Today, when I excitedly announced to my mother-in-law that I was pregnant, she looked at me with a blank expression and asked me who the father was. She's 45. She's not senile or suffering from dementia, but apparently just suffering from being a chronic bitch. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML
Today, I discovered that my father is getting married. Overjoyed and confused because I didn't know he was dating, I called him up to congratulate him, and ask who she was. Apparently, his soon to be fiancée is my mother-in-law. My wife is not happy. FML
Today, 98 year-old mom with dementia thought she was talking to one of my dead sisters and not my wife, telling her she'd better never tell me who my real father really, that I ruined her marriage. She won't have me ruining her reputation, so her getting pregnant with me from an affair was my fault apparently. None of my siblings ever told me. FML
Today, my husband and I announced at a family get-together that I'm pregnant with our fourth child. My dad sighed, and spent the rest of the evening acting moody, and eventually muttering about how he'd raised a "damned broodmare." FML
Today, my wife and I convened our families for a joint dinner, followed by me breaking the news that my wife is pregnant. My father visibly scoffed, and my grandfather spent the rest of the evening muttering to him about how "breeders should be shot". Wonderful. FML
Today, I visited my grandmother who has dementia. She thought I was my father, and told me that I should never have married my mother, let alone have had children with her. FML
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. 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 overheard my wife telling my mother-in-law I was diagnosed with a learning disability earlier this week. She replied, "I always knew he was a retard. Why did you ever marry that idiot?" All my wife did was mutter "I don't know." FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have told her about it AFTER she had finished rounding up the rest of the Dalmatians, she might have been in a better mood then.

And now we see why the letters of "mother in law" rearranged spell "Hitler woman"

Wait, my mom is forty five and I'm 15.... How old are you?

Seriously do the math. Your mom didn't have you till she was 30. Other women have been known to have kids earlier, especially before women started becoming more career driven. If the MIL had her son at 20 he'd be 25. (this is purely for example, I don't know exactly how old the son is… but this question is a bit annoying. Seeing that it's been asked a few other times as well)

Just because you're 15 doesn't mean everyone who has a mom that is 45 is 15 as well. Seriously, I've read 20 comments like yours.

What is with so many people asking the age of the OP? The mother-in-laws age has NOTHING to do with the OP since they aren't biologically related, it only affects the OP's husband. Even so, if the MILhad her son as early as 18, he'd be about 27 now. She could have even been 27 when he was born then he'd be around 18. Still legal and some people do start families that young.

I swear that if anyone says that the M-I-L asked a good question or they don't get it I'm going to cyber bitch-slap them.

Seriously people.....I married at 17, my oldest daughter married at 18 making me a mother-in-law at 37. When I was 38 I had 3 grandsons, at 41 I have four. It is very easy to be old enough to marry and have a 45 yo mother in law!
