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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Someone wants to be an only child. It'll get better, I hope. My niece was extremely upset to find out she was going to have a brother and not a sister. Told my sister she would not touch the baby or play with him. She eventually got over it, and was obsessed by the time he was born.

Don't worry, when I was two, I walked over my baby brother. Literally walked over him. Your son can't be worse. :)

My parents once told me that when they broke the news, I just went "Oh. Okay." And kept talking about my day at school.

My older sister was pretty upset, too. Unless your son is developing psychopathic tendencies, I wouldn't worry. He'll get over it. Watch out for the punching thing until then, though.

This is why I don't like kids

Can we say "pick yourself up off the floor" slap. Seriously?! What kid reacts that way? All the kids I've known have never acted in such a destructive manner.

my 3 yr old loves the idea of having a sister but doesn't want a brother cause she thinks he'll mess with her stuff. she's been super clingy as well and when she hugs me she headbutts me. i don't think it's intentional headbutting but i figure when the baby's big enough for the kicks to be felt on the outside she's gonna get quite a few kicks in the head cause of that.
