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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

America has their own issues to worry about. No one there gives a shit about the royal baby. It has nothing to do with them so wtf.

I don't see what's so horrible to be interested about the baby. With all the chaos happening in the world right now, it's nice to step back and enjoy these happy moments.

The royal baby is important and it will have an effect on your life! He is third in line for the throne of England!

The only time's I've heard about the royal baby are when people complain that others are talking about it too much. Trust me, the complaining is more annoying.

What's the big deal? It's just another baby being born. Not affecting your life.

It will effect you when you're paying taxes all your life to fund the royals

Although I'm not madly interested in talking about it I agree with the other commenters who said the complaining is more annoying. I think they should make birthday cards declaring "I don't care that you were born" as it's clearly a sentiment many people share. They could be handed out at birthday parties in restaurants.

I feel bad for Kate, going through two rough pregnancies then having paparazzi tracking her every move. You'd think they'd back off after they caused Diana's death.
