Oh happy day!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - Canada - Poplar Hill

Today, I announced my third pregnancy to my family. My dad's only reaction was to scoff, "Really? Stop breeding already." FML

This whole FML is highly dependent on your age in my opinion. If you're really young and already at three kids I'd say its a bit much. But shit, what do I know.

I'm sure if she was good at giving comeback she wouldn't be in this situation.

Out of curiosity, how many siblings do you have?

It was a different time when OP was born. So this question is invalid IMO. The world is a different place.

No it's not because, if OP has a lot of siblings than her dad has no right to judge OP on how many kids she is having or has. It doesn't matter If OP was born in a different time, and it doesn't matter how different the world is. If OP has 6 or 7 brothers and/ or sisters than the Dad is in no place to judge. If she only has 1 or 2 siblings and OP wants more than 3 and is a questionable age (as in being so young that her family thinks its a bad idea or she is broke, whatever the situation might be) than yes it is a good reason for her dad to say no more. This largely depends on OPs age and her situation in general for me to either say she deserves it or not.

*Then. 'Than' is comparative while 'then' is chronic.

My bad I made some mistakes, and to be honest sometimes then and than still confuse me a little bit.

Ya, this depends on the situation. I have a friend who is pregnant with her third kid, each from a different man. Never married, never worked a day in her life. She keeps having them to get the benefits and money from the government. I'd tell her to stop breeding.

I have a relative like that. Only she has 6 kids, two of which are in care. I often tell her to stop breeding. She has a new man so I assume #7 will be announced soon...

You should have "scoffed" back and been like geez won't you jus die already....if he is going to be an asshole like that !

Yeah, if everyone died just because they were an asshole, there would be like 15 people left on the planet

Isn't that his point? That nearly no one is free from being an asshole at some point?

Ask him if that's what his parents told him..

The only reason I can think that he might scoff is that you rely on him or others for some sort of support for the other two children. If you were able to care for all of them on your own, I don't see an issue.

maybe he didnt want anymore grandkids, but he should want more

Your body and your children yes he is a blood relative but he no longer has control over you...

Daddy doesn't want to make payments on a bigger trailer for you I assume.
