"We" are not pregnant
| Sun, 12-17-2006 - 8:34pm |
My best friend always says about her and her husband trying to concieve "When WE were trying to get pregnant", and "When WE finally got pregnant". For some reason that really irks me like she's trying to be all cutesy. I would equate it to PDA or something the way it makes me uncomfortable! I don't know if it's because I visualize her husband in stirrups and materinity clothes or what. She literally tells me I "don't understand" because I'm single of course. Well "we" do not get gestational diabetes, and "we" do not get prostate exams, and "we" do not get the epistiotomy (sp?)!! Anyone else think this way or shall I attribute it to my own meager existence of singleness???

Honestly, if I ever end up pregnant it better be a "we" because I am not going through all that alone.
I am not sure that I understand the question, LOL.
It is a little uncomfortable though. I remember both my brother and sister announcing that "they were trying" and I chringed ever so slightly . . .
there has never been a we in you and me
ok a guy cant get pregnant
so there is no we
sorry but the man can impregnate yes
but cant get pregnant
there is you
there is me
there is and can never be we
so i am single
and i agree with you
i think its just a bit innapropiate to announce or broadcast to anyone that you are trying
doesnt that really say they are having sex all the time
why not just say that instead of sugar coating it
it would just as innapropiate
again i never really thought how innappopiate thats really is
until now
gosh its just as innapropiate as women breastfeeding in public and i have seen it and it was distasteful
like thats too much info for them to say they are trying
again its just a nice way to say they are having sex more oftehn than usual
wow come to think of it its kida rude
I don't think the "we" is that bad it does actually take the two of them to get pregnant and I think the continued "we" after the woman is pregnant is just to make the SO feel included.
I think it's just annoying that someone would assume you couldn't possibly understand anything because you are single, as if we have no brain and can't comprehend anything. When you are in a relationship does your IQ jump a few notches suddenly as well?
