Today, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML
Today, I got my first period. My dad bought me a card and had everyone in my family sign it. FML
Today, during a family reunion, my 89 year-old grandma stood up and drunkenly made a speech about how ashamed I should be of myself for still being single. She then passed out at the table. Half my family got up to help her, the other half whispered in agreement. FML
Today, I was at a family gathering when my aunt drunkenly confessed that she had once dated my dad in high school. Everyone laughed, thinking it was a joke. I didn’t laugh. I just stared at her for 10 minutes, processing how our family tree had now become a circle. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. 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, I woke up to my father sobbing his eyes out in the kitchen. Apparently, I screamed, "DON'T TELL THEM I'M PREGNANT!" in my sleep last night. FML
Today, my mum, who always wanted more kids than just me, started crying because I'm not pregnant with her first grandchild yet. I'm 16, and this all started because I got my period and I asked to borrow one of her tampons because I'd ran out of my own. FML
Today, my brother came out to our family as being gay. My mother starting crying because she "wanted grandchildren." I told her that I was planning on having children. She started crying harder. FML
Today, I found my daughter sobbing and trying to stick a wad of gauze to her vagina. She was having her first period. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it's an exciting time in your life! Your grandma cried because you are growing up! this should have been something you had the chance to share with your grandmother though! Definitely not something your dad should be announcing!

Sooo true. But Tamil Hindus actually celebrate it with this HUUUGE party and they invite everyone they know! Happened to me when I was younger, even...

everytime someone in my family start their period someone tells the entire family. plus I think women in the family fond of exciting to tell cause getting your period means your a woman.

#52 is right. it's still awkward though with people knowing the fact that you're starting your cycles and maturity.

Your dad has no respect for your privacy, does he? I bet your grandma is just jealous because she has already hit menopause.
hellokat1 0
Or she's just proud? Congrats Op, welcome to years and years of bloating, cramps and everything else that comes with menstruation.
A7X_LoVeee 10
Jealous of OP having her period? Yeah, back pain and cramps are definitely a reason to get jealous!
WOGBRO 6
I know I am a boy but I have heard that it is really bad. So It's not something to be jealous of.AFX_lovee is totally right.
Iamaninchworm 0
No it isn't THAT bad unless your unlucky and get craps, back pain etc. It's just something all those noobs end up dealing with for 35 or so years.

101- Unless you've experienced having your period through some medical phenomenon, you have no idea how it feels.
DawneciaDropkick 0
i'm one of the lucky girls that have never experienced the cramps or even bloating, so i never really get why so many other girls complain about them to the extent that they do :/
EatUp 0
101 - Why the hell are you saying periods don't hurt? You're a guy and unless you've had a sex change I don't know how you could possibly know what girls go through with their periods. I'm a guy and I've never heard a single girl tell me her periods no big deal. in fact they've all told me it's horrible. My gf goes through hell every month dealing with cramps, back pain, etc.
aissie 2
101 - Would you like me to kick you in the stomach repeatedly so that you know how my cramps feel? I'll gladly do that for free, Jackass.
SammyS2012 21
I have a pretty high tolerance for pain because I got back surgery 4 years ago when I was 13 and have to deal with back pAin from it... And I still cry at least the first day I get it every month from the pain. I also throw up from it so that doesn't really help. My boyfriend usually has to basically babysit me while i have my period because I'm so lethargic, sick, and in too much pain to even know what's going on.
