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.

You selfish bastard you're supposed to go through with a natural birth anyways so you can risk the well being of your child and end up with a ****** that looks like a head of cauliflower! Sarcasm aside, it genuinely sucks that your grandma can't acknowledge your child based on nonsensical religious dogma.

Tell her that she's not actually your mother, because it's against God's will to be a **** to your own kin.

Tell her that if she is not willing to recognize her relationship with your son that you aren't going to recognize her as your mother.

THAT IS ****** UP! Gods will? God didnt say C-Secrion doesn't make u a mother. Its true in the bible it speaks of natural birth BUT it does not say C-Section is a sin, in fact it does NOT even mention it at all. And btw having a baby C-Section is basically the same as natural birth. And no I do not mean of course in the literal way. I mean that C-Section is just as motherly as natural birth. Even doctors and pastors say so ffs tell ur mom to take a damn chill pill and to ACTUALLY listen to God and not judge under her own flesh. Sorry I just hate ppl who use God in stuff like that.

well, as religious as I could be, that's really unreasonable reason of your mom, this saying without disrespecting your Mom, but, seriously.
