Today, my mum, who always wanted more kids than just me, started crying because I'm not pregnant with her first grandchild yet. I'm 16, and this all started because I got my period and I asked to borrow one of her tampons because I'd ran out of my own. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom noticed that there weren’t any tampons in the trashcan during my usual time of the month, and promptly grounded me. I’m not pregnant, I just skip periods sometimes. FML
Today, I got my first period. My dad bought me a card and had everyone in my family sign it. FML
Today, I just got my first period. My mother has been dead for years and my stepmother genuinely wishes I was dead, so who am I supposed to tell? FML
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, during my boyfriend's family reunion, I started my period but didn't have any tampons. I asked my boyfriend to ask his mom if she had any. I sat on the toilet waiting, then heard him loudly ask his whole family, "Does anybody have a tampon my girlfriend can have?" FML
Today, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML
Today, my mom made a Facebook post about me starting my period and for everyone to be nice to me. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, my mom had to go off on my grandmother because I don’t have kids yet and she, "wants great grand babies before she dies." My grandmother was going to gift me a baby outfit for me to get another hint. I’m 25 and can’t conceive because of health issues. I may never have my own kids. She knows. FML
Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML

Considering your age, I believe this makes her an unfit parent, don't let her near your children if/when you do have them in your own time

Usually parents do everything they can to prevent their teenage daughters from having sex. I guess you’re just lucky! I’m sure your inbox has a lot of intriguing propositions from sincere, good men.

Just don't let her anywhere near your birth control arrangements 😂

Wow, since when does a parent encourage their daughter to get pregnant at 16? Wait until you hit 32 and are in the same boat as me - I'm also an only child and keep getting asked when I'm going to give my parents a grandkid.

I hope you understand that you do not owe your mother grandchildren. Not at 16, not when you're older, not ever. Parenthood is a personal decision between partners and is nobody else's business. I'm disturbed that she expects that of you now.

Parents like this are seriously frustrating. What if you don't want kids? What if you want to travel, or have a demanding career, or play sports, or save your money, or do one of the many things that are exponentially easier without children around? Not having children is absolutely an option, and if your mom wants more, your local child services centre would no doubt be thrilled to have a new foster parent.
