Today, my husband and I recently decided not to have kids, because neither of us like children. Learning this, my dad wrote me out of his will and my mother swore on the Bible in church that she’s never going to speak to me again until I obey God's word and start multiplying. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, I discovered that my deceased mother, God rot her festering soul, wrote me and only me out of her will. All my other siblings are wealthy; I’m the only one in financial trouble after my divorce. And why did mom hate me so much? Because I’m divorced and God says divorce is bad. FML
Today, I’m devastated that I had to completely sever all ties with my mother. She’s a hyper religious zealot who’s gone as far as to threaten to kidnap my children in order to get them baptized after I refused to raise them in her archaic, abusive, oppressive cult-like “church”. FML
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, my mom shoved a document for me to sign. It's pretty much my will, leaving everything to her boyfriend/fiancé's 11 year-old son, who is a bratty hell spawn of Satan. Before I could say anything, she said not to bother leaving anything to my adopted daughter, because she said if I die, she's going with me. FML
Today, my mom is threatening to disinherit me because I won’t have a baby. I have three siblings who between them have seven kids for her to obsess over, yet she calls at least once a week and always tries to convince me to get pregnant. Fuck off mom. FML
Today, according to my mom, she didn’t make the selfless decision to have me just for me to grow up and make the completely selfish decision not to marry my long term partner, nor to give her any grandkids. FML
Today, my dad sat me and my sister down and give us a "talk". More like an angry irrational rant. He forbade us from being gay, marrying a Muslim or a black person, demanded kids from both of us, and threatened to disown us if we didn't. Where's my free will? FML
Today, my mom told me that I will never see my siblings again because I refused to attend her wedding to another woman. FML
Today, my mother-in-law said: "People who don't have kids are children of the devil." I'm infertile, she knows this. FML

Time to get some new parents. I'd ghost them. it's their loss. Or if you want you can lie and say you are infertile.

It's totally understandable. Most people find that parenting children is very difficult and demands sacrifice, but being a grandparent is pure joy. You're screwing them out of the good part and you are just paying the consequences.

Buhahahah! Stick to your guns! Children are not the be all and end all, so many unloved and neglected kids out there, so many little ***** cos the parents couldn’t be bothered raising decent little humans. I applaud you OP, you are a light in the darkness.

I am Child free, and my fiancé and I have medical reasons that if we pass onto the kids... we aren't having our own kids, we would be adopting. And we aren't at a stage where we want kids in the mix. My mom is ok with my choice as long as it was my choice and not just his, the potential mother in law wanted to name our kids, and is kinda upset she is having grandpuppies...

Ha! Do you need help showing her how stupid and condescending her “Bible” is? I’m a pastor’s kid

Sounds like a win.

I hope those people and their community don’t call themselves Christians.
