Today, my mother came into my workplace to wail on me for "ruining our family's reputation" because I got a girl pregnant. I've been married to the "girl" for 8 years. FML

she sounds like the mother-in-law of every woman's dreams. I feel more sorry for your wife than for you... You should stick up for your lady - threaten to cut contact with your mother until she gives your wife proper respect as a member of the family.

Well the families reputation isn't going to last long if reproducing is that frowned upon!

True - she's probably worried about her reputation, because she is a Grandma now. Woman get crazy when they get older.

But they could interpret it has the op cheated on his (assuming it's a guy) wife and got some random girl pregnant

It's a guy. Girls can't get girls pregnant. Use your brain.

Why is it that some parents just can't ever accept that their children grow up?

I think your mom wishes you were still a kid. Either that, or she went into a coma when you were 16 and didn't come out of it for a few years and believes you're 17-19 and unmarried. In all seriousness, your mother is pretty crazy, and not in a good way.

Well that escalated quickly. Sorry OP. Maybe she had an encounter with the MIB and they erased that part of her memory...

It didn't escalate at all. It just... happened. The second she walked into the office.

It's a shame she's not being supportive. Good luck with the new baby, OP! :)

Some mothers just can't seem to realize their kids aren't babies anymore. I imagine the rest of your family is aware of your marital status, though, and they're probably also aware of your mother's psychiatric status. Congratulations on your baby!

I bet this ain't about confusion over marital status or not wanting her son to grow up... This is about moms refusing to acknowledge / not liking their precious sons' wives. I've seen it happen plenty.

I don't see "30's and Pregnant" catching on anytime soon.
