Mother's Day Flashback

By dyingangel246 - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Wooster

Today, my fiancé and I told my future mother-in-law that we are expecting. Her response was, "Why are you doing this to me?" FML
I agree, your life sucks 44 174
You deserved it 4 838

dyingangel246 tells us more.

Hi everyone, OP here. I'd like to start by saying that the few of you who said she doesn't like me, you are probably right. When my fiance and I got engaged she didn't want to tell her family, to this day 2 years later I don't know who does and doesn't know. I believe she doesn't want to accept the fact that her 27, almost 28 year old son is getting married and starting a family. I myself am 26. My family on the other hand is super excited. She has stated a couple times that she is in no position to support us once the baby gets here. My fiance works 45+ hours a week at a very good job so we will be fine. We tried telling her that we won't need her support financially and she doesn't believe us. We live somewhere there is enough room to raise a child. Also my insurance will cover all of our hospital and Dr bills. My fiance and I have been together for over 5 years and living together for almost 3. We both love each other very much and are excited about the life we created. I figure if that's how she wants to act then oh well it's her loss! Sorry that was so long!

sounds more like a monster in law. I hope she comes around.

If you are happy, don't her bring you down. Maybe the thought of her baby having his own baby is hard for her? Hopefully, you don't live with her! Yikes!! ;)

**** her she's just a stupid hoe who probably hates everyone besides her son and I bet she will fall in love with your child as soon as they are born! So OP ignore her she's a waste of time

I'm in the same situation, except my fiancé doesn't have the balls to tell his family yet. This is our third pregnancy, and after the last two losses, we've been trying for a year for this one. I pray they don't say anything like that when they do find out, but... Who knows. :( Sorry OP, congratulations.

Well then she's not getting to be in the child's life.
