Pregnancy, Mother in law and Love: But my grandbabiiiiiiiies

But my grandbabiiiiiiiies

By Anonymous - 23/01/2016 09:21 - Australia - Canberra

Today, after the topic of grandkids came up yet again, my fiancé confessed that we've been having trouble conceiving. Later, I overheard his mum telling him to take my engagement ring back to the store and get a refund, because apparently I'm not worth marrying if I can't give him kids. FML

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 went with my beautiful fiancée to tell her grandmother, who's a bit senile, that we got engaged. Her response, "I know he's very nice, but think about the chubby little ugly children he'll give you." This was followed by a recollection of her ex-boyfriends who would've fathered attractive kids.

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

Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML

Today, while discussing kids, my fiancé told me he has a kid already with his previous fiancé, but he hates kids so much, he left and moved to this country before it was born. He doesn’t even know if it’s a boy or girl, because he simply doesn’t give a toss. Yes, I’m pregnant. FML

Kick the bum out, part 2

Today, my fiancé thinks that the only reason I innocently asked him how soon he wants to have kids after we get married is that he thinks I'm racing to beat a friend or family member. Now I can't even be excited about starting a family with this man without having ulterior motives. FML

Today, after months of my fiancé begging me to have a baby with him, I found out I’m pregnant. He doesn’t want a baby anymore. FML

Oh, she's one of those people who think the sole purpose of marriage or any relationship is to pump out kids. Give me a break.

Would-be grandmas blow everything out of proportion. So rude of her!

To the nihilistic jerks that put YDI, have some respect. Completely unnecessary.

Lol don't think too much of it, @12. The people who vote YDI on this are the people who vote YDI on everything.

Most ppl who hit YDI are a) badge hunters b) mistapped YDI or c) just trolls

Not even married yet and she thinks you should already have kids? I'm a little surprised you're even trying but I'm the type that wants to be married and have fun for a few years before kids. Good luck though!

At least you know which kind of idiot you are dealing with. Hope your man is man enough to side with you no matter what and ignore her, if he's not willing to say her to shut up and **** off. Good luck with your wishes about having a child and with that "mother"-in-law.

Wow shame on her for even thinking that. You might not be the reason why it's hard to conceive, could be your fiancés issue. I hope things work out for you op :)

I mean, it's really not possible for human females to commit parthenogenesis is it?

Oh and that: "take the engagement ring back to the store and get a refund" it's really the icing on the cake that perfectly shows the character. What a miserable way to think on so many levels. Just awful.

It could just be a run of bad luck. I know people who spent years trying and ended up with many kids after about 5 years of no luck

OP you are in for a rough ride with this woman. If he doesn't or didn't stock up for you and your relationship, please rethink this. Mommie Dearest just automatically puts the blame on you, when there could be millions of reasons, her son could be (I hope not) one of them. People getting married will always, for the most part have families putting in their two sense, but when you get married you and your partner become your own family, that comes first before inlaws. Good luck!
