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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Via email would do. That way u don't have to see their faces.

that's strange that your mom would just forward messages to you instead of more conventional methods, like talking. : hope breaking the news to them goes smoother, good luck to you.

wow why the **** are people hating on live with there parents!?! You don't know her story so back off assholes, and for the record I had to move back home after my house burned down. Jesus, you are all quick to judge.

Yes, but presumably if you were pregnant you wouldn't worry too much about your parents' reactions. If the op is at an age where her stepdad can tell her off for leaving a light on, it is reasonable to assume she should possibly not be getting laid.

I'm sorry but if you can remember somthing as simple as a light... then how can you take care of a child!... ydi...

..are you serious? Who the hell HASN'T forgotten something small at some point in their life. It doesn't mean she's not responsible :S children are a lot more important, and therefore easier to remember, than one silly light that she forgot to turn off one time.

If you lose your virginity at 15, you're a ****. If you're not even mature and responsible enough to drive a car, you are not mature and responsible enough to have sex.

@iwadasn, who the hell are you to decide when someone is mature enough to do things? Also, a *****/**** is someone who has had multiple partners in a short amount of time. Having one partner you love doesn't make you a *****, dipshit.
