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.

Well rather than going and blowing up on her like 90% of the other posters here id rather know is she a bitch usually? This could just be a super socially awkward attempt at comforting you and saying "we still love you!" "stay strong!" ect ect TLDR version: Context is important.

This has to be the worst FML i've ever read. What kind of heartless human being goes and bakes a cake to celebrate someone's miscarrying a child, especially when that child is to be their grandbaby. I'm sorry for your loss OP :( and i'm sorry you married into a family with a woman like that.

Reading this FML annoyed me so much. I wish you threw the cake on her face and walked out like a boss.

Assuming she really was celebrating, I would never speak to her again. That is just appalling.

Maybe that's her way of comforting you. Some people use food as a way to confront depression.
