Today, I gave a beautiful book of baby names to a friend of mine who's been trying to get pregnant for a while. She just burst into tears when she saw it. Just before meeting me, she'd found out she was sterile. FML

Today, I helped a lady give birth on the train. She was so happy she asked if she could name the baby after me, but as I told her my name she visibly turned her nose up at it, turned to her husband, and suggested naming it after his grandfather instead. FML

Today, my child-hating friend who vowed never to have any no matter what, announced that she's pregnant. I've had three IVF cycles, spent $90k in fertility treatments, and still can't conceive. FML

Today, a pregnant friend who is due in 2 weeks posted a picture of a baby on Facebook. I commented congratulations. She's still pregnant. It was a picture of her baby who died 3 years ago. FML

Today, I was selling personalised stockings at work. When handing a customer's order over to her, which had no name on, I joked, "Oooh this is a bit mysterious". She replied, "Actually, it's in memory of the baby I miscarried earlier this year." FML

What's in a name?

By Oof - 27/02/2024 15:00 - United States

Today, I introduced my coworker to my friend's boyfriend. When I mentioned his name, she started crying. Apparently he has the same first name as her twin brother, who died shortly after birth, so that name has become a bit of a sore spot for her. I didn't even know she had a twin. FML

Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML

Well, honestly, she could get over it. I don't understand why any woman would WANT to get pregnant, unless she was extremely masochistic. And it seems a little bit selfish to me, considering all the kids there already are that need love and a decent place to live.

this is why you give someone a baby name book AFTER they successfully get pregnant, not while they're trying

yeah you're right, women get pregnant because they enjoy the pain that accompanies having a baby. that's actually the reason women why millions of women get pregnant, you're right on track. it's not to start a family or for the sake of being a mother and taking care of a baby, it's because they're masochistic.

It was a thoughtful gesture, you knew what she was trying to do, you couldn't have possibly known she was sterile, screw all these people who think you were rushing things..it was sweet.
