Today, the father of my unborn child told me he isn't sure he'll be able to make it to the birth, since there's no guarantee of when it will happen, so he can't schedule time off. This would be understandable if he actually had a job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, one of my best friends went into labor 14 days early. I'd told my boss previously about this and that I need to be there for my friend as she doesn't really have any family. My boss will not let me leave work to be there. Why? I didn't give enough notice. FML
Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. FML
Today, I found out that, despite working 4 part-time jobs, that I will not qualify for maternity leave by my due date with the mandatory 600 hours. I can't get full-time work and I'm 8 months pregnant now. This'll be fun! FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a father. Too bad I can't tell my wife. FML
Today, at work my boss told me I have been late, under-productive, and using up a lot of sick days. He says my job is on the line. My reason for barely showing up at work: I've been on maternity leave for 6 weeks. FML
Today, my dad said he can't go to my graduation because he has to work. He got fired a month ago. FML
Today, I found out my soon-to-be husband and father of my unborn child is already married to another man. FML
Today, my dad came home roughly 3 hours early. He came back because he was laid off from his job, because there was no work for him on his current shift and they haven't found a replacement shift for him at the job he's currently at. Shouldn't they have figured that out in advance? FML
Today, I'm 9 months pregnant and the father of my child has suddenly decided that the child I've carried for 9 months isn't his, and that it was "too late" to try and fix our relationship. He's the only man who could be the father, he's just finding every excuse to say, "Sorry, but no thank you." FML
Today, I found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML

Why did you let someone like that inside you at all much less unprotected....

Not exactly sure how you expect sympathy from anyone... Children are not exactly rocket science... Using birth control prolly could have saved you from have a dead beat dad for your kid...

that and I don't know any place asshole enough to prevent a man from being there for his child's birth. Most places even offer paternity leave.

That's not even understandable if he DID have a job. Work understands when you're having a BABY.. you're free to go. Good Lord!
