Today, for the second day in a row, I was constantly abused, yelled at, insulted, and berated by my wife for "endangering our child's life." I took her to the doctor for a vaccination and flu shot yesterday. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my one year-old daughter vaccinated. My wife tried to leave me, because she's "never felt more betrayed". FML
Today, I was harrassed, called a bad mom, and had death wished upon me for getting the Covid vaccine. Apparently, I don't deserve to live because I don't want to die from the virus. FML
Today, I got yelled at all day at work, only to come home and get yelled at by my husband. FML
Today, my needle-phobic mother took me to get a shot. She fainted. FML
Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML
Today, my wife screamed and threatened to leave me… again. She does this about once a year, in response to an argument that she feels frustrated by. We have three amazing children and we're mostly happy in between these outbursts. Today she did it in front of our 6 year-old, who is now crying about our family. FML
Today, it was supposed to be my night off from the baby. Instead, my wife said she "couldn't even begin to deal", so she locked herself in the bedroom and I had to watch both my baby and my stepson, who both became hyper-needy the second she shut the door. This is the fifth time in a row. FML
Today, the TV was blaring, the kids were yelling, and my wife was blabbering on in my ear. Overwhelmed, I shouted, "EVERYONE QUIET!" I got a second of blessed silence before my kids started screaming and crying, and my wife threw a tantrum, saying, "I married a psycho!" FML
Today, while trying to give an immunization to a "special" 13-year-old, I got spit on, kicked, almost bitten, and had a chair thrown at me. When it was all over, I flinched when the patient tried to hug me. Her mom called me a "b*tch" and I later found out she wasn't a "special" child. FML
Today, I had a panic attack because my wife yelped at me. What did I say that made her yell? I told her that I had just been diagnosed with a panic disorder that's triggered by people yelling at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bitches be crazy. Seriously. It drives me nuts when parents consider all vaccines to be harmful. There's a reason they need vaccinations to go to school.

If i was married and my wife didn't want her to have vaccinations or flu shot I'd probably ignore her as well. I'd rather my child be safe.

Were you aware of her views on vaccines prior to marrying her or having children because that seems like the kind of discussion that should have taken place before...

@178 really. An immunization does just that, the flu shot gives your immune system the antibodies with which to fight sicknesses. Getting the flu and getting a flu vaccine will do the same thing to the immune system except you don't have to have the flu. I used to have an egg allergy that prevented me from getting the shot and, the flu is pretty awful, good thing I was generally healthy or it could have been life threatening

Yes essentially in it's most basic it is the dead Virus', which primes your immune system. Some presevatives in there to stop fungi forming, adjuvent and stabalizers.

How did you end up marrying such a moron? People who are against vaccines for any reason are uneducated simpletons who shouldn't even be allowed to have children.

Here's my input: I agree with the MMR vaccine, polio vaccine, etc. I do believe that the benefits outweigh the risks in those cases, and from what I can tell, the risk of bad side effects is relatively low. However, I refuse to get flu vaccines. I honestly don't see the point in getting them. The vaccine is developed as a prediction as to what strains are going to be most prominent. They do not protect against all strains, and if the developers are wrong about the strains, the vaccine is pointless. I have taken microbiology, virology, and epidemiology courses before, so that is where my info is coming from. I also refuse to get the Gardasil vaccine. I have personally witnessed a couple of cases with severe side effects, and you can find several stories and videos of girls sharing their stories after receiving the vaccine. Of course, these side effects do not occur in all or even most cases. However, the CDC is actually denying that any of these cases occur or are related to the vaccine, which scares me and sometimes makes me question their integrity. Bottom line: do research before agreeing to anything. And most definitely talk things over with your spouse rather than going behind their back.

Completely agree.

Good for you for protecting your daughter's life. You're a good dad! I think it is best you went ahead and went through with the vaccine. Talking about it with your wife wouldn't have gotten anywhere. You don't need to bend to her wishes if she refuses to compromise on a life-death issue. You did what you could to save your child. I know this sounds dramatic, but illness is not something to eff with, especially if you're a child.
