Because, this place is famous for it. Obviously.
My Mrs is pregnant and our first scan is next week. If all is ok we will announce it that evening. But, we have a bit of a problem:
My mate and his wife have been trying for a baby for about 5 years now. He had Chemo as a kid, lost a bollock, and the other isn’t firing on all cylinders. So last year they started IVF treatment, only for it to have to be put on hold because his mrs has a cyst on her womb that needs to be removed first. This latest bit of shit luck only happened a few weeks back, as well.
So - how the fuck do we tell them? Whenever I talk to my mate about the IVF he acts like it’s no biggie and moves the conversation on, so I don’t know whether to follow his lead and just announce it, or acknowledge that it’s probably going to wound them a bit and let them know ahead of time? If the latter, how the fuck do you do that without sounding like you’re either rubbing their faces in it or apologising for it?
People of TTH. What would you do?
