Today, at a family gathering, my aunt asked me when I was planning to have children. I'm only 16, I laughed and said not for a while, definitely not until I get married. My family shook their heads, and ignored me for the rest of the day. Apparently, teenage pregnancy is valued in my family. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML
Today, I was at a family gathering when my aunt asked me if I was seeing anyone special. In a tired and sarcastic tone, I jokingly said, “I’m actually getting married next month!” The room went silent, then some of them cheered. I had to explain I was kidding, but now they’re looking forward to a wedding I didn’t agree to. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML

Please please PLEASE don't listen to them >.< Be a responsible human being first and foremost. What other people think doesn't amount to a grain of sand, especially when they're so clearly wrong.

Serious question: Is your family Mexican?
wingedspiritus 0
Huh? Talk about stereotypes. I'm Mexican, and even though there are cases with teen pregnancy, parents wouldn't expect their child to have children at that age. I know that at least the majority wouldn't. Kthxbai.

i'm 20 now, found out i was pregnant when i was still 19, my family is being very supportive but definately didn't wish it to happen. Props to you for wanting to wait till marriage. I already love my little girl, but there are times when I really wish I would have waited.

Your family is trailer trash. Get away from them before they ruin your life.

You have a pretty ****** up family. Don't listen to them. Waiting until you're married to have kids is not only a smart decision, but just common sense. Don't let them push you into having children before you're ready. Also, it may not be the best idea to seek advice from anyone in your family in the future. Ever.

ur family is f-ed up and should die for thinking like that. since u have some common sense unlike the rest of them, declare emancipation NOW. ur family (not including u) should stop reproducing

Aww. That sucks, I feel for you. just ignore them and be responsible. Being a teen mother is hard work. Also I wouldn't blame your family maybe because they are from another country or have different traditions and a lifestyle, but i wouldnt consider for you to listen to them. Wait till your ready to have a child, like you said maybe after marriage. But if they continue to put you down about the fact that your not going to have a child anytime soon talk to them and tell them what you think about it so they understand what you feel about it.
