Congratulating couples on welcoming a baby is just stupid

Why are we supposed to pretend that two horny people copulating and making a child (often by accident) is some sort of a great achievement? I'll congratulate those people only when it becomes obvious that they raised their crotch fruit to be a responsible and educated member of society, who pays taxes regularly, recycles and knows what the capital of Moldova is.

But until that day I'll save my best wishes for those who really deserve them.

OP has stated her boundaries.

She's telling you NOW so she doesn't have to tell you later.

I offer expectant couples my deepest sympathy.

It's a joyous occasion for most, OP. Don't be a dullard. Have a modicum of propriety.

This isn't worth getting wound up over, OP.

They deserve to be reminded that the baby probably won't live to see 50 because of climate change.

It's congratulating someone on their happiness. It's a new chapter in their lives that changes everything, and for people who never thought they would be able to have children it is a great achievement. We also congratulate grandparents on having grandchildren.

OP it would have been funnier if you had spelled it "stoopid" in the headline.

All that stuff gushing and celebrating having babies and getting married is usually women’s stuff.

The birth of a child can be a wonderful thing for the parents. But in my heart-of-hearts, all I ever really think is "Congratulations. You had unprotected sex." But I'm far too cynical for my own good.

R9 It’s not always happiness though. Or it’s happiness and very momentary.

We should celebrate divorces too, that’s happiness for a lot of people.

All I want to know is, when the baby will be paying taxes and will no longer be a burden to the state!

Op is jealous he can’t give birth and will probably never legally get marry.

OP, I'm sorry that you couldn't think of a better idea for a new thread than this rather sad effort. Maybe you'll do better next time.

by Anonymousreply 16April 19, 2022 10:07 PM

OP just ruled out all black peeps. Racist!

Remember: We need a consistent supply of babies in order to have a consistent supply of twinks in the future.

Is it okay to congratulate a couple on adopting?

by Anonymousreply 19April 19, 2022 10:22 PM

OP, do you plan on joining the human race any time soon?

by Anonymousreply 20April 19, 2022 10:24 PM

Best advice is if you can't say anything nice, don't speak. It's odd how triggered some people are about baby-related stuff. My mate's sister made some wholly unnecessary remarks about a relative's wife having a baby shower, and amongst them after receiving her nvitation , exclaimed "Jewish women don't have baby showers". The expectant mother isn't Jewish!

Same judgmental sour attitude. I've never been keen on babies, or children really, but when I hear such remarks, I'm dumbfounded.
