At least someone's happy…

By reckless182 - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to tell my 10 year-old son that his father and I are getting a divorce. His reply? "Yes! I call living with dad!" FML

You poor soul :(. But really, women have an advantage on winning the kids over. American court system ftw.

Ouch. This one is pretty rough. I kinda feel bad for adding this to "my favorites". I guess I like to favor other people's problems.

How is that an advantage? It just means your court system is flawed and biased in favour of women. That's not an equal society.

Are you kidding me? I would live with my dad if I had a choice. I'm a girl and hate my mom.

How is this harsh? Clearly, OP is a bitch and BOTH family members are going to be glad to be rid of her!

Well, at least he's not completely devastated. Don't take it too personally, though, since boys often would prefer to live with their dads if they could only have one parent.

Should we be expecting an FML from him soon about his dad rejecting him after his parents divorce and him calling living with him thus making it awkward if he lived with you?... Although he is 12 but hey, you never know. FYL tho.
