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

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 selfish bastard you're supposed to go through with a natural birth anyways so you can risk the well being of your child and end up with a ****** that looks like a head of cauliflower! Sarcasm aside, it genuinely sucks that your grandma can't acknowledge your child based on nonsensical religious dogma.

Tell her that she's not actually your mother, because it's against God's will to be a **** to your own kin.

Tell her that if she is not willing to recognize her relationship with your son that you aren't going to recognize her as your mother.

THAT IS ****** UP! Gods will? God didnt say C-Secrion doesn't make u a mother. Its true in the bible it speaks of natural birth BUT it does not say C-Section is a sin, in fact it does NOT even mention it at all. And btw having a baby C-Section is basically the same as natural birth. And no I do not mean of course in the literal way. I mean that C-Section is just as motherly as natural birth. Even doctors and pastors say so ffs tell ur mom to take a damn chill pill and to ACTUALLY listen to God and not judge under her own flesh. Sorry I just hate ppl who use God in stuff like that.
