Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I discovered that my wife named our kids after her former lovers. We have two sons and a daughter. FML
Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML
Today, my father-in-law announced the name of his new son, my husband's half-brother. The first name and last name is the same as our son, who I gave birth to 4 months ago. FML
Today, I heard my daughter-in-law refer to her twin daughters, my precious twin grandbabies, as “the good one” and “the shit stain”. FML
Today, after my wife gave birth to another of our daughters, she announced that this was the last one. When I reminded her I still needed a son to carry on my name, she replied, "Well, you've got four girls. You want a boy? Birth him yourself!" FML
Today, I went to my first ultrasound appointment. The daughter I was hoping for is actually going to be boy triplets. FML
Today, I came home to my wife crying. She had mixed up our newborn twin girls and couldn't tell which was which. I looked at the girls. Neither could I. FML
Today, I found out that my 6-year-old son was named after my wife's "Favorite Uncle" because he might also be the father. FML
Today, I announced my fourth pregnancy, this time with twins. I heard my mother mutter, “Finally two kids from the same dad.” FML
Today, my partner convinced both of our little brothers that we are naming our son Obi-Wan. They now won't stop rubbing my belly and quoting Star Wars. This is going to be one long Christmas. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Rather name my kid after a hobbit than after an idiot from Twilight.

As long as they do not have oversized hairy feet I would not worry too much.

How is that an FML? That's ******* amazing! You should be proud! You need to culture yourself in the Lord of the Rings. I love LOTR! Now I'm gonna steal her idea and use names from LOTR or The Hobbit for my kids! How can you now be proud? They're amazing movies and her children are blessed to have such beautiful and important names.

What are you? 12? Can you imagine the impact of these stupid names on their personal and professional life? I am a huge fan of Harry Potter but I'm not gonna name my kids Nymphadora or Severus...

That's how we roll in the Shire - Leonard, Big Bang Theory.

Hey at least they weren't named after the Proudfeet. Or Smeagol or Deagol. They could have been named Bilbo or Frodo. Meriadoc and Perigrin have other nicknames. I just hope the boys are huge trouble makers who grow up to have a love of ale, long leaf tobacco, and fireworks

At least she didn't get a name off of a peanut butter commercial like my Dad did. He named my brother Skippy after that one PB commercial with the skateboard. I actually think my brother would of preferred being called a name from the Hobbits than the Peanut Butter commercial.
