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.
This is our second; Nat.
Natural 1.
"I orgasmed in my wife seven times!"
I only finished in her twice!
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...
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.
