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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Some family members are a special kind of stupid My mother said I didn't care enough about my son because I didn't circumcise him as it wasn't medically necessary and the reason why he is special needs is because I must of forgotten to take my fish oil tablets while pregnant and also my fault for marrying a man who is adopted as you don't know what they have. Despite the fact she knows his bio mum gave his adoptive parents medical history -_-

It's easier for some people to feel angry at a person than to accept not everything can be controlled. Your mum really is a special kind of stupid.

I am pretty sure that is God's will to make sure you stay healthy, tell her that.

You're mother isn't bright. At all. Both me, and my daughter, were born for the very same reason via C-section. We were dying. 25 years and 5 days after my mother delivered me via C-section, I delivered at 26 weeks by C-section. Yeah, we may have had a baby come out through a cut in our guts, but we still gave birth, we both went into labor (and it hurts!), and she got to watch me grow up, and now her and I will be watching my daughter grow from a 2 pound 2 ounce baby into her own person. THAT'S what your mother should be thinking about, not how it's "unnatural" but that she has you and your beautiful boy. I hope she comes to understand that you still gave birth, even though it may be unlikely. Congrats on the baby!

Even if she is Christian, are you really upset and complaining about the fact that an app called FML isn't featuring the reasonable, good type of Christians/religious people? This is F my life, a place for unfortunate stories with shitty people in them, it will feature the crazy Christians much more than the reasonable ones, because the reasonable, nice religious people are not usually involved in FML moments.
