Today, my wife and I have been trying for kids for years and nothing, yet my deadbeat brother just ran out on his third pregnant girlfriend in a row, with no intention of meeting the baby ever. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a year, with no success. My husband's unemployable brother and (still legally married to another man) fiancée announced they are expecting. They have 7 kids between the two of them already. FML
Today, my younger brother, who still lives in our parents' basement and has never held a job in his life, announced that his girlfriend is pregnant with their third child. I'm a college graduate living on my own and I've never even had sex. FML
Today, I learned I’m shooting blanks and can’t have children. My wife’s response was that her brother can be our sperm donor. She has no issue with this. FML
Today, I realized how absolutely shitty my family is when my brother brought home his third girlfriend this week. They all smiled in her face, knowing full well my brother is a cheating asshole. Not to mention, she’s pregnant with his kid. I wasn’t allowed to date til I moved out. FML
Today, despite the fact that we are well off and desperate to be parents, my sister refuses to let us adopt her unborn baby, and intends to “raise him on her own.” We earn twice what she does and have been trying to conceive or adopt for 7 years, and she doesn’t even have a husband. FML
Today, in front of my family, my brother's wife announced that she was pregnant with their first child. Everyone joked around and said I was next. Two weeks ago I found out that I'm sterile. FML
Today, I'm 6 months pregnant with my first child and excited. My brother and his girlfriend announced they're getting married… on my due date. They refuse to change the date. FML
Today, I desperately want a kid with my wife, but unfortunately I'm stuck on the hook for child support. The kid was a mistake, a pregnancy from a relationship that lasted less than two months, and unless I can get my payments reduced there's no way my wife and I can afford a kid of our own. FML
Today, I found out my brother doesn't have a problem with "keeping it in the family". It's now up to me to explain why our cousin is pregnant with his kid. FML
Today, despite the fact that I own my home, car and have a career, I was once again told that I’ve shamed my family by being a single mom. Meanwhile, my brother has four kids with three different women and constantly hits up every family member for money. He gets nothing but just support. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

wonder why your brother doesn't just get himself sterilized. what a terrible person. I guess if you don't warn the next girl, you're enabling his disgusting behavior and can be considered an accomplice. I'm sorry about you and you're wife

Are you a part of your nieces'/nephews' lives? At least you both can be an uncle and aunt to them.

While it's a nice thought, and I agree that men knocking up lots of chicks and being no good deadbeats is wrong...well shit you're right. But somehow that doesn't mean you give up reproductive rights 👿 I worked in a plasma center and tons of guys would brag about all their baby's mamas and weren't supporting a single kid. Yet more and more stupid bitches got knocked up. If the woman is dumb enough, she won't listen to any reason. One guy even bragged about having 17 kids he wasn't taking care of while donating to make $20 for HIMSELF. I wonder how dumb the 17th fool was 🤦♀️

Why don't you get your brother to bang your wife? Obviously, he knows what he's doing.

I feel you. My wife and I having been struggling. My wife’s sister recently went out drinking and had her second kid with a one-night-stand.

You too could adopt your nephew/niece.

i feel your pain. most married couples get pregnant when they stop trying and let nature do its thing or get professional help from a fertility doctor
