Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I announced my pregnancy to my parents, expecting them to be thrilled. Instead, they were furious. Apparently, being unmarried and on disability means I can't raise a baby. FML
Today, I told my parents I was pregnant. They yelled at me until I started crying. I'm 31, married, and I have a good paying job. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML
Today, my siblings came home for the weekend. At dinner, my dad started complaining at how one of my siblings had gotten fired, one was failing college, and the other was gay. He went on to say I was 17 and already had a bright future. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I happily announced to my parents that I'm pregnant. My dad later handed me a printout containing a list of nearby abortion clinics. FML
Today, I announced my third pregnancy to my parents, thinking they’d be excited. Instead, they gave me 30 days to find a new place, saying they refuse to raise “any more of your children.” FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, my daughter and her boyfriend excitedly told me that after months of trying they are finally pregnant and that I'm going to be a grandmother. This would be great news if they weren't 15. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Today, I excitedly told my best friends I was pregnant. Their responses were, "Ewww, I hate babies", "So we're not getting brunch anymore? That sucks" and "Do you need an abortion? I know a great clinic." Not one of them congratulated me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some people in my family were of the opinion that I should never procreate. They felt really bad when they learned that I actually have a disease which prevents me from having children. The joke was on them.

It is FML's like this one that need a follow up on how the parents reacted when confronted about their double standard.

Parents are people and unfortunately most people are assholes. I voted FYL, but you have plenty to be happy about. Congrats OP! Enjoy your new family =)

1: Congratulations on your pregnancy. 2: Maybe the pregnancy is the only/best thing that they expect from your no good sister.

i thought that too but what they said to op is just nasty and was in no way warranted if they just wanted to big up her sister.

there are no details about your sister here. i take it that she isnt 33 or happily married since they are the things you pointed out but maybe your sister is in a better place for a kid. age and marriage arent the only cornerstones of a good family. your family should not have treated you like that tho.
