Today, my mother-in-law asked for a copy of my son's death certificate so she could have her week-long island beach holiday classed as bereavement leave. FML

I haven't read all the comments yet but thank you for your condolences. This is indeed the grandmother of my son and no, she didn't take the holiday as a way of grieving - it was purely opportunistic. She wasn't even polite to us at the funeral: her words to me were, "In six months when I get back you'll have forgotten this whole thing ever happened." Very disappointing. Thank you all again. I'll reply again when I get a chance to read some more comments.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Everyone can grieve differently, but that just seems a bit heartless and opportunistic. I'm sorry for your loss OP, I can't imagine how that feels.

Is your mother-in-law George Costanza?

There must have been a Kramer that convinced her.

Oh my god. She is heartless. Distance yourself from her until she comes to her senses. She also needs to show respect for your family and the dead.

I can't quite comprehend why people voted YDI on this...

Most likely people are trying to get the badge for giving so many YDIs.

If ur on an iPhone, ur finger slips & hits the YDI button. I try to balance it out by voting FMY too. I know it doesn't cancel it, but u can't unvote.

I'm right there with #16!! 437 people "accidentally" slipped and hit YDI?? Seems a little far fetched. OP, this is the most messed up FML I've ever seen. Your mother in law deserves to be slapped, punched, kicked, thrown down a flight of stairs, then run over by a car!!! What person IN THEIR RIGHT MIND does something like this?? As the grandparent, she should be sharing in the loss and offering support to her son and daughter in law!! That woman is f-ed up in the head!! Wow!! Just wow. OP, words cannot express the sorrow and sympathy that I feel for you. I cannot imagine how difficult this time is for you, then to experience the heartlessness of someone who should be one of the most supportive people around you. Thinking of you, OP. Backhand the mother in law, she is the one that deserves it!!

#73, I've accidentally hit YDI. It sometimes depends on on how scroll it'll read it like you tapped the screen as well.

I also accidently hit that button. Not all of us have a nice phone and it scrolled when I was picking the button.. Sorry for your loss OP. I did hit the "I agree" button too, so at least it evened out.
