Today, I couldn't move without people talking to me about the "Royal Baby". It's like it's actually going to have an effect on my life. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, some old friends came to visit me after I had my first baby a few weeks ago. When the last friend, who has always been rather self-centered, arrived, she immediately announced her own pregnancy and talked of nothing else for the rest of her stay. FML
Today, as usual, I'm receiving constant texts and calls. I'm socially exhausted and just want to be left alone, but everyone I complain to just thinks I’m bragging about my popularity. Including my therapist. FML
Today, it seems like everyone in my family knew about my boyfriend's new engagement, all except me. FML
Today, after a day of anxiety and worry that something bad would happen, I decided to keep my two daughters home from being flower girls at my sister's wedding. Now my sister and entire family is blowing up my phone. Apparently her wedding is my important than a mother worried about her babies. FML
Today, the local gossip was in line behind me at the shop. She saw me buying pregnancy tests. The good news is that I'm not pregnant. The bad news is that she'll definitely have everyone thinking I am. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, I realized that I could have slept all day yesterday and it would've changed nothing. I don't talk to anyone and I don't do anything. My presence or lack of presence in this world means nothing and affects nobody. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I made eye contact with a baby across the room. It smiled at me, so I smiled back. The baby immediately started screaming. Everyone stared at me like I'd just threatened it. FML
Today, I decided to tell my family, including my husband, that I'm pregnant. Their reaction was basically a "meh" before returning to watching the World Cup. FML
Today, I realised that when I was pregnant I had loads of friends, because pregnancy is cute and awesome and empowering, until the baby actually arrived. Then so-called friends don’t want to visit anymore because babies are loud, sticky, poop everywhere, and get in the way of brunch and shopping. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's happening to me too and I'm in America.

I know! I plan to boycott all major forms of news for the next week because I don't want to hear about it. Though they'll probably be talking about the royal baby for the rest of our lives.

I know, they act like nobody has ever had a baby before. Same with that stupid Kardashian crap. I am in America and everyone is freaking out for no reason.

It may, however, affect whether or not you learn when to discuss the "effect" on your life.

Well, lets at least be fair. We finally have a celebrity baby who might actually have a positive effect on people. He might be the figurehead for the country one day.

God, all the Royal shit in the media sickens me.

I know that shit, Sweden is the same: "Did you see the wedding?" "Isn't the baby cute?", just shut the **** up and talk to someone who cares.

Its so annoying! If I hear one more thing I am going to go bananas. God bless the family, but this royal thing is too much.

They are normal people who were born into royalty, its not like they earned it or anything. In America the president has to actually work and win and isn't just born into it. I also do not get why America is so excited this has nothing to do with us at all.

Oh get over it and stop complaining. I've been hearing/seeing a lot about the baby as well, but about 90% of the things I've seen have been people moaning about it. You're just adding to the hype.
