The phrase "We're pregnant" annoys me

It annoys me far beyond the level it should, but when I hear a man say "We're pregnant", I want to scream.

Marriage is (usually) an intertwining of two lives. What happens in one person's life is also happening in the others. Get over it.

We're having a Vasectomy(Mastectomy/Colonscopy/Dropping a deuce/etc.)

Being annoyed by a phrase is odd. Wanting "to scream" because you heard a man say "we're pregnant" is ridiculous. GTF over yourself.

Thanks for not getting an abortion?

My wife and I have reached a level of emotional intimacy where we can genuinely feel each other's physical pain...and pleasure ;). The phrase "we're pregnant" is actually quite accurate. It saddens me that the OP will never have romantic synesthesia like this. One the other hand, my butthole still hasn't recovered from the last time she gave birth.

Also, when people say "we won" in reference to their favorite sports team.

No, the players won. "We" sat on our couches and watched.[/quote]

This one is hilarious because it's so true.

I had a co-worker who would come in every Monday talking about his favorite football team as "We". "We played well." "I thought what we should have done was this..."

Being as sarcastic as I am, one Monday morning as he was talking to a few others, I said "Greg, do you play for the Ravens? Do you own stock in the Ravens? Do you work for the Ravens? Because if not, there is no we." Everyone just laughed, including him and he looks and me says "I hate you but you are so right."

Check Tinder.

I done ate myself so much pasta & bread last night at Frankies, I had me a food baby growing all night. Took awhile, but it passed this morning. I might have stretch marks.

I'm actually okay with it. It is an easier way to say, "She's pregnant and I'm the one what done it to her."

"Zack and his wife are pregnant." - You know exactly what I mean.

"Zack's wife is pregnant." - "Who's the father?"

"Zack has impregnated his wife." - "Thanks for the visual, weirdo."

We all know the female is the pregnant one, but it took a little participation from the father as well.

This is also why it's okay for a waitress to say "Are we ready to order?" She's including herself in the process. It takes two people to order: one to speak, and one to listen.

In this scenario, is it acceptable for customer to start to order, only to have the waitress say, "wait, stop, I wasn't ready."? I think it sort of says that the waitress is partially nuts, in that she is talking to herself.

No. The waitress is not ordering. She is taking the order. Only the customer is ordering. You are a liar.

What about "We're preggers"?

Seems like you're annoyed by him wanting to scream. GTF over yourself.

I never said the waitress was ordering, only that she is part of the process, and that it is not possible to order with only one person. That would not be ordering, that would be talking to oneself.

But it doesn't make sense for the waitress to ask if "we" are ready to order unless the waitress is ordering. The fact that she is involved in the process of ordering does not make that particular pronoun make sense.

If I am painting a wall, would the wall be able to say "we are painting"?

What in the world makes you think most expecting couples are married?

Regardless of the semantics, you guys need to be careful to go out of your way and do absolutely everything you can to be the husband you need to be and the father you need to be at that time. It's a unique time in your wife's life and if you botch it by not being supportive enough and caring enough, she will get hurt and it will be *very* difficult for you to ever overcome the marriage problems stemming from that. Yes, your wife is most likely going to be very emotional and hormonal. She'll even seem psycho at times. Everything about her life is changing. Her body will never be the same. Her role in this world will never be independent of children any more. Her hormones will be doing crazy things to her mind and feelings. It's not just squeezing out a pup and sticking a bottle in its mouth and changing its diapers. You must step up and love, support, and prioritize your wife and newborn unlike any other time in your life. I'm telling you. If you don't, it's highly unlikely you will ever have a happy marriage again. Your wife needs you and deserves you more at this time than any other time in your life.

Go above and beyond. Spend the money on the nursery furniture for her, even if you don't think you have the money. Absolutely do not miss the childbirth. Stay up late with the newborn, even if you have to work the next day, to give your wife some rest. And read up on post-partum depression. It's a real thing and you need to recognize it. This will be one of the most turbulent times in the life of your wife, and your marriage, and yet one of the most memorable and life-changing times in her life. Go out of your way to do absolutely everything you can to make it the happiest time in the life of your wife. Twenty years from now when you still have a happy marriage instead of filing for divorce, you can thank me then.

You're welcome.
