Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML

Today, I told to my son that I'm pregnant. After I'd told him, he looked up and yelled, "Fuck this shit!" and walked out of the room. My son is nine years-old. FML

Today, after my 4 year-old was so excited to be a big sister, hugging my belly every chance she got, counting down the days till the due date, my son was born this morning. She took one look at him and declared, “I don’t like him, leave him here, do we have to keep him?” then started crying. FML

Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML

Today, I told my family I’m pregnant again. My boyfriend is now sat outside, crying and getting drunk. My oldest son is looking at apartments for rent because he doesn’t want to be around screaming babies again, and my younger two are crying because they don’t want another sibling either. FML

Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML

Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML

Today, my husband and I announced at a family get-together that I'm pregnant with our fourth child. My dad sighed, and spent the rest of the evening acting moody, and eventually muttering about how he'd raised a "damned broodmare." FML

My sister was very upset when we found out we were getting a younger sister too. It'll get better when he realizes you won't abandon him for the new kid.

Wow. I really hope you're not letting him off lightly for trying to punch you in the stomach, that's scary.

Sorry OP, but 8 years is a bit long to wait to have another kid. This said, at 8, that sounds like a pretty extreme reaction. Get him to a therapist BEFORE there's any tiny human target

I understand the getting upset part but the punching you in the stomach is pretty scary. Hide the sharp objects and get him some therapy!

Um I would try to include him in some baby activities that involve him praticing to a big brother. Make it sort of like a game so he can not only look at his new sibling as fun but not be afraid he won't get any attention.

You should probably have that child tested for bipolar and schizophrenia. Like right now.

How does any of that indicate schizophrenia? Or bipolar disorder? Obviously something needs to be done about his behaviour/feelings, but there's nothing there to indicate either of those things.

1. Congratulations. 2. Don't take the hitting lightly, spank him. He needs to get over it

Anyone else reminded of The Omen upon reading this? It's like the kid is hoping his mother will have a miscarriage because he doesn't want a sibling. That's very scary, OP. Get that kid some help or something!
