Today, my mother still refuses to acknowledge my son as her grandson, all because I had a C-section, which she says is unnatural and against God's will. I only had the C-section in the first place for health reasons. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my Dad if it was true that my mother had a C-section at my birth. He replied "Yeah, so technically you weren't even born, you were surgically removed, like a tumor." FML
Today, my husband got a vasectomy. My mother-in-law is extremely upset that he only gave her one grandson. Guess my other son doesn't count. FML
Today, despite my warnings, my mother continues to go see my ex's son and encourage her to get more child support from me. They both say that because I signed the birth certificate, that makes that baby mine. I don't think he is, and I'm currently with someone else, with my first real son on the way. FML
Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML
Today, my father informed me that I was born only because my mom lied about being on birth control. FML
Today, at my strictly Catholic grandmother's funeral, I was made to sit in the row behind the rest of the family, because I was born out of wedlock and wasn't a 'real' member. FML
Today, my 5 year old son asked me to explain how he was born. After I told him I had a C-Section, he went to school and told everyone he was born at sea. I found out when the teacher called me. FML
Today, I got married and my mom refused to be there because my dad, whose guts she hates, was there even though I promised repeatedly that I would keep them apart. I couldn't do the mother-son dance. She keeps insisting that it was a "lapse in judgment." Yeah, like we're really going to be able to have a do-over. FML
Today, my mother-in-law was so rabid to meet her first grandson, she didn’t just nudge me aside to get to the delivery room, she two-hand shoved me in the chest so I flew backwards and down a flight of stairs. I’m now in a neck brace for a hairline crack to my vertebrae and can’t pick up my own son. FML
Today, my daughter told me she never wants to see me again because I had an abortion. She wanted me to have the baby and then give it to her so she could raise it as hers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How dare you be careful with your own life?! That's not gods will! In all seriousness though, do you really want a crazy, over-zealously religious woman like that be near your son? Be thankful, maybe?

Maybe that wasn't an option 2000 years ago. Neither was half the stuff she owns.

Your mother is obviously someone you don't want around your son. Rethink this OP

Oh tell her to f off... maybe God invented c sections to make sure more of his people could be born with less issues

She seems like she might be a fan of the 1600's where everyone lived to the ripe old age of died in childbirth. in all seriousness though, there are documented cases of c-sections dating all the way back to when Jesus walked the Earth and I've never read any religious text, Christian or otherwise, that says c-sections are against any god's will. If anyone has read something along those lines I'd love to know because I'd also love to know who would think God would rather a child grow up without a mother because she died in childbirth when a c-section could of saved her. my child's head and shoulders were too big (she was over 8 pounds and it was my first and only child) and the doctor flat out told me that if I didn't have a c-section that they would probably break my babies collar bone to get her to fit through. If doing so pissed off God then I'll face him during Judgement, but if it meant that my baby wouldn't have to have her first sensation of the real world be a broken bone, then I'd do it over a thousand times, and never change my choice.

There are two types of religious people in this world: those who follow an actual religion and disagree with others on certain topics, and those who are flat out crazy and use the term "religion" to justify their delusions. Unfortunately, you are dealing with the latter. :/

Following that logic, my mother should have left me and my two brothers to the wolves. And all eight of her grandchildren as they were all born by cesarean. Your mom is a nutjob.

My wife and son are both alive, only because a c-section was done. Ignore that ignorance and live your life. You don't need her.

She needs to check her history. Children were born by c-section even in biblical times. Hence the name - Caesarian section. Some people just can't figure it out.
