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

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'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
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 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, 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 got fired for not being mature enough. I just found out I’m pregnant. 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 woke up to my father sobbing his eyes out in the kitchen. Apparently, I screamed, "DON'T TELL THEM I'M PREGNANT!" in my sleep last night. FML
Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe they have grandchild issues? I'm sorry OP, hopefully they'll come around once you deliver the baby.

More like grandparent issues lol. Might not have realized they had grown old yet. OP- they're Prob worried they'll be stuck raising the kid or You still lives at home. Happens to grandparents all the time. Unfit or lazy mothers can be any age. Parents think their job is done only to be stuck with raising another kid late in life that they may no longer be equipped financially physically or emotionally. Could be lousy baby daddy issues if they don't approve him. Or simply thought OP was smarter about birth control. Prove them wrong OP raise the baby on your own and be happy.

My sister's inlaws freaked and had the same reactions,yelling and screaming. They are used to controlling their only son's every move so this was them actually reacting to losing their dictatorship. They did that even with the second and third pregnancy. They never imagined having more than 1 grandchild since they never had more than 1 child.

Hopefully they will come around. Most parents do after some time. Hopefully they will love and spoil their grandchild.

Are they like ultra conservative to the point where they disapprove of you ever having sex?

Please, liberals are more likely to disapprove of their kids successfully breeding.

Congrats on the baby, OP! You sound like you're at a really good place in your life. Don't let them rain on your parade!

the question on my mind is. whats the husband like, is he abusive, does he not work, something like that, because with what you've posted, logic would say they should be happy
