Today, I was woken up at 3:00 am to the sound of a tape recording of a baby crying, loudly. This has been going on for 3 nights, non stop. Why? because I brought up the subject of having a baby with my wife. Clearly, you can see where she stands. FML

Today, at 2:30am, I heard my baby crying on the monitor. As I got out of bed, she stopped crying and started laughing. There's nobody else in the house. FML

Quiet

Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML

Today, my newborn daughter has kept me up all day and all night for the past few days. Usually my husband sleeps. I finally cracked and yelled for his help, only for him to scream at me that he needs sleep and gives her to me anyway. FML

Going well, isn't it?

Today, it was supposed to be my night off from the baby. Instead, my wife said she "couldn't even begin to deal", so she locked herself in the bedroom and I had to watch both my baby and my stepson, who both became hyper-needy the second she shut the door. This is the fifth time in a row. FML

Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML

Today, while eating breakfast in a hotel lobby, the woman next to me started playing an obnoxious clip of a baby’s high-pitched crying. The worst part is that my parents refused to let me do anything about it or step away from the loud noise, as they thought it would “embarrass the whole family.” FML

Today, I was awoken by my wife, once again. It seems that whenever I stop snoring, she thinks I died so she has to wake me to make sure I'm still living. She does this almost every night, every hour. FML

Alexa, play "Make It Stop" by Low

Today, like every day since the new neighbors moved into the townhouse next door, their newborn won’t stop crying. The room the two toddlers and newborn are in apparently shares a wall with my bedroom, so I hear crying while I work remote, study remote, and try to sleep. FML

You deal with it

Today, I found out that my partner intentionally acts like she sleeps through our baby's cries in the middle of the night, just to force me to do all the late night feeds and diaper changes. FML

It's gonna be alright

By Babyhazy - 05/06/2016 21:52 - Australia - South Yarra

Today, I'm so tired from constantly soothing my crying 2 month-old baby that I've started trying to soothe inanimate objects with baby talk whenever they make a noise. My fridge started beeping and I began an involuntary chorus of, "It's OK darling, shhhhhh, it's alright." FML

For all of you saying "it's her choice" you're right but also realize thats this is a a major issue in a marriage and can lead to divorce. It's unfair for him to force her to become a mother and it's also unfair for her to expect him to spend the rest of his life without ever knowing what it's like to become a father (if he stays with her). Children don't suck, it's all in how you raise and discipline them.

Very smart woman. Very intellegent way to make her point. I hope you think about the point she is making. Babies are "No Refunds-No Returns".

183: so true! Its easy for men to want kids cause the woman is the one bearing 99% of the burden. Pregnancy sucks! I puked EVERY day for 5 months straight. You lose your freedom, identity, have to wake up every 2hrs at night, constant feedings, diaper changes baby gets sick, the man just rolls over and goes back to sleep cause "babies are mommy's responsibility."

#208 Whoa FYL for being with a total selfish prick. Stand up to him and make him take care of the baby. It's his so he should do his part.

Possibly my fav FML ever... sounds like she knows how to present an indisputable argument. And because she's clearly not ready and he obviously doesn't know what he's askin for... he'll thank her later.

this is a plain stupid comment. How do you know the OP doesn't know what he's asking for? And it's definitely not 'obvious'.

Y'know, SWAT uses tape recordings of children crying to use in psychological warfare. Your wife has the right idea. The "Let's have kids" talk should come BEFORE getting married. EPIC FAIL!

"Today, I was woken up at 3:00 am to the sound of a tape recording of a baby crying loudly. This has been going on for 3 nights non stop. Why? because I brought up the subject of having a baby with my husband. Clearly, you can see where he stands. FML" Things seem to change when it's the wife wanting the child. How many people would be claiming the husband was being an immature douche for not discussing how he felt about having a child and driving his wife crazy for three nights? Just sayin'.
