Today, I saw my brother's pregnant girlfriend smoking. Disgusted, I asked him why he didn't just stab her in the uterus and get it over with. He laughed like it was a joke, then cussed because he spilled his cereal. He's more concerned about spilled cereal than having a brain-damaged child. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my brother doesn't have a problem with "keeping it in the family". It's now up to me to explain why our cousin is pregnant with his kid. FML
Today, my brother in law got into a fight with my husband. My pregnant sister was yelling at her husband to stop beating my husband up. When I came into the room, I asked why they were fighting. You'll never guess who the real father of my sister's baby is. FML
Today, my brother's girlfriend dumped him. I overheard my mom tell him "It could be worse. Your brother can't even get a girlfriend". FML
Today, my wife and I have been trying for kids for years and nothing, yet my deadbeat brother just ran out on his third pregnant girlfriend in a row, with no intention of meeting the baby ever. FML
Today, my brother thought jumping out and punching me in the stomach would cure my hiccups. Yeah. Didn't work. FML
Today, in front of my family, my brother's wife announced that she was pregnant with their first child. Everyone joked around and said I was next. Two weeks ago I found out that I'm sterile. FML
Today, I was chatting to my brother on Skype. Out of the blue, and just as I read the punchline to a hilarious joke, he said his girlfriend had been cheating on him. I couldn't stifle my side-splitting laughter, and he's been ignoring my calls since. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my family. My brother insulted her weight so many times she left in tears. Not only does he not understand why what he did was wrong, he’s genuinely livid with me for being upset with him, to the point that he damn near slugged me when I confronted him. FML
Today, I saw my little brother drink from the milk carton, gag, and spit the milk back in. FML
Today, I was scrolling through my phone and saw a post from my nephew's mother, my brother's girlfriend. She has a swollen eye that my brother gave her. I've been telling him for months to get his temper in control, and now he's facing possible charges, and she's utterly traumatized. I wish I could cut off relations. FML

actually the whole smoking during pregnant wont cause brain damage, but other health issues like asthma bronchitis, emphazema, but not brain damage., Alcohol on the other hand been proven to cause many many diferent brain anomolies in the womb and even after birth...

You're right. Shame on her for caring about the health of an unborn baby.

How, exactly, is this FyourLife? It's not your baby, it's not your problem. Millions (yes, you read that right) of women smoke through pregnancy. My wife tried to quit, but couldn't, and ended up smoking through all three of "our" pregnancies. All three kids are fine. Last school year, two of them ended the year with overall B averages and the other had straight A's. My son is on track to be an Eagle Scout, and my two daughters are both working towards their Gold Award in Girl Scouts. How, exactly, would it have been better if I had stabbed my wife in her uterus? Yes, smoking is bad for woman and the un-born baby. Yes, you and your baby are much, much better off if you quit. I won't try to deny that. But given the choice between smoking through a pregnancy and either 1) stabbing the mother in the uterus as you suggest, or 2) having you as my child's Aunt, I'll take the smoking every time.

OP, you sound like a bitch. And a total drama queen. Mind your own friggin business, and quit being so damn melodramatic. I'd swear if I spilled my cereal too. Who wouldn't? Doesn't make anyone an asshole. I'm guessing if your brother took your extremely inappropriate statement as a joke, you're normally like this all the time.

The **** did I say that was inappropriate?

You're overly dramatic. And in no way are u an aunt of the year. So get over yourself

Some doctors actually advise pregnant mothers NOT to quit, depending on how much they smoke. My aunt is a 2-3 pack a day smoker, and was told that trying to quit would put so much stress on her and her unborn baby that it would be safer for her to just cut down.

38- I think you forgot the part about where she told her brother to stab his girlfriend in the uterus.

If the mother was already a smoker before the pregnancy, quitting cold turkey could stress her too much and cause her to miscarry. She should definitely cut down. This is what I had to do. In fact, my dr specifically told me not to quit. Rather to cut down slowly and then try to quit. To reduce the risk of miscarrying.

It's their life and tier child so it's their decision. Geez
