Is It That Hard To Ask? A Pregnant Vent ;)

[BCV513]

I thought I was "following" (er, uh living vicariously through?) your baby journey so far... I don't think I saw a conception story lol.

Oh I'll be glad to brief you!

She HAD to conceive in Disney on Christmas Day. So she kept hubby happy using "other methods" for a few weeks beforehand. Then on Christmas morning hubby gave her "come hither" eyes. BUT she was worried that the roller coasters would shake out his goods from her oven. So she tried to hold him off until Christmas night. I can't remember the rest, I was too busy bleaching my eyes out.

Oh wow. That's not true. I didn't have to concieve on Christmas Day. That's the day my ovulation predictor said was ideal. I can't help it that it was Christmas day. I admit I wanted a Disney baby but the date was beyond my control. I was just lucky!

lol I didn't worry about the roller coaster shaking the good from my oven (how crude by the way). I was worried about something else but then you'd say it was TMI if I say it here.

The come hither look? Well, I wouldn't call it that, but I can delete it if it was too much.

"Other methods"...well I wasn't specific but I see now that it was innappropriate, I will delete it.

By the way, is this ticker any better?

LOL gotcha. Yeah, I missed that. I guess it worked, huh? Well more power to her, I tried to TTC at Disney on almost every visit, it never worked!

I read that post about the conception and I agree it was WAY too much information.... However, we also have a choice to STOP READING! If someone feels comfortable sharing that's their business, we have the choice to ignore it.

I'm sorry to offend. I will delete it. I just got carried away without realizing.

Re-read my post.... I was on your side! Don't go deleting something because of me!

No offense here. Like a PP said, they can stop reading. This is an exciting time in your life.

 

[si-am]

lol wel I didn't post the DETAILS of HOW I got pregnant, just the surrounding details.

Everyone knows HOW people get pregnant, that's like birds and bees and 6th grade sex ed stuff. It's the surrounding details that are unnecessary!

I deleted the surrounding details. I think I got it all. I had no idea so many people would be offended. I apologize. I know the surrounding details are unnecessary, but I know I enjoy reading all the romantic pregnancy details of others, so I just went with it without a second thought. I've seen worse sexual innuendo on these boards that were laughed at and taken lightly, so I'm surprised my story made so many people uncomfortable, and even angry it seems. I never thought a come hither look would make someone want to bleach their eyes!

Sexual innuendo as a joke is one thing. Knowing how you held off your husband for weeks (but didn't deprive him) is another. I can't imagine why you thought that was appropriate to share with strangers. Furthermore, posting all that is very disrespectful of your husband. It's bad enough you have shared all the details of his work with us. I can't help but wonder what he'd think if he knew you were sharing the details of your sex life as well.

Do you really think people post EVERY intimate detail of their lives?

Yes. Yes I do. Obviously not everyone, but some of them post details that just do not need to be shared. And of course I can stop reading, and I do when it gets annoying. My point was that it's getting more common. It's encouraged narcissism.

It can also lead to people dropping their guard and posting information that can actually have repercussions in they daily lives. Speaking in a general "you" talking about your pregnancy is one thing. Talking about your pregnancy, and the city you just moved to, and about the new 3 bedroom 2 bathroom yellow house that you bought on a corner lot, and where your husband works, and that your dog is a big old softie who would never attack anybody, and how you're home alone on Thursday and Sunday nights when your husband works the overnight shift...

These things are seemingly harmless, but with a few clicks, they can find your house on real estate websites. They can estimate when you'll be home alone, and they can find you. It wouldn't even be hard.

Do you find pregnancy tickers annoying since they basically announce the baby's development to strangers on a daily basis? Or weight-loss tickers?

Uh...no? How is that remotely similar?

Do you think people are interested when strangers put the names of their pets in their signatures?

Bit of a reach?

See where I'm going? I think people these days get annoyed so quickly over the silliest things.

This is going nowhere because your arguments make no sense. You can try to make this out to be about me, or you can face the facts that some people overshare on a regular basis, and you know I'm talking about more than doggie names. I was making a generalization about our society in my other post, so why have you taken offense? Are you a chronic over-sharer? Hmmmm?

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

I wasn't making it about you. And I'm not arguing. I don't need this to go anywhere, as you say. I was just replying directly to you because you were replying directly to me. But you say you were just generalizing. Ok, I understand. What I don't understand is the anger or hostility vibes. Maybe I'm an oversharer. Why does that make you angry? "Hmmm?" (to quote you).

What have I done that's so terrible? I deleted my oversharing. I apologized. What more can I do? I just want to have a fun, peaceful time here on the Dis. Will you accept that? I hope we can just start over and forget this.


Anyway the kids were dismissed 15 minutes ago and I have to get home. Cheer practice tonight (not me lol).

 

[lilybrooke14]

Mrs. Darcy,

Dude? Really? I'm not remotely angry. Or hostile. Or (again) referencing you directly. Being a bit silly actually. (Hence the poop reference.)

I made a comment on the Bratzilla reference. You quoted me. I answered you. The end.

Stop making it about you. (Then again, the tendency for people to make it about themselves is kind of what I was talking about, so in a way you're illustrating my point. Thanks for that.)


P.S. That last part? That was about you.

Ok you win. This thread has turned into the tendency for people to make it about themselves. How about we start a new thread about the growing tendency of people in general to criticize each other. I see it every day and it's really sad.

I'm editing this to say nevermind about the new thread. It would basically be criticizing criticizers, and I don't want to get into those kinds of discussions.

Now I really really have to get home!
