My apologies for posting twice in one day, but you know that feeling when you read something that makes you SO MAD and you're like OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO BITCH ABOUT THIS WITH MY BLOG FRIENDS and there's just no way you can wait til tomorrow to do so?
Yeah, that's the feeling I'm having right now.
If you haven't already (and I'm guessing most of you haven't, since none of you have blogged or Tweeted about it, and this is not the kind of thing you can read and then NOT blog or tweet about), go read this HuffPost blog: My Wife is Expecting Twins and I am Not Happy About It.
And then pull your earrings off, slip out of your heels-- we are still ladies, ladies-- and tell me: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY??!?! He's man enough to profess that he's the biggest asshole on earth to the whole internet, but not man enough to use his real name with it? I mean, I don't normally engage in a lot of 'hate' on blogs/bloggers, opinions I don't agree with, or what have you, but ARE YOU FOR REAL DUDE? There are some thoughts that are not meant to be shared with the world. THIS IS ONE OF THEM, unless you were planning on concluding with something LOGICAL, like therefore we are choosing to place our sons with adoptive parents who will pee their pants with excitement over the unbelievable gift of children, who will love and cherish them from the minute they hear about them until the minute death parts them, who would give anything for the blessing of two baby boys (even if they really just wanted one baby girl)...I mean, you know, maybe THEN I could not hate this guy. As it is...nope, I just hate him. And I want to cry. And I really hope that maybe the whole article is just a joke because surely no one is actually that heartless-- especially someone(s) who went through some measure of infertility. Surely.
Commiserate with me, please. Tell me this makes you as angry as it makes me. Also let me know if you want to join my special mafia that I am forming for occasions like this, when Supremely Jerk-faced people need to be hunted down and...umm...spoken with.
Surely, SURELY that is not real. That breaks my heart and makes me angry for about 8 million reasons.
ReplyDeleteThat is disgusting. Who in their right mind has an unwanted IVF pregnancy?! I like the comment someone wrote "No f*&^ing way did your buddy from college in reference to his twins say "Think of the worst thing you can imagine. That was what it was like". Unless, of course, the two of you both attended Douchbags Who Should Be Sterilized University."
ReplyDeleteA- it sounds like he has really happy memories of his first kid... Totally makes sense to have another.
ReplyDeleteB- there's about a BILLION articles out there that explain how fabulous twin chances are when you put two back. Plus I'm certain the doctor discussed this. If the mere thought of twins is your worst nightmare, why would you put two back?
This is so sad. It's mesmerizing to me to think that anyone who struggled would feel this way. I'm thankful they kept them. Now I just pray they learn to love and appreciate the family they've been given.
Yeah, I pretty much wanted to punch him in the face then rack him in the balls. I thought it was pretty cowardly of him to be anonymous too!
ReplyDeleteI saw this link on Stupid Stork and couldn't read it based on the title alone. Now when you posted it, I just couldn't resist clicking. Oh, boy.
ReplyDeleteYou know I couldn't resist leaving a comment. I even created an account to leave a comment. And it really wasn't a nice comment, no not at all. Don't you dare feel ungrateful, you stupid, stupid man. There's no excuse for that kind of ingratitude when you went through infertility.
So pissed right now. Mother of dead twins over here, and extra super pissed right now. We do need to find this guy and have a few... words with him
I will join you in the hunt for this coward who wouldn't even publish under his actual name. This article makes me so mad I am literally shaking. I am also less than impressed that Babble.com published this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so incredibly disgusted by so much of what he wrote. All I can hope and pray for is that it's a fake. If not, then some how, some way when they see their precious, innocent baby boys they fall madly and deeply in love. If that doesn't happen I say we make a plan to find them, sneak in and steal the babies for you!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this. It can't be real. Some of the comments are making me just as mad!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is sad. But, the comments restore my faith in humanity. My favorites so far: "grow the eff up" and "suck it up, cream puff!"
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Just wow. I cannot believe someone actually posted that. Breaks my heart, too, because what if one day those boys find that post with the magic of the internet (even though I know it's anonymous and all that)?
ReplyDeleteEarrings and heels are coming off!! What a complete jerk. People like this shouldn't be given this miraculous blessing. I honestly don't know if I'm more angry or sad about this :(
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking of one word and one word only to describe this guy... it starts with D and ends with ICK.
ReplyDeleteWow.....
ReplyDeleteFeeling overwhelmed is normal and permissible. Talking about your unborn children as if they are a cancer or some incurable disease is horrifying, The comment he made about hoping for a reason to get rid of one of them made me want to throw up.
I don't even know what to say after reading that horrifying article. I'm disgusted, sad and angry that such ignorance exists. You let me know when and where and I will be part of your special mafia any day! UGH!
ReplyDeleteI can't even believe this guy exists, how disgusting. Really there arent even the right words to begin to describe this guy!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is just sad. I hope they have something other than that post for the baby books. I pray that their attitudes change once these little miracles are born!
ReplyDeleteThat article disturbed me on so many levels. It makes me angry on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteI read this a couple weeks ago and I could not believe it was even posted to their site. It seems that wouldn't make it to print. And that the mother felt the same?? It was sickening. I posted it on my FB page and some were outraged and others said they felt that way at some point in their pregnancies too!! People are weird fersure.
ReplyDeleteWhat. the. heck.
ReplyDeleteI can't read it. I just...can't! I clicked the link & read the first few sentences or so, and then i was just DONE! I did read a few comments though. That was fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand at all. I would LOVE twins! I WANT twins!
I am a new reader to your blog, but couldn't help but write a comment. My husband, parents, and I are actually PRAYING for twins. We are HOPING for twins!! It would be a huge miracle for us!! This guy is a TOTAL JERK, I started to write a huge comment but decided against it, he is probably looking for more drama. ughhhhhhhhhhh, why didn't they THINK before doing IVF?! Yes, I hate him too!! We would HAPPILY take those babies!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm...is that for real or did someone just want to see how many comments they could get by writing something so stupid? There are way too many people who would love to be in his/his wife's shoes. Unbelievable and heartbreaking and angering that someone could feel that way.
