Just in case you haven't seen the latest one yet, you can be prepared. I literally was reading this with my mouth hanging open. The friend that posted it has 2 children, doesn't want anymore and her husband is deployed. I totally bought into it. Ugh.
is EXPECTING!! I know, I know, it's crazy isn't it? I can't believe it myself. I wasn't going to post this until it was official. I mean who would have guessed that we are expecting !! Yup it's official.. We are expecting *snow* thursday night and again friday!! Re-post if you have any sense of humor!!
I did not repost. Apparently I have no sense of humor.
Ugh. I did post the following today (it's funny in the face of all of those "weeks" or "special mom messages."
ReplyDeleteFor facebook:
Copy and paste this if you know someone, or have heard of someone who knows someone. If you don't know anyone, or even if you've heard of someone who doesn't know anyone, then still copy this. It's important to spread the message. Oh and the hearts ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ For God's sake, don't forget the hearts ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
At least she's not really "expecting". Phew.
ReplyDeleteyup I saw that one too...the poster was someone I actually really like but her baby is still a newborn so I literally was like "are you for reaL????" I actually was relieved by the end...but no, I don't have a sense of humor either lol
ReplyDeleteI saw this this other day and it really angered me!!!
ReplyDeleteyep, me too. Pissed me off royally.
ReplyDeleteIn that case, I, also have no sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteOMG yes! I saw this one posted by a friend yesterday and my heart SUNK!! I would never post that b/c apparently I have ZERO sense of humor. Fertiles can sure laugh about a lot of things that we canNOT
ReplyDeleteI saw this too. It was actually posted by a girl who had a baby 3 months ago (and complained the ENTIRE time by the way). She also had her tubes tied about a week before posting this. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this. She is an idiot......total flippin' idiot...
ReplyDeleteoh and by the way....this is also the same girl that when she was pregnant posted this on Facebook....Is is domestic violence if my child is beating me up from the inside???? Yeah....she is a real gem....
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email about this... glad I am not the only one who didn't see the humor in this!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm with you ladies. I must not have a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteMan, I must have no sense of humor at all. That just pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteMy brother posted this, and when I read it, my stomach clenched up. he has one son who just turned four, and while I love my nephew, he is behind where he should be development-wise because my brother and sister-in-law are such crappy parents. My parents have basically taken over, so reading/thinking that my brother and his wife were expecting again was NOT something I find humor in. My husband told me that "he wanted to puke" when he read it. I'm tossing around the idea of sending my brother a message that it's rather insensitive when he has one sister who he KNOWS cannot and will not have kids, and another one who has been trying for almost two years with no luck. We definitely don't find that post funny.
ReplyDeleteNo laughing here either. It's like playing a joke on a terminal patient. How is that in any way funny? At least I've learnt that if you suffer from IF, we actually do have a sense of humour, we have lives, we don't mask our aging bodies with chubby baby photos on social networks, and we have a brain!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Seen it and felt it. Heart stopped. Whoever made this up should be shot :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this yet, and am glad i didn't becaue I think I'd be really tempted to make a very snarky comment.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I'm glad you posted this. I hated it too. It's bad enough to deal with real pregnancy announcements; now we have to see fake ones, too? Punch in the gut, slap in the face, not funny at all.
ReplyDeleteBut don't tell that to the ferts. We are just being "too sensitive."
I made the foolhardly mistake of looking on a birth board today and do you know what one of the threads was.......ways to tell people you are pregnant over facebook. ugh. Now there is threads on birthboards about announcing it on FB.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law was the first one to post this...that I saw on my list anyway. They can't control the 3 kids they have and I was about to fly to North Dakota and kick someone's a$$....namely my brother-in-law! I REALLY DO HATE THIS POST!
ReplyDeleteI saw this one as well and my heart also stopped when I saw it.
ReplyDeleteIt's just one of those annoying statuses that everyone finds humorous for a short period of time so hopefully we don't see it cropping up anymore.
It made me want to vomit when I read it. I first saw it posted by this lady who has twins almost a year ago and her and her hubby can't even afford those two. If I'm remembering correctly her hubs works part time at a coffee shop and they just blew through her inheritance and are trying to sell whatever possessions they can to survive. LOVE FB. :(
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. If anyone posts this on my feed (and so far no one has), I'm going t go off on them like they've never experienced before.
ReplyDeleteI almost burst into tears when I saw that posted as the status of an unemployed family (who still manages to spend ridiculous amounts of money on luxury items that we can't even consider buying). I almost didn't read the rest of the status due to my hyperventilating. At least I was prepared when I saw it a 2nd and 3rd time. I really wanted to comment, but I kept my mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteI saw it too and wanted to punch all of the posters. It's just not funny. Or am I just oversensitive? Bah.
ReplyDeletePssh. That's just stupid. (The status, not your reaction.) I hate those "repost this status or else you're a soulless humorless heartless douchebag!!<3aldskhgg" statuses anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis post pissed me off too. The chic who posted it doesn't even have custody of the daughter she already has. She's constantly posting comments on being hungover/partying/drinking. She definitely doesn't need another child at this point in her life.
