Today, after telling my mother-in-law about my recent miscarriage, she cheerfully made a cake to celebrate. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister decided to have her baby shower on my birthday. I recently had a miscarriage and she knows this. FML
Today, my mother-in-law had a bitch fit because I had a miscarriage and my husband and I are having a difficult time. It’s her birthday and she said I should, “stop being an attention-hogging drama queen” and that, “shit happens, get over it” She doesn’t see what's wrong with her statements. FML
Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, I bumped into an old school friend. I'd heard she was pregnant so the first thing I did was congratulate her. Not only was she not pregnant, but the reason she managed to get so fat was because of comfort eating due to her miscarriage last month. FML
Today, my husband and I sat our 8 year-old son down and gently explained to him that I had a miscarriage and he won't be having a little brother or sister after all. He responded by dancing around the room and celebrating. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, my mother excitedly jumped up and down, announcing that one of her sweet younger coworkers got engaged. I wished she'd had the same reaction to my engagement when I announced it to her a few days earlier. FML
Today, it was my mother’s birthday. I was on my way to pick up her cake but I got into a car accident and ended up in the emergency room. When I call her to explain what happened, she called me an useless fuck for ruining her birthday by not bringing the cake. She’s yet to ask if I'm okay. FML
Today, a week after my miscarriage, my little sister thought it appropriate to wrap her belt around her neck and scream, "Hey look, it's your baby!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A hard slap on her face is also another way to celebrate.

Mother-in-law or if you rearrange the letters, Woman Hitler. FYL that's terrible.

She must have misheard. A hard slap on the side of the face will usually rectify that.

Why would she celebrate a dead grandbaby? That is beyond screwed up.

Now you know if you ever give birth, to not include that horrid woman in your child's life.

Honestly as one who has personal family experience. Depends on how old you are... If your over 21 then she's a bitch. If your under 18 she's within her rights to be released... If your somewhere in the middle it's a toss up depending on weather or not your married and if you got married bc of the pregnancy...

She is married. I would assume over 18.

Because even someone under eighteen deserves a miscarriage and a disrespectful cake to celebrate, right?

No. Age has nothing to do with it. NOTHING can justify making a cake to celebrate a miscarriage, especially not your daughter-in-law's. This woman is just sick.

I don't care if they're not married and 16. A miscarriage is never something to celebrate. It's a painful and emotionally distressing experience and you sure as hell don't bake a cake to celebrate someone losing their child.

Don't be upset, everyone reacts differently to upsetting information...this just might be the only way she knows how to try and help you through this....

Sorry for your loss. I hope your husband told her exactly where she could shove that cake.

I hope you're ok. I'm sorry for your loss. :(

What the hell is her damn problem? I don't have kids, but I'm sure as anything that a miscarriage is a horrific event for a woman; including her partner. Speak to your husband about what happened and I suggest you never speak to her again. I hope your husband steps up for you. She's a low-life. I'm sorry for your loss OP and that you have to put up with people like that in your family. I hope everything works out.

In her defense she probably thought you won Miss. Carriage of the baby carriage female modelling exhibition. Or she's a bitch. Sincerely sorry for your loss.
