Today, I told my dad I'm pregnant. His response? "It's only a phase, you'll get over it." FML

Most people get over that phase in about 9 months. Good luck to you!

Say, "Yeah, I know, and when I do, I'm going to hit you up for money and babysitting. Re-learn how to change a diaper, old man!"

Thats an interesting answer! At least he wasn't mad.

OP is probably an adult and married so there wouldn't be a reason to be mad. And even of she wasn't an adult, this wouldn't be the reaction.

Sounds like he wasn't even listening to you.

More like an 18 year phase minimum.

I'm sorry, but how the hell is pregnancy an 18 year phase? Being pregnant and taking care of a child are two different acts altogether.

Because the kid will still be there until it hopefully moves out at 18... 18 year phase.

pregnancy is one phase, then birth, then raising. related, but different. One could also avoid the last through putting up for adoption, or avoid the last two and shorten the first with another method.

when you have the baby you Will be over it and be a mom good luck

As soon as the "pregnancy phase" is over, hopefully he can get through the grandfather phase himself.

I think you dad mistook "pregnant" for "lesbian"...

That's actually really insulting, #34.

Well 36 I could where 34 didn't mean it in a disrespectful way. It's more of "no shit Sherlock." Kind of moment.
