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?

Pretty sure it's people like you, if any, that give South Africans a bad name. You have no more information than the fact that a woman got pregnant and you would say such disgusting and poorly written things to her? Your profile even says "Im a lover and I've never said no =) haha if the girls need a booty call? =) wad up =)". Could you be any more of a hypocrite? Wow. How pathetic.

Not to mention he's the author of this FML in which he was talking to his girlfriend about having kids. http://www.fmylife.com/miscellaneous/6992051

no where does it say that this girl does not want her baby. Just because she is mildly worried about telling her parents does not mean that its a bad things that she is pregnant. Every time there is an FML along this nature almost everyone is a judgemental ass. The girl is not automatically a **** because she got pregnant, just because she is pregnant does not mean its an accident. i know couples (over 20yrs old btw) who have been scared shitless about telling their parents for no other reason than the fact that pregnancy is a big deal and a bit scary if its your first one. For all you know this woman could be in a loving relationship, living in her own house with both of them working good jobs and maybe..just maybe this baby was planned and wanted, It says a hell of a lot about the sorry state of this world if we see a pregnancy story as a bad thing. Grow the **** up.

Pretty sure having sex doesn't prevent you from getting ready for college, doing your school work, having a job, going places or dating. It's the age when most people are biologically ready for sex and where a lot of people (probably not you) are emotionally ready for it too, so it's a pretty senseless thing to say really. You sound pretty bitter. Maybe if you just keep your mouth shut when you can't think of anything nice or intelligent to say you'd have a better chance of getting laid yourself? Probably not, but still.

Just because shes pregnant doesnt make her a ****. Why is it that if a guy goes and sleeps with ten girls they throw him a party if its a girl shes they call her a ***** WTF. And maybe because the fact she is pregnant which is a HUGE deal, she doesnt know how shes going to tell them since they dont talk to eachother in the first place, so shes probably stressed out not having her mother to talk to about this situation.

#152 it's probably because generally in high school/college it's easier for girls to have sex than it is for guys. That is, an attractive girl could go up to a guy and simply say "wanna ****" and many guys would say "sure" while if a guy did that he would have a tougher time finding someone who would oblige. I'm not trying to be sexist or anything and I don't think that girls who have sex are automatically ***** btw

FYL OP, I come from a family that isn't so passive-aggressive about communication so I can't understand how your stepfather/mom are such d-bags, but I feel for you. Oh, and the idiots suggesting abortion need to STFU (pro-choice here but she's worryin' about -how to tell them- she's pregnant, she isn't worrying about BEING pregnant, you fuckwits). **** all the socially retarded idiots who think OP is a *****. You assholes don't know if she's married, 17 or 34, living with her parents or just visiting for the weekend. Grow the hell up and stop acting like making BS assumptions you pulled out of your ass makes you cool. You just look like a dick.

Last I heard, SOUTH Africa was still a country in Africa. You're an idiot for being a dick about applepineapple31's comment. And yes it's different there. It's different EVERYWHERE. Why is everyone calling her a ***** anyway? A girl can't have sex without being classified as a ***** yet a man can screw anything that breathes and he isn't a *****? We don't even know the OP's age or even if she is married. So she is a ***** for having sex with her possible husband? Don't pass judgment if you don't know the full story.
