Today, my mother called me downstairs to give me what I assumed was going to be "The Talk" (About four years too late). So she sits me down, holds my hands, and with the gentlest, most motherly expression on her face tells me, "Honey, if you ever come home pregnant, I'll kill you and the baby." FML

Wow O_o I can't believe how much of a response this thing is getting(first post ever...) But for clarification:(Skip if you want...Blah) a) Since my mother was willing to beat me with a metal end of a broom for claiming Hitler and the events of the holocaust were wrong and has a machete at the ready underneath her bed, the threat was/is to be taken seriously, wouldn't you think... (Is she still hilarious?) b) Kill me, sure, but THE KID??? c)I would've loved for my mother to have been concerned/open enough with me to have an actual conversation about sex... Blegh -_-

abortion is never OK. It sounds like your mom has a healthy sense of humor. ...then again, every joke has a grain of truth...

I agree #7. And how is this FML? You shouldn't come home pregnant, anyway...

#12, you said it all with "I'm not adopted". You have no idea. I'm adopted - as is my brother. My adoptive parents couldn't have children due to medical complications. I was born a 15 year old woman living on welfare. If you're going to sit there and try to convince me that killing me would've been a better option than giving me to a family that's both financially and emotionally stable enough for a child, you're an idiot. I've been in adoption groups (because my parents thought it help me learn about the process), and nobody I've never known has though "what's wrong with me that I had to be given up for adoption?" Sure, maybe you do when you're about 10. But by you're my age, 20, you fully understand that your birthmother gave you up because she knew she couldn't give you the life you deserved. I have everything I need/want and more. My parents love me. This IS my family. While I appreciate the choice my birthmother made, I've never felt alienated or different just because I'm adopted. If you get pregnant and you're actually selfish enough to think "I don't want the inconvenience of carrying a child for nine months", so be it. But keep your mouth shut about adoption, because it's more than clear that you know absolutely nothing about it.

thank you # 102!! Somehow I REALLY dont think this mother was being serious about ACTUALLY killing her daughter and baby if she ever became pregnant!! WOW!!!! I'M SURE IT WAS JUST A JOKE!! But to # 12, all I have to say about your insensitive rant is how could anyone possibly think it would be better for a child of unprepared parents to DIE before it is even born than to have a chance at life with an adoptive family to give it a better life??? Being adopted doesn't mean they'll have a bad life! They will most likely have a completely NORMAL life! And either way, they'll at least have a LIFE!

The children who end up in orphanages are a direct result of the birthparents not spending enough time and effort into finding the correct adoption agency to file the child through. The adoption agency does the work for you. For example, my birth mother went through Catholic Social Services of Wayne County, MI - and specifically requested that I be placed in a Catholic home.. and could even request the annual income of the family I was placed with. As with any type of organization, there are good agencies and bad agencies. MOST of those kids who have traumatic adoptive experiences are a result of private adoptions OR failure to research the agency before giving the kid away.

If nobody cared, they wouldn't be talking about it - would they? Fail.
