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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Congrats on the new baby and I hope you and your husband live a happy life. Hopefully away from Mom and Dad.

You and your soon-to-be-husband are capable of supporting yourselves. **** what she thinks!

Doesn't matter what age you are, the lecture after the fact just isn't helpful or productive at that point.

Sooooo why is this a FML then?

Beeeecause the lecture that she's getting is really quite pointless

You're a ******* prick you know that? Calling someone's child a bastard? You're full of hate and I hope you rot in hell.

Maybe they gave the lecture because umm you're only 22???? You I'm JUST got out of high school??

22 isn't as young as many people think. If you're stable, having a child at that age is totally fine.

If you just got out of high school at 22 you're doing something wrong. Either way, she has a job and a fiance. I'm sure she's ready.

My mom had both of her children and a house at 23. I'm not saying everyone will be there or should be there,but people shouldn't be incapable of experiencing adult life just because they are "in their early 20s"

Most people have been out of high school for nearly 5 years by the age of 22. So I don't see that as "just" out of high school..

I have parents just like that. That was very insensitive of your mother. If you are happy then she should be happy for you. Congratulations on your pregnancy as well as your engagement and good luck with your future adventures.
