Today, nine years on, my dad still hates my husband for "ruining" my life by getting me pregnant in my late twenties. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother came into my workplace to wail on me for "ruining our family's reputation" because I got a girl pregnant. I've been married to the "girl" for 8 years. FML
Today, my dad told me quite bluntly that, while he loved me, he never planned to have me. My mom baby-trapped him by sabotaging their birth control methods, and my existence ruined his life irrevocably and caused the functional alcoholism he has suffered with for 40 years. FML
Today, despite 18 years of marriage and two kids together, my father-in-law still insists my wife will one day grow up, realise I was the result of some rebellious phase she’s going through, divorce me and marry a decent boy from her hometown. FML
Today, I'm 9 months pregnant and the father of my child has suddenly decided that the child I've carried for 9 months isn't his, and that it was "too late" to try and fix our relationship. He's the only man who could be the father, he's just finding every excuse to say, "Sorry, but no thank you." FML
Today, my dad's new wife, who is two years younger than me (I'm 24) and hates that I'm a lesbian, threw a fit when I told her that I would never call her Mom. My dad took her side. I don't live with them but still… FML
Today, I realized my dad was right about everything: the hot guy who was attractive because my dad hated him so much really was a scumbag. I found out after he got me pregnant, vanished, and then learned that he also got my sister and cousin pregnant. FML
Today, I'm 29 years-old, yet my dad still thinks he can be the stereotypical overprotective dad of a teenage daughter who tries to scare off her boyfriends. If it wasn't for my mom who defends me, I would go no contact with him. FML
Today, I've hated being a parent ever since I was baby-trapped at 17, but I stuck through it and never let my son suspect how I really felt, and we have a great relationship now he’s an adult. Well he just moved out yesterday, and today my wife told me she’s pregnant. Here we fucking go again. FML
Today, I realized that my husband's family hates me for something I did 10 years ago. When I was 18. I’m so done apologizing for it. My daughter does not deserve to see her mother treated like this. FML
Today, on my wife's and my 30th wedding anniversary, my dad once again told me the "honeymoon phase" won't last and soon we'll begin hating each other, and fighting all the time. Dad, it's been thirty fucking years and we're still very in love. Just admit you and mom had a shitty relationship and leave us alone. FML

I think he's just trying to find an excuse to hate on your husband. A lot of dads get emotional when their little girls are taken by a man

That sucks. Stand up to your dad and just say "deal with it. It's my life, not yours."

What? When did he have you?

Irrelevant.

no not irelivent if he had her in his late 20s then he should not be mad

@21 I guess I can see where you're coming from, but whether or not OP's dad had her when he was in his 20s... he still has absolutely no reason to be mad about his married adult daughter having a child; he should be a proud grandfather! So anyway, yeah, #1 was still kind of irrelevant.

He's probably the type of dad who didn't want his daughter to even start dating until she was thirty.

My dad was very overprotective too when my sister got married. The best thing to do is to show him you're an adult and can make you're own decisions.

I hope that the kid doesn't find that out.

Hopefully your kid isn't aware that you "ruined your life", by your dad's standards.

He's probably still having trouble accepting you aren't his little girl anymore. Perhaps you should have a chat with him.

And at what age did he ruin your mothers life?
Brandi_Faith 34
Seriously. Being in your late 20's is a perfectly normal age to have kids. When was he expecting you to have them?

Probably never since clearly the thought of his married adult daughter having sex is too much for him.

Some people can just hold a useless grudge forever

What a charming grandpa he must make.

So am I to assume he hates his grandchild? Jesus that's ridiculous.
