Today, my 55 year-old mother faked a pregnancy because she was jealous of all the attention I've been getting since I had my twin boys. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that my best friend has been telling everyone at our workplace that I'm faking my pregnancy for attention. She was at every single one of my ultrasounds. FML
Today, my crazed and very hormonal pregnant mother told me that I should get pregnant too, so that we can be "preggo buddies." I'm 15. FML
Today, my mother is so overdramatic that her response to finding out I lost a friend's book was that I should fake my own death rather than fess up. FML
Today, my mom accused me of being pregnant. She wouldn't believe me when I told her I'm a virgin, and she challenged me to take a pregnancy test. It came back with a false positive. FML
Today, I found out my mom pretended to be me and had AIM conversations with my boyfriend. FML
Today, we found out my mother-in-law faked her terminal cancer diagnosis to guilt us into getting pregnant, so she could meet her first grand baby “before it's too late.” In no way can we afford this baby, we are already poor, so this will ruin us financially, yet she’s perfectly healthy. FML
Today, my mother got heartburn. She claimed she only gets heartburn when she is near a pregnant woman. She threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't take a pregnancy test, despite there being no way I was pregnant. Turns out, I am pregnant, and my mother's ego has never been bigger. FML
Today, I mentioned to my mum that one of my friends is pregnant. She decided I was lying, that I'm the one who's actually pregnant, and that I'm going to get checked out by a doctor. FML
Today, my mother topped someone's story of their child's problems by saying I'm on drugs. This resulted in people showing up to stage an intervention for me. She made the whole thing up and I've never used drugs, but no one believes me. FML
Today, my mother hacked my Facebook and broke up with my boyfriend and pretended to be me. She told him if he ever talks to me again, she'll call the cops. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I faked a pregnancy once too when I got jealous of my wife. For some reason she never believed me, something about me not having the "proper internal plumbing to get pregnant" or some mumbo jumbo

It's kinda sick when parents feel in competition of their own children. Clearly these are people who should not be parents in the first place. Congrats on the babies OP. Try not to mind your mother, she just embarrassed herself.

She could always get attention by being the lovable grandmother. Instead she decided to pull an immature stunt that is likely not even within her capabilities at that age? At 55 most women have already gone through menopause. Did anyone honestly believe her? I would say FYL OP, but you have two new twins so I think that point would be moot :) congrats on the babies!

Seems like a very transparent plan, she's too old to get pregnant...

Your mother didn't get enough attention as a child.

If I got pregnant at 55 I would crawl into a fetal positing under my bed and cry. That is just too old to be a mom of a newborn!

She sounds like an attention seeking bitch so don't let her see her grandchildren until she apologizes.

Did she actually go into a biological fake pregnancy, or did she just say she was pregnant and act like a pregnant woman?
