Today, my husband wants me to apologize for getting angry when his father told me I'm getting so fat that I look like a whale. I'm not fat, I'm just 8 months pregnant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my wife from work to check in on her because she's eight months pregnant. She didn't answer. Instead she showed up at my work hysterically crying and screaming, "You don't love me because I'm a fat whale!" She then knocked everything off my desk. FML
Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML
Today, I am six months pregnant and have been lactating. When I noticed this and pointed it out to my husband, I jokingly stated that I felt like a cow. He then replied. "Oh, you're not a cow. At most you're just a fat pig." He still has no clue why I'm upset. FML
Today, I was walking through the mall with my husband. We came across a guy who was selling some weight loss pills. He tried to sell me some and I kindly declined. He told me not to deny my weight problems. Thanks. I'm 7 months pregnant. FML
Today, I was proudly telling my husband that I only gained 8 lbs throughout the pregnancy thus far. I usually obsess over my weight, so it was a great accomplishment for me. He then turned and pinched my arms, saying, "Well, looks like all the fat migrated to your arms." FML
Today, at school, one of my students confidently told me that I "wasn't hiding my baby bump very well anymore." I'm not pregnant. Just fat, apparently. FML
Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she could include mashed potatoes and gravy with dinner. She then went on to yell at me about my "unhealthy eating habits" and how I've "gained a lot of weight in the past few months". I'm pregnant. FML
Today, after making several comments about how I didn't exactly look thin, my boyfriend said, "Well, at least we know you'll look good pregnant." FML
Today, I was carrying some bags out of a store, and my shirt had scooted up a little. I had no free hands, so I ignored it. A woman stopped me to tell me that bare midriffs are only attractive on skinny girls, "not fat ones." I'm 6 months pregnant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did your husband not talk to his father in the last 8 months, because being pregnant is a pretty big thing you usually bring up in conversation?

How dumb is yr father in law? Whats his IQ?
hacksaw246 24
I don't think it's his IQ in question just that he's a jackass.
teapotrevolt 27
#2 What's* your* IQ with typing skills like that?
jake_braves 25
#2, do you need a dictionary? It'd help you spell. I'll give it to you for your birthday.
Eliseopwns 22
Altough #2, may not be too smart themselves, bagging on him and being dicks ourselves doesn't help.

Ouch, sorry OP

Ouch for him-- sit on him, OP!!

Men are insensitive. Don't take it to heart, have your beautiful baby and get your figure back!

Not all are. Don't be so general...

teresa96706 29
@19 OP might get loose too. I don't mean to offend OP, just staying in context with #6
Aimeejasmine 15
#45 vaginas are a muscle dipshit they stretch and retract, the don't get 'loose'... Have you ever even come into contact with one
sietseld 13
Um, actually they do stretch out from childbirth and never quite go back to their original size. Trust me on this one.
tdawg91 17
Actually they can go back their original size, trust me

Wear your pregnancy with pride. Tell your father n law to kiss it where the sun don't shine. Congrats on your pregnancy, new life is a beautiful thing.
teentee401 37
Indeed, it's an underrated insult.
morganmck 15
"Kissing it where the sun don't shine" is probably what made her "fat" to begin with.

Tell your father in law that he needs to pay attention and stop being a jackass.
chosha_fml 27
I'm sure he knows she's pregnant. He's just being insensitive.
sietseld 13
Yeah, my MIL has no problem telling pregnant ladies to their face that they look fat, huge, puffy, etc.

Although it is not your fault, but you should apologize to you father-in-law as he is older than you. It will also lead to a successful relationship of you with your husband!
Kitty_Kat44 31
No she should not apologize for him calling her a whale. He should be the one apologizing. Age doesn't matter. That was a mean thing to say.

Your stupid

apologise for what??
warped_executive 16
You're *
muarif 19
Well, because her father-in-law will then realize his mistake and get shameful. Then he'll apologize (hopefully).
Scryll 17
Sorry that's not how assholes work
swanheart 35
How will apologising make the father- in-law realise his mistake? Surely it will confirm to him that he was right?
Lexipants 21
The 16th century called; they'd like their opinions back.
JustinJK 21
This is how middle eastern people think. I'm close friends with someone from Pakistan and parents are never wrong even when they are, lol. it's frustrating, but that's just how it is. He gets mad at me when I call my parents names or tells me to forgive them when I get into fights with them.
Im2Shy 16
People only apologize if they've done something wrong. Was she wrong for getting pregnant from her husband? I highly doubt it. Respect isn't freely given, just because he's older doesn't mean she should apologize. He was rude and he needs to be sorry for his words. There's no way op should say anything apologetic to her father in law.
muarif 19
That's right, the people of East, specially from Pakistan, prefer to give maximum respect to our elders. Some even say too much, but we are that way! :) It results in elders giving respect to the young ones too!
JustinJK 21
Yeah, maurif, he and I never agree on this haha. but I understand where you're coming from
muarif 19
Lol, am glad you do. Many of these Western people don't xD And you might want to listen to him, parents do deserve our respect, no matter what :)
JustinJK 21
Haha. My biological mother is crazy. I haven't talked to her for nearly 5 years. sometimes they're not deserving of respect. but I won't get into that. it's just not as black and white as that.
muarif 19
It's your personal life and choices bro, but you gotta remember how crazy you used to be as a child. And she still raised you. :)
MandieL 27
If my parents abuse me, emotionally or physically, do I still show them respect? Since it's a "no matter what" situation?
TripleATeam 13
#73, #70 said probably said biological mother for a reason.
Maycontainnuts 17
Age doesn't matter when it comes to respect. And maybe op's husband should side with her to lead to a better relationship with his wife!
gintwinsmoore 20
#11 what kind of logic is this you're using???
Queen_of_Night 20
#73- Being angry over an insult is not being disrespectful to an elder. It was disrespectful of the father-in-law to insult her in the first place, especially since she is very far along in her pregnancy. She is carrying his progeny and name, something I remind you that he never had to do. If he deserves respect simply becasue he is old then she deserves respect for being the mother of his grandchild. I realize the Middle East has different values but saying that she should apologize to shame him doesn't really work.
gman422011 4
Wow. ..did you want her to wash the floor and be pulled around by her hair too? That is really really bad advice.
sietseld 13
Showing respect is one thing...but is she supposed to pretend to gleefully enjoy being called fat in order to preserve his feelings?
Nicsb 16
Sorry, but the "respect your elders just because they're your elders" thing is bullshit. People shouldn't get a special social standing just for making it to adulthood.
CODplayer4lyfe 24
Congrats on the baby OP! Too bad you'll carry around a lot of baby weight afterwards. But good luck, and hopefully your in law will understand in a month when he's a grandfather :P
