Today, my mother still refuses to acknowledge my son as her grandson, all because I had a C-section, which she says is unnatural and against God's will. I only had the C-section in the first place for health reasons. FML

Today, I asked my Dad if it was true that my mother had a C-section at my birth. He replied "Yeah, so technically you weren't even born, you were surgically removed, like a tumor." FML

Today, my husband got a vasectomy. My mother-in-law is extremely upset that he only gave her one grandson. Guess my other son doesn't count. FML

Today, I came out to my mom as a lesbian. She told me that it was impossible, because since she isn't one, she therefore couldn't have given birth to one. She still won't believe me. FML

Today, at my strictly Catholic grandmother's funeral, I was made to sit in the row behind the rest of the family, because I was born out of wedlock and wasn't a 'real' member. FML

Today, my 5 year old son asked me to explain how he was born. After I told him I had a C-Section, he went to school and told everyone he was born at sea. I found out when the teacher called me. FML

Today, my mother-in-law was so rabid to meet her first grandson, she didn’t just nudge me aside to get to the delivery room, she two-hand shoved me in the chest so I flew backwards and down a flight of stairs. I’m now in a neck brace for a hairline crack to my vertebrae and can’t pick up my own son. FML

Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML

The nerve

Today, my biological mother, who abandoned me at the hospital the day I was born, turned up at my son's birthday party, demanding my bone marrow to treat some disease she has. When I outright refused, she tried to ask my son for his marrow to, “save granny’s life”. He’s 5 and now won’t stop crying. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law blamed me for the death of her husband because I should have taken him to the ER when she didn't feel like it. She then blamed me for her getting a new boyfriend less than two months later and making her son hate her when she insisted he call the guy "Dad". FML

How dare you be careful with your own life?! That's not gods will! In all seriousness though, do you really want a crazy, over-zealously religious woman like that be near your son? Be thankful, maybe?

Maybe that wasn't an option 2000 years ago. Neither was half the stuff she owns.

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. You got the c-section cause it was better for you and put you and your son at lest risk. I've had a section and lemme tell you, I'd sooner have had him "normally" if I could but it was too risky! I don't know of ANYONE who'd says"oh yeah I would rather have a section"Your mum should be grateful didn't he fact you're both still alive.

I'm a weird one. I had a C section after 52 hours in labor. My son pooped, so we had to get him out. I was so ready. After the first day I told them that he's not coming out any other way. I just knew I'd have to have a C section and I'd rather get it over with now than have to do another 24 hours. My recovery was super easy too. I don't plan on another baby, but if I do it'll be another C section.

That's her loss sunshine. If she doesn't see that, she's an idiot. I'm sorry your mom is being so cruel.

Well I was adopted, and my son was born by emergency C Section. My adoptive mother would kill anyone who suggested he wasn't her grandchild. OP's mother has been reading too much Macbeth.

It may not be "natural" to have a C-section, but it is most definitely a sin to let the child die otherwise. She needs to get her priorities straight.
