Today, my daughter-in-law taught my 4-year-old grandson to burst into tears and yell, "Am I not good enough for you?" whenever I ask her if she's going to have any more children. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my awful future daughter-in-law went off on me and said that I'm just jealous that she's marrying my son and I'm not. Furious, I told my husband, expecting him to side with me, but all he said was, "Well… are you?" FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML
Today, I had my husband’s family over. Our adopted 4 year-old daughter drew a cute card and gave it to me saying, "Happy Mother’s Day mommy! I love you." My mother-in-law scoffed, "She’s infertile and not even your real mom, but ok." Now our daughter won’t stop asking all sorts of questions. FML
Today, my mother-in-law insisted we go to a baby clothing store. When I reminded her that I don’t want children, she sat on the floor, crying, kicking and screaming. She then said I was denying her grandchildren because I hate her. Well, I didn’t… FML
Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML
Today, I had to give my four year-old daughter some tough love, which I hate doing. When she ran away crying, my son, her twin brother, looked at me and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself." FML
Today, my three-year-old told me he hates me cause I’m mean because I wouldn’t give him another cupcake. Now he is calling his grandma his new mommy. FML
Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML
Today, my 2-year-old daughter overheard my wife and I arguing and fixated on one particular insult my wife threw at me. Now my daughter won't stop saying "Daddy a numbnuts", always with a big smile on her face. FML
Today, my 4 year-old daughter got royally annoyed at my uncle who won't stop surprise tickling her by poking her waist. When he went for another, she punched him square on the nose, making him a laughing stock. Not accepting that he got owned, he started preaching about child discipline to me. FML

My Grandma does that to my mom every time because she hadn't had a boy just my sister and I. She claims my dad is going to be unhappy until he has a boy, and dad says he doesn't want another kid that at 52 he is too old for newborns...... every time we visit her she says the same thing xD

I'm confused... Did you think this FML is funny?

Maybe they're asking out of curiosity. Did that ever enter any of your judgmental minds? From what I'm reading there is no pressuring going on.

Curiosity is asking once and dropping it. Op implied that the question has been asked a lot. It sounds like most of us who are cheering her dil on are ones who have been in that very same spot. We understand op loves her grand baby and is excited for more but those of us who have been pressured or asked constantly also know how hurtful that question can quickly become. All too long it's been normal for young girls to be asked by too many people that question. I think some are just beyond sick of it.

Deserved... If she doesn't want more kids, lay off.

Bugger me, no wonder mother in law jokes are so popular. OP, you deserved that n more, reminds me of my lovely MIL telling me that my clock is ticking n i need to hurry up n have kids after getting out of hospital after miscarrying at 18 weeks. Yeah, MIL's suck arse and you should be grateful for the grandkid u do have. I dont think i can accurately convey the disgust i have for the OP.
