Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I sat our 8 year-old son down and gently explained to him that I had a miscarriage and he won't be having a little brother or sister after all. He responded by dancing around the room and celebrating. FML
Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I buried my 8-year-old son two weeks ago and had my husband serve me divorce papers three days ago. FML
Today, my husband of four years finally told me he has an eight-year-old son. FML
Today, after my 4 year-old was so excited to be a big sister, hugging my belly every chance she got, counting down the days till the due date, my son was born this morning. She took one look at him and declared, “I don’t like him, leave him here, do we have to keep him?” then started crying. FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, I excitedly told my husband that I'm expecting our second child. He ripped up the sonogram and yelled at me to "fucking get rid of it" while jabbing me in the chest. FML
Today, I told my family I’m pregnant again. My boyfriend is now sat outside, crying and getting drunk. My oldest son is looking at apartments for rent because he doesn’t want to be around screaming babies again, and my younger two are crying because they don’t want another sibling either. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML
Today, my husband and I had a huge fight. I have a son from a previous relationship who he loves, but he wants more kids. My son is 9, almost 10, he's so used to being my baby that I can't bring myself to take that from him by having another baby. FML

My sister was very upset when we found out we were getting a younger sister too. It'll get better when he realizes you won't abandon him for the new kid.

Wow. I really hope you're not letting him off lightly for trying to punch you in the stomach, that's scary.

The kid needs discipline.

Sorry OP, but 8 years is a bit long to wait to have another kid. This said, at 8, that sounds like a pretty extreme reaction. Get him to a therapist BEFORE there's any tiny human target

I understand the getting upset part but the punching you in the stomach is pretty scary. Hide the sharp objects and get him some therapy!

Um I would try to include him in some baby activities that involve him praticing to a big brother. Make it sort of like a game so he can not only look at his new sibling as fun but not be afraid he won't get any attention.

You should probably have that child tested for bipolar and schizophrenia. Like right now.

How does any of that indicate schizophrenia? Or bipolar disorder? Obviously something needs to be done about his behaviour/feelings, but there's nothing there to indicate either of those things.

You just ruined his life . I would know I'm the older child out of 3

1. Congratulations. 2. Don't take the hitting lightly, spank him. He needs to get over it

Anyone else reminded of The Omen upon reading this? It's like the kid is hoping his mother will have a miscarriage because he doesn't want a sibling. That's very scary, OP. Get that kid some help or something!
