Today, my husband's daughter told us that she's 5 months pregnant. I'm going to be a step grandmother and I'm only 23 years old. FML

Let's say that, theoretically, the husband is not creepy old. The formula for the maximum difference in age without it being creepy is age/2+7. So, the oldest the husband could be without it being creepy is 32. If we assume that they JUST got married, and dated for more than a few weeks before getting married, I'd say the OP was probably 22 when they met, and the husband could've been 30 at most without it being creepy. So if the husband is now 31, then either he had his daughter at 15 and his daughter is 15 now, or maybe he was 16 and she's 14, or some other combination. Or he's a creepy old dude who marries younger women. Either way, YDI for either marrying an old guy, or for marrying a guy who had a kid when he was a teenager. You picked a classy guy, and so you get a guy with an obviously classy daughter. YDI.

I am a step-grandmother of a 2 year old and am only 27 without any children of my own, so I understand how this girl feels. While I now love my granddaughter to pieces and wouldn't change our family for the world it was very difficult when my husband's then 15 year old told us that she was having a baby. When I made the decision to be with him, I was 23 and he was 36, I understood that he had two teenagers, however that is much different than an infant grandchild who we now also support because obviously a now 17 year old mother who is still in high school (thank God) cannot possibly do on that her own. For all those who were trying to figure out the math, in our situation- there is a 13 year age difference between my husband and I, he had his daughter at age 21, she gave birth at age 15, and she and I are 10 years apart. It's really not all that unusual.

Don't take this as being rude, because I'm only assuming here, but if you're gold-digging then you completely deserve it. In fact, the daughter may have just made a point there.

I'm sort of in the same boat. My fiance is 40, his daughter is 22 and her son is 2. I am 23 years old. Only difference is I don't consider it a "FML" because I love my fiance and his family which will soon become mine as well. People..you can't help who you fall in love with :)

YOU-MARRIED-A-GEEEEEZERRRRRRRRRRRRRR seriously, if the girl's old enough to have kids, you're young enough to be her sister. Which would make your "husband" your father. You're weird. Maybe marry someone who doesn't have gray hair next time, dumb shit.

how is this a fml? poor you for becoming a stepgrandmother...

Right. Because it's all about YOU. Never mind F your stepdaughter's life. I would call you a self-centered twat, but the rules say to please try and be respectful. (PS @ #42: There's actually a formula for that sort of thing? Did you just now make that up? Or is it one of those young, hip things we old fogeys wouldn't know about?)

That did make me smile a little bit. But in all honesty- if the kid is old enough to have kids- abd your married to a guy that old, it's kinda the inevietable (sp) that you would become a stepgranny pretty soon don't ya think?

You're just some self centered b**** that goes around marrying older men. Your daughter is pregnant and all you're worried about is being a granny at an age of 23. Its life, ain't that a bitch.
