    It’s possible the OP was created the same way. Do they fixate on their parents having sex everyday of their existence?

    These poor people probably just think the people around them are supportive and felt safe to share a life decision. Also didnt want to surprise someone. Imagine they didn’t tell you at all. Like suddenly boom there is a baby in their life.

    If they were trying and had one, wouldn’t you want to think you’re a close enough friend to them that they wanted to share that news with you?

    People get married and share that as life news. Do you also fixate on their honeymoon sex?

    why does it gotta be so weird if someone shares baby news?

      I think the joke is just that the individual’s subconscious supplied explicit imagery that the consciousness never asked for, like an intrusive thought. Doesn’t read to me as a comment on the couple sharing the info.

      “Sorry, my brain did a thing”, right there.

      Edit: it does not seem that the rest of the thread agrees with me lol

        Yeah I saw that. Seemed to me like the person is struggling with thoughts about sex. there isn’t even any indication that that is definitely even the way that couple are having a child either. We don’t know if it’s IVF or adoption or it could be sex. But that should be the least important thing in that moment either way. Their friends shared some news with them. Their friends thought they were supportive and close enough to do so.

        Few other posters are weirdly upset to hear when someone shares baby info like how dare someone make them think of sex. I don’t think that should be the take away over life changing news.

        if they are struggling with thoughts about sex, maybe they look into why they are struggling especially over something like that considering sex Ed should have covered that well before the age of child rearing.

        Tell that to the people talking like they are the ones being offended what with being told someone is thinking about having a baby.

        Like geez find better life goals.

          People aren’t offended, they are just point out the comical and graphic implications of telling someone you’re trying to get pregnant.

          You are inventing outrage that doesn’t exist.
