Today, while getting ready to welcome my first child into the world, my father in law decided to "help out" and threw out a bunch of papers I needed. Like my child's application for a health card, social insurance number, and my birth plan, as well as instructions from my doctor. FML

I'm not above digging through trash if necessary. Get them before they are gone forever.

He probably doesn't want the kid to be crippled by socialism by cutting his dependence on the nanny state right away. That Ayn Rand causes people to do crazy shit.

#13, WTF? Are you eating some Portabella relatives?

13- No, I think he means Ayn Rand... Look her up

#13, I guess you're thinking of the character Andrew Ryan from the Bioshock games. Ayn Rand is one of the people on whom the character was based. Maybe take a little time off the video games and read a little.

This was no accident I doubt those papers just HAD to be throw out unless you left them with a bunch of other unimportant ones. even so they couldn't have been in the way that much.

All that can be replaced. Just be the best mother to your child you can be and all will be well.

That has to be the worst advice I have seen in a long time. They cannot be easily replaced. She needs to know that information so she is not charged exorbitant amounts of money from the hospital. On top of that, being a mother is about worrying.

So am I right in saying that a baby needs a health card and documents etc pre-birth to prevent "exorbitant costs" to the mother? (This is alien to me as a Brit!)

He's an idiot for not consulting with you. However, you should opt to use less paper and do things digitally.

Thus putting me out of a job. Don't listen to 19!

im sure he didnt mean too. but you should have had them in a folder or something ready for hospital anyway love. they'll give you more paperwork@ the birth place. no worries

Normally on FML, stepfathers are douches most of time. So if you have anything in the past with your step father, then he may have done it on purpose. But it also could have been an accadent. Depends on his face and how good a liar he is when you question him about it. But what I say is FYL

You're new, so I'll be easy on you. There is no step-father mentioned in this FML.

#24, also, #23 missed out on a chance to use the beloved "douche canoe." People love that for some reason.

I prefer the lesser known "douche kayak". But to each their own.

Douche canoe. Come on say it out loud, you gotta admit it flows together beautifully :)

How the hell could anyone click on "YDI" for FML like these? The situation was completely out of OP's hands and it wasnt her fault at all.

Well it could be that it was an accidental click or they are just major assholes who think everybody deserves everything they get.

OR... And I'm going out on a limb here, I actually know people like this, but there can't be that many... "YDI for procreating". I've since disassociated myself from said people.

Or, maybe OP left these important documents lying around loose in a messy way instead of keeping them securely in a folder somewhere. They would've deserved it a little then. I went for FYL though.

What a jerk. You don't throw out other people's papers. I'd say thanks for cleaning but don't ever do it again.
