Today, my mother forwarded me an email my stepdad had sent her because he was annoyed that I left a light on last night. Talk about communication problems. I wonder how I'm going to tell them I'm pregnant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I am pregnant. I hooked up with my step-dad not that long ago while my mom was out of town. I'm 30 and he wants to tell my mom my baby is his, and I like the idea of telling her, but also know she won’t take it well. FML
Today, I had to tell my ex that I'm pregnant with his baby. I sent him a casual "Hey :)" text to try to ease into things. He replied, "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?" and ended up threatening to make my life hell if I don't tell my new boyfriend that the child is his. FML
Today, I sent my mom an email with "Bad news" as the subject. At the end of her reply, she said, "And don't scare me! I thought you were going to tell me you're pregnant!" I AM pregnant, and wanted to surprise her on her birthday. Guess I should get her something less disappointing. FML
Today, my stepmom sat me down and told me that she doesn't think that my dad is my biological father because she hasn't gotten pregnant from him. I don't think she quite understands the concept of being a stepmom. FML
Today, my mother in law accidentally cc'd me on an email she was sending to my husband, telling him that his youth is fleeting and that he should leave me while he still has time. FML
Today, I checked my mom's email to track a package I'm waiting to receive. Instead, I found out my mom canceled the order, and that my parents are getting a divorce and have been fighting via email for weeks. FML
Today, my parents are freaking at me because I just got my report and I failed my first year of college. They told me they have never been more disappointed in me. I have to tell them that I'm also pregnant. FML
Today, I found out my parents are divorcing and my mom is moving out. I'm 11 weeks pregnant. Breaking the news should be fun. FML
Today, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you are "mature enough" to have sex and get pregnant, then you should be "mature enough" to tell them.

Just because someone has sex at 15 or 16 doesn't mean they're a *****. Last I knew, a ***** is promiscuous and has sex with multiple partners. This young lady probably has one partner. When adults have one partner, are they considered ******? No. This isn't about her being a ****, it's about how she made a mistake to not use birth control, or not use it correctly. And this is all IF she is even that age.

Or, you know, her birth control failed. Unless her partner forgot to grab the steel condom this time around, in which case I wouldn't blame him.

why are you calling her a ***** or a ****.people have sex and mistakes happen.if they didnt the world would be a lot emptier place.alot of this internet misogyny seems to me to be as a result of jealously over someone activly enjoying life and the dangers that entails

It's not jealousy over someone enjoying life, it's frustration over someone not taking life seriously. I know a few people that have screwed up kid's lives because they have sex when they aren't ready... or get pregnant too young. I also know PLENTY of smart people that have had multiple sex partners, or ONE sex partner for 10 or 20 years without getting pregnant.

I will bet you anything you like the people you apparently know who's parents screwed up their life in your opinion don't agree with you in saying they should never have had kids in the first place.

113, Have you considered the possibility that it was unplanned, forced sex etc? She could take her life very seriously, & she probably is, considering she's trying to think of a way to explain to her parents that they have a grandchild on the way, and when my mother had me, she was 17, on drugs and drink. However, she stopped doing it, because she realised, that she had a child, and she needed to look after her, and in order to do that, she had to ditch the drink, and the friends who were trying to get her to take another joint. In some cases, having a baby is the one thing that DOES make you mature beyond your years.

I don't understand why everybody's calling you a *****. Mistakes happen, and we don't know how old she is.

Simple... just send them both an email in response to his email: "hey, you think leaving a light on is bad... check this out: I'm pregnant! " Then click "send". Done.

My guess is they won't be surprised I mean your not thoughtful enough to turn off a light at night why would they think you would remember stuff like birth control or condoms

There's such a thing as forgetting to switch your light off; forgetting to use contraption is NOT common. Not caring, in the heat of it all, is one of the biggest problems in unwanted pregnancies. Or maybe, she wanted this baby. You don't know the circumstances, neither do I. We can't judge her on that.
