Today, my dad explained to me the "chain of command" for our house. McKinley, Mom, himself, Charlie, then me. McKinley is my two year old daughter and Charlie is the dog. He was dead serious. FML

Here's another "not an FML" due to the notorious ending of..."...and he/she was SERIOUS!" YDI for getting preggo in the first place, naming your offspring a dumb name like that AND for living with your parents.

good thing you don't have a cat otherwise everyone would be it's bitch

YDI it for being a worthless teenager popping out yet another FAS baby with no father and not taking any responsibility for raising her (and for sticking a human being with a name I wouldn't give to a dog).

OK, I'm just going to tell this story because everyone is assuming the OP is a teen mother and while that is likely, it isn't the only scenario. OP's husband could be in the military and not able to live with her because he's stationed overseas. OR.... A gal I knew in high school got married, the couple bought their own house and had a little girl, all in that order. The husband was killed in a hit-and-run. The SOB who did it was never caught. The widow and her little girl moved in with her parents. She wasn't a teen *****; just a broke widow with a preschooler and a mortgage she couldn't pay off by herself. I would certainly hope that the OP's father wouldn't say something like this to her if she had been through something as tragic as this, but being a mother of a two-year-old and living with your parents doesn't always translate into teen ****. Sometimes there are circumstances that are beyond anyone's control.

I agree with your overall point, but please don't generalise and say everyone thinks she's an irresponsible teen mum when they don't. There are some people who've, like you, defended her and said it's possible she's not.

you know... this could just be a bullshit story, cleverly designed to have fuckheads like yourself (bankrupt) to completely over analyze a damn FML! this could be a 90 year old man who finds joy in telling little lies, or a 12 year old girl who is very creative, the list just goes on and on and on. but obviously you know everything bankrupt so its only normal that i am completely wrong.

It happens. My wife died when our son was very small. Didn't see that one coming. I couldn't do it all myself and moved back in with my parents until I could afford a place to live AND daycare. I am not the only person in the history of the world this happened to so I don't know why you would think bankrupt is making it up or is a 90-year-old man or a 12-year-old girl. It was just an example of how things could and do happen.

dude you don't know her situation. maybe she is trying, at least she has parents who won't let her and her child be homeless and struggling in life. Her living situation is none of our business and who are you to judge I'm sure you're not perfect.

i would name my daughter mckinley...if you smash me in the head a couple hundred times with a frying pan. however, i do have to mention that a great lot of people here love to jump to conclusions without thinking... |the kid|

YDI for naming your kid McKinley ..

You named your daughter McKinley? YDI. There was a girl that I went to kindergarten with named Hunter. Now, I don't feel so bad for her. McKinley sounds like a food they would serve at an Irish equivalent of Olive Garden and Taco Bell.

Interesting that noone has entertained the possibility that her parents live in HER house. I knew a single mother with a 3 year old who had her parents move in with her because she owned her own house and they wanted to be closer to their only grandson. She had no authority either.
