Today, I told my parents I'm pregnant. I got a long lecture from my mom about using protection. It would have been fine hearing all that, but I'm turning 22, I moved out a few years ago, have a full time job with great benefits, and am getting married next summer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I told my parents I was pregnant. They yelled at me until I started crying. I'm 31, married, and I have a good paying job. FML
Today, I sat my mom down to tell her I was pregnant, but before I could say anything, she started to lecture me on safe sex. I don't see this ending well. FML
Today, I happily announced to my parents that I'm pregnant. My dad later handed me a printout containing a list of nearby abortion clinics. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Today, I announced my pregnancy to my parents, expecting them to be thrilled. Instead, they were furious. Apparently, being unmarried and on disability means I can't raise a baby. FML
Today, my Mom found out that I've been intimate with one of my best friends in the past. We used protection, it never went anywhere, and we ended it amicably, but she still gave me a huge lecture. Later, she high-fived and congratulated him. FML
Today, I found out I am pregnant. I hooked up with my step-dad not that long ago while my mom was out of town. I'm 30 and he wants to tell my mom my baby is his, and I like the idea of telling her, but also know she won’t take it well. FML
Today, at 18, I finally told my mom I was gay. She spent the rest of the day bringing up my "future wife" at every possible chance she had. FML
Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think it's a little too late for the lecture.

Congrats, I'm no doctor but isn't 22 a little early?

Too early is 14, 22 is fine imo

If you have a stable, good job and are getting married then no.

14 is not too early in fact its the perfect time, if we're living in the middle ages.

And who are you to judge someone's personal decision?

I think 22 is too early to.. I wanna travle the world and be young for plenty more years, and I'm turning 22 soon

Not really, since girls started menstruating later back in the days they would probably be at least fifteen before their first child.

As to the doctor thing,medically 22 is perfect. Your eggs start dying off around 27-29so early to mid 20s is the way to go. However,it's a personal choice. Some people could get married at 18 and immediately have a kid and it would be the right choice for them. There is no "right age" to have a kid(as an adult anyway)

They're very, um, protective of you. It's like I can hear the helicopter...

Just prove to them how great of a mother you will be once you have the baby! Congratulations by the way! :).
