Parents bragging about their kids is really sweet actually. Just as long as its about each kid individually and not like some weird collectors complex
"we're going for a boy this time around! Fingers crossed!"
That shit always makes me think of card collecting or something.
I hope you roll a shiny :D
Me too! I considered weighing my wife before opening because I heard the rare ones have a slightly heavier weight. But she got really mad when I suggested that so I guess I'll just play it fair and see what happens in 9 months.
The implicstion with a shiny would be that she cheated.

It can be sweet, or it can be icky.
If the parent likes the kid for who they are, and is just happy to have a great relationship with another independent human, that's great.
But, sometimes the parents are obsessed with having a kid who they can mould in their own image. They insist, for example, that the kid become amazing at football, because they never made it as a football player but through their kid they can live their own dreams vicariously.
In the ye olden times, we'd rejoice over a successful birth, but modern medical care means that preganancy and birth is at its least fatalistic.
People had reasons to celebrate birth pre-1800s. Now, well...
"I orgasmed in my wife seven times!"
I only finished in her twice!
The scary thing is that it really seems to be the case that having a kid changes your brain, at least for most people. People who weren't sure they wanted kids become completely different people who are absolutely obsessed with their kids.
That's probably a good thing from an evolutionary point of view, but it's freakish to see it happen. It's also sometimes a tragedy when it doesn't happen and someone who was ambivalent about having kids is not thrilled with having a kid when it happens.

Why is this really Ooo-coded, something Finn would say in Adventure Time. Almost like we adopted the language of the apocalypse because we are experiencing an apocalyptic extinction of human life from war, soon to be nukes, and global warming
I swear to God that I will spit on the first person to try and communicate at me using these words. I will clear my nose.
Ahh to choose the spawnmogged sterilecel life… I wouldn’t have it any other way.
No no, go ahead and brag a little. It makes both of us happier about our different life choices.
Shoulda told him "Way to go, you and your wife have now doubled your replacement value. Now unless you're planning on losing half of them to plague, famine, and war, you're literally contributing to doubling the population density."
Man, I thought I couldn't agree harder than the audiophile meme a few minutes ago. I was wrong.
Don't have any kids, never wanted kids, zero regrets.
Not worth bragging when you only do the easy (and fun) part of making children....
If they are actively going for a 4th, then he's done something right. Raising 3 kids, with an unhelpful husband would be enough to put most women off having a 4th. Hell, even with a helpful husband!
Andrea Yates would beg to differ.
Don't worry about what will happen next, just keep going.
