i feel it is important to say that some people arent disgusted by the idea of other people having sex or the concept of sex itself
Thank you, this weird wave of zoomer puritanism is slowly starting to get on my nerves. Your friends have made a big decision, be happy for them.
This, the fuck kind of anti social shit is this. I can’t fathom how anyone would not know how to handle standard conversation.
“sitting on an ice pack” 😅
That’s because the LGBT equivalent would be ‘We’re trying to adopt a baby!’. The dude in this comic is just being obnoxious.
Congrats, you can understand why everyone in the comic is reacting that way.
“Someone shared their big life changing news with me, how can I make this all about me instead”
Life changing news is actually being pregnant. You don’t need to tell anyone he’s been rawdogging you.
I don’t plan on ever having kids and I don’t really get the desire to, but I can respect that deciding to have a baby is a big decision and you might want to share that with your friends and others.
Like I laugh at the idea of people telling others that they’re raw dogging it but I think people who actually get upset over it come across as either squeamish or incel-ish
I feel like hypothetically it is a worthwhile thing to share with your friends that you and your partner have decided you want children and that the time is now. It’s a big life decision, and when the time comes for myself and my partner, I will definitely want to talk with my close friends about it.
The conversation doesn’t have to be about raw dogging, instead it could be about planning for children. Many people plan for children in advance of getting pergenat.
If it comes up in conversation with close friends, absolutely let them know that you’re starting to plan for a child. But making it something to announce like it’s an occasion is very weird energy.
Do people often celebrate new responsibilities? Stop treating children as trophies and martial bandaids.
Who hurt you?
Choosing to have kids means you’re going to have a tiny human that you can shape and nurture into an incredible adult. The choices you make as a parent directly impact how your kid grows up, what they do professionally or for fun, their values and their moral compass. Its a huge responsibility but also its incredibly rewarding when you see the choices you made actively make your child into a better person. Every time you see your child make the right choice on their own based entirely on your earlier guidance, every achievement that they make, every little improvement in their capabilities
This is a really wholesome view, if only it were more common. The comment you responded to sure seems bitter, but I can see where they are coming from. Most people I know are carrying some level of trauma passed down from parents that did not fully consider the responsibilities they were taking on. Plenty of people have kids for selfish reasons and then fail to take responsibility for the negative ways they shape them. It sounds like you have been fortunate.
What? They can be a joy and a responsibility worth celebrating without being a trophy or martial[sic] aid.
Answer this question what’s the best thing you’ve done in life.
your mom
I want to change my answer
I also choose this guy’s mom
Huh I don’t remember my mom banging any special ed people.
The hell are you talking about lol
idk, graduated college and got a job? Various vacations / service trips / projects in Puerto Rico / California / Nantucket / Florida? If we’re talking purely by my own standards, been a good friend? Why?
Tragic your children didn’t make the list.
kids are responsibilities, but they’re awesome too?
Tell me how you feel about other people’s kids, imagine your at a restaurant or on a plane.
the same range of emotions as many socially aware humans i suppose? empathy, annoyance, understanding, frustration, consideration etc. some parents are more skilled, some are less, usually just try to assume everyone is trying their best, then try my best, and go from there?
It depends on the people’s kid. Your parents kid for example seems like a dickhead.
And your parents raised a pleasant polite reasonable little angel lol.
I struggle to imagine being as selfish as you about being around children in public. Kids can be great, they can also be not great. They’re just people. If you can’t be around people in public, that’s a you problem, not everyone else’s.
That’s my point children are people. Most parents don’t agree and refuse educate and teach them discipline to not be annoying which then snowballs thru the generations.
I think what both comics miss is that sex can be for a purpose other than straight up pleasure, it’s a means to an end. Also it’s very possible if someone says this that sex isn’t working very well for them in making a baby…and they might be doing things like IVF, etc.
I agree with the sentiment but i don’t think either comics are meant to be taken as actual criticisms of telling people you’re trying for a baby
sometimes jokes are just jokes
Never seen this one before.
Pretty funny!
I really don’t understand the issue with this. Is this a christian/american sex thing?
I have heard this from friends and family. I am just happy for them, and say that I think that it is great!
It’s an anti social, Lemmy thing.
They can’t for their lives, navigate standard social situations without going ballistic
“Why are people on a niche site laughing about their quirks? Why isn’t everyone here normal? I’m so mad.”
Oh silly I can and always have been imagining that even without you telling me anything
I don’t really understand the urge to let people know this, unless it’s family asking you about it. Not that your mind should “do a weird thing”, but it’s just… why?
We didn’t say a thing about a kid until a few months after conception, and we waited because even if it takes, there is a weirdly high chance of an early miscarriage. And it’s less is an announcement of good news and more of a “and that’s why she big now.” Just saying you’re trying to conceive is even more preemptive of something so highly variable that I can’t understand why you’d do it.
Yeah … I feel this. We told a family member at week 10. I think we wanted to wait longer, but it just sort of came of out. They shared it on Facebook. We didn’t say not to. Week 11 or so, I don’t fucking remember … Miscarriage. Probably not viable for a couple of weeks at that point.
Any case, we tried again and this time waited till week 13. We’re very explicit that it was only for family until we tell everyone somewhere in couple of months. And now we have a kiddo whose been kicking it strong for quite some time.
Miscarriages hurt and I’m a little surprised I still feel it.
Yeah, I’m so grateful it didn’t happen to us, but almost everyone I knew had a miscarriage at some point, apparently. And my parents shared almost immediately despite being told not to, because of course.
It’s good to share, even if someone was expecting memes and silliness, since you never know if that piece of advice helps them someday!
When you’re too porn addicted to handle social situations. Maybe it’s time to take a look at yourself.
Literally this. No normal person ever would interpret the phrase “we are trying for a baby” as something sexual/gross/disgusting in nature.
Most people probably would be socially aware to know that congratulations are in order and that’s the end of it.
I know a guy who has 3 daughters and is obsessed with having a son. He’s always going into detail about when he’s read the correct time wrt ovulation is etc etc. And saying things like I told (wife) that if she had the boy first, she could choose how many kids she wanted. The worst part is he says all this in front of his wife and daughters.
“you get to pick what you do with your body once I get what I want”
Sounds pretty rapey.
He meant it jokingly, but yeah. I never said he wasn’t an idiot.
Is he called Henry VIII?
Did you explain to him that the male chooses the sex? Its his sperm making girls not the wife. Never understood how guys always blame the woman for not making a boy? Who cares long as it is healthy.
He does know that. He’s just the type of person who makes a joke out of everything. I just wish he didn’t make those jokes in front of his daughters.
Unless his partner is a Bene Gesserit
Oh yeah, that was the time of my life. So much bed action.
TMI, I don’t need to know you are making a cream pie with your partner.
What about when I creampie your partner?
Sloppy seconds? Tell me what it tastes like.
Chicken
If I wanted my come back I would have wiped it off your face.
That…that line usually comes after someone makes a comeback
Yep, that’s it. This is the people who will execute the revolution. People who are so utterly incapable of navigation of standard social encounters without suffering emotional damage.
These people can’t even run into each others without going ballistic and they pretend they will start a revolution LMAO 🤣
…what? Are you lost? Imagining things?
