Today, when done feeding my newborn, I stated to my husband that I'm a cow. He said, in a sincere tone, "Oh, baby, you'll lose the weight soon." I meant cow because I'm producing so much milk. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I am six months pregnant and have been lactating. When I noticed this and pointed it out to my husband, I jokingly stated that I felt like a cow. He then replied. "Oh, you're not a cow. At most you're just a fat pig." He still has no clue why I'm upset. FML
Today, when my mother-in-law told me I was losing weight, my husband started laughing. FML
Today, a customer greeted me with, "So! When's the baby coming!?" I'm NOT pregnant. I just gain weight in my guts. FML
Today, I was taking my 3 month-old nephew for a walk in his stroller, when a lady stopped me to coo over him. Then she patted my stomach and said, "Don't worry, you'll lose the baby weight soon." I've never had a baby. FML
Today, I was teaching my one year-old some new words. He pointed to the picture of a pig and said, "Mama". Guess I better start that diet. FML
Today, I caught my pregnant wife trying to suck milk from her breasts. FML
Today, in the middle of the store, my daughter pointed at my belly and loudly announced that she was going to have a brother. I'm a man, and apparently I need to lose weight. FML
Today, my 4 year old son told his preschool teacher that his daddy could pick up 10,000 cows but couldn't pick up his mommy because she was too heavy. I'm the mommy. FML
Today, I went to the store to get groceries. After getting all the stuff I need, and was heading towards the checkout point, I heard a baby cry and instantly felt coldness on my shirt. Yes I was lactating, and yes it was noticeable. FML
Today, we ran out of milk and my 4 year-old son came up to me and asked if he could "milk" my wife's breasts for his cereal. Apparently, he thinks my wife doesn't love him and his sister is selfish for not sharing her milk. His sister is only one month old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't see how this is an FML. You have baby weight. Your husband isn't making a huge deal of it. BTW, "cow" is usually synonymous with being overweight. All mammals breastfeed.

You know he might not even think you're fat. A lot of women who jut gave birth complain about the weight gain, so he might just have assumed that's what you meant and tried to be comforting. It doesn't necessarily mean HE thinks you need to lose any weight.

Agree with #54 So what, you probably have gained some baby weight. Most people do. Not everyone works it off though. It's up to you.

well after having a baby you still have that weight on you and when you said that he apparently thought you were complaining on the weight you gained from the baby. It doesn't mean he thinks you're thick, he was just trying to make you feel better. Instead of saying "Oh honey, you look great" and causing an argument he went with "you'll lose it soon" Nothing to be offended by, it only natural to gain weight while pregant!

Alright, so maybe not "fishing for compliments" but in normal social interaction, when a woman makes such a comment, they have an underlying motive/expectation for the return comment to be a compliment or uplifting. Women don't say things like that just to say them, everyone knows that. There's a reason behind the comment. Either way, her husband responded in a manner that any normally socially funtioning person would expect. It's not an FML. And it's nobody's fault. Things like that happen. Get over it. And #61, yes, I agree, they are gradually getting more pathetic.
