pregnant and I work as a nurse at a hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, someone heard me throw up. I then got called aside and told being hungover at work is unacceptable. I don't drink. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I'm 8 months pregnant and still waitressing at a local restaurant. There were only 3 of us serving today and things were hectic. One guy bitched me out, saying "Maybe if you lost some weight you'd walk a little faster!" because I wasn't fast enough with his soup. FML
Today, I was at my in-laws' house, and as I was walking to the living room I had my hands on the back of my hips supporting my back. My mother-in-law told me to stop because it makes me look pregnant. I'm 9 months pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that, despite working 4 part-time jobs, that I will not qualify for maternity leave by my due date with the mandatory 600 hours. I can't get full-time work and I'm 8 months pregnant now. This'll be fun! FML
Today, at work my boss told me I have been late, under-productive, and using up a lot of sick days. He says my job is on the line. My reason for barely showing up at work: I've been on maternity leave for 6 weeks. FML
Today, I found out I'm pregnant, after quitting my job because they asked us to work for free due to COVID. So because I quit, I'm no longer eligible for maternity leave. I didn’t know that I was 4 months pregnant. I could've just gotten a doctor's note for medical reasons. FML
Today, my mother-in-law screamed at the top of her lungs in front of our friends and family that I was stealing her baby away from her. I'd only suggested we go home because he had a migraine. Her baby is 24 years-old and has been married to me for a year. FML
Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. FML
Today, as usual, I'm stuck working in a brutally hostile work environment under my mother-in-law, who's never forgiven me for marrying her daughter. I only got the job because of family politics. Four months on, I still can't even land so much as a single interview elsewhere. FML
Today, my wife was in seemingly never-ending labor. It got so bad, I overheard a nurse in the doorway mutter to a coworker that she hoped my baby would just die or something, so she could finally go take a smoke break. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you're working when you go into labour, it will be like nurse's inception.

Um...wow...She actually thinks you have to quit? One word: DUMBASS. You don't have to leave your job when you have a kid. It's called MATERNITY LEAVE. Give that stuck up bitch a reality check and tell her to go spend it at the Get-the-****-out store.

Shes ignorant. Unless shes an obgyn, she should mind her own. Your a nurse. And im sure your baby's saftey as your #1 concern.

Wtf? There's something seriously wrong with this woman... If you were farther along that'd be one thing... But from the looks of it your in law might need to be put into some mental therapy sessions cause somethin' isn't clicking.

Your mother in law sounds evil. Good luck with your pregnancy and the birth of your child.

Well congrats on the pregnancy. Sorry you have a psycho mil, I have one too. Sucks, I try not to see her as much as possible. You might wanna start putting up some serious barriers NOW. Otherwise you'll never get rid of the crazy lady.

Lol did u notice that 99% of all FML posts happen in USA. Whenever someone talks about people they say how evil they are. Whenever they say something that hhappen in family they say how their parents are evil. Whenever someone stole something from you they say how people attack them instead of robber. Whenever someone gets dumped he got his house burned to ashes. Whenever i go to fmylife.com i see lots of new fml all originated in US. Whenever i post comment about:This is why u shouldn't live in US it gets deleted. And your american dream sux cause it doesnt exist and god never blessed america cause god will never bless evil.

I worked up until a week before I had my son. You are a nurse you know what is best for you. I hate when people think it's their place to tell you what to do. There is no way my husband would sit around and let his mother talk to me that way, but she wouldn't so it doesn't matter. Good luck with your in-laws.
