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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I announced my third pregnancy to my parents, thinking they’d be excited. Instead, they gave me 30 days to find a new place, saying they refuse to raise “any more of your children.” 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, 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
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, my father calculated that the only way we can afford to keep the house was if I get pregnant and claim child benefits. My family now won't speak to me because I refuse to do it. I'm 15 years old. FML
Today, my parents are furious and are refusing to let me see my kids. Why? They're raising my kids after I lost them to foster care and I stopped fighting for custody, and just announced my pregnancy with my new boyfriend. FML
Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. 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, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, I got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. FML

I am on the fence without more info. Is the father in the picture/supporting the child? Are you living with them/on your own or are you still living with your parents and there's an implied expectation that they're going to be helping either monetarily or with time. Because I know that disability payments where I am are disgustingly low and don't support a single adult, let alone an adult and a child. I guess it depends whether they're upset because they think this is an unfair situation to bring a child into if there's concerns about cost of living, or they're just assholes who think people with disabilities shouldn't have kids.

If you are still living with your parents, and even more so if you are expecting their assistance then yeah you deserve it.

YDI. If you're unfit to take care of yourself, you shouldn't have a child. It's selfish of you.

I’ve checked multiple times but I still can’t find where it says they can’t take care of themselves?

Yes because families are always correct about everything, why are you so sad? Stop expressing your issues in all the comments, the down votes should be enough of a hint that no one agrees with you

I do agree. It's not like she got on disability After the fact. Oftentimes disability does not pay a whole lot. Add having a kid into that does not look like they're making good decisions. Also it makes a big difference where the op lives. If it's with family that's another issue.

Depends - did you get pregnant on purpose? If not, sounds like you're irresponsible and your family is probably correct.

hopefully the dad is there to support you because you're not raising a baby on disability
