Today, I asked my mom why she decided to be a parent. She replied, in all seriousness, "Everyone else was doing it." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML

The Pope thinks you're selfish
Today, as part of my job, I had to watch a few 5 year-olds while their parents were busy with my manager. It only confirmed my choice to never have children, and yet my mother still insists I should have one, because once they exist and I love them, I’ll see how silly my choice to not have them is. FML

Today, I asked my mom how much she had set aside for college. She then looked and me as if I were crazy and said "Why the hell would I do anything like that?" FML

As a matter of fact…
Today, my mother told me to my face that if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have had kids. Thanks, Mum. It's not like I asked to be born. FML

Today, in front of the entire family, I yelled at my mom and told her she wasn't a good parent. She responded with, "Well, at least I had friends when I was your age." FML
Forever Alone
Today, I was talking to my mum about how I'd quite like to have kids someday. She responded: "Well, nowadays they let singles adopt as well, don't they?" FML
No Pressure
Under pressure
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

Thanks for nothing
Today, I asked my mother why she had me in the first place, as we never get along. She replied because my father wanted me. So, I called my father to ask him the same question, he said he only wanted to have me to keep my mother around, and that didn't work, so I was a waste. FML

Revelations
Today, I told my mom I was thinking of having a baby. She told me it was a huge mistake because children cost a fortune, make you miserable, and if she'd had her chance again she would have gotten her tubes tied when she was 18 and saved herself the grief. Gee, thanks mom. FML

that's a stupid reason to have a child... is she a good parent?

But it's honest. Mom probably expects OP to have children for the same reason.

But why did she pick her first cousin to be the sperm donor?

no so many women try so hard to be parents cuz they really want a child and some people don't give a damn and have them... half don't even take care of their own children...

well, at least you were planned.

That's how I took it. It's better than what my answer would be if my kids ever ask: Decide? I didn't decide. Birth control is only 98% effective and you're a result of that magical 2%. Now shut up and eat your dinner.

Unplanned children aren't necessarily unwanted children. I wasn't planned, but my parents were very happy when they found out my mom was pregnant.

it's not an FML... FML would be like her mom is her sister or something.

No, I think that's Alabama. Not FML. :D Nice try though. -Fluffy McTiger
