ffs...

Someone on botb suggested a fertility shower. You know, where you can buy opks and pregnancy tests for the hopeful couple. I just can't handle people sometimes.

Eta: it was deleted already. But still.


AngelSmitty: This reminds me of something my college Human Sexuality professor used to say in class. "Sex is between the legs. Gender is between the ears."

In the time between when I clicked on here and then went to look at it and then came back...and then went back to look at it a second time in disbelief, she DD.

Um, ew.  Really? A fertility shower? Is this real life?

Every fertile time should be celebrated.

I woke up today and had to go to work. I should throw a party so my friends and family can help pay for my coffee and gas. It's expensive to be a functional member of society, yo.

Indifferent

That's just creepy. What's next? Is the hopeful couple looking to have an audience present during conception?!

What??  Holy sh!t.  And people wonder why we're snarky on here.  It's because we're inundated with self-entitled bullsh!t like this.  Come on...

I'm going to throw a huge party when my milk lets down.  Admission is a box of breast milk storage bags and nipple cream.  Who wouldn't want to celebrate my boobs?

I refuse to believe this is real.  How much more self centered can people get?

When a close friend was struggling with fertility issues I was reading her blog links and I stumbled upon some lady who posted about this. Her shower was really very cute. Her close group of friends threw it for her, and it was really small like 4-5 people. They did not give her OPK, test, etc.. they just gave her specail gifts to pamper herself. She had been so down about going to so many baby showers recently (she was years into TTC) that her friends did this to cheer her up. It seemed to make her happy, and it seemed really sweet. Now that kind of shower I can be down with. A shower like explained in the OP where people buy you getting pregnant things is just plain wierd. I guess you could register at walgreens, don't forget the pre-seed!

Some people will make up any reason to have people give them things. My favorite is when they say something along the lines of "well its common in my family/circle." Yeah...ummm.....no its not and now everyone you know is talking trash about you.

No don't be silly! It will be a conception shower where you shower the couple with preseed and sex toys!
