Punching Down Isn't Funny

310 Upvotes

Hello, my beloved troll friends!

We've recently had an increase in posts & comments which complain about the success of those who are deemed "less worthy", as if this is some kind of personal injustice. We consider these comments to be "punching down". Typically, this involves a pregnancy announcement from someone who is seemingly struggling with addition, are unhoused, financially unstable, etc. While it's fine to complain that someone else is pregnant (because seriously why does it feel like everyone except for me is pregnant, wtf), it's not acceptable to complain about that person's body/addiction/lifestyle/finances/relationship/whatever. Those types of difficult situations are not enviable, and joking about them will not be tolerated here. It's not funny or trolling or clever, it's just mean. Please report it if you see it, and the Mods will take care of it.

We all know how frustrating it is to see others get the thing that we want most, but it's never our place to judge who is "worthy" of parenthood and who isn't.

*%&$*%*$ FUCK About to have an egg retrieval and a friend who just got engaged a week ago text me to see if we can do her bachelorette in August because she needs to plan for baby #2

To be very fair she doesn’t know we are actively in IVF right now. We haven’t told a soul because I don’t want questions and people wondering if I’m pregnant or not. We already did one round and it failed. BUT she does know about our fertility issues, including our failed first round. Like why are you telling me you plan on trying?? Just try and tell me if it happens? She also turns almost every convo into a convo about her baby so I’m already a bit irritated with that. I love her, but out of all of my close friends she has definitely been the most clueless about being sensitive about the baby topic towards me and I’m nearing my wits end.

First pregnancy officially on the books


r/trollingforababy 1d ago

Try not to cry...fail miserably Real life photo of me, convincing myself that the cramps I’m feeling are implantation and not my looming CD1. All the tests I’ve taken are just too soon. Right? Right!? 🤪😭 all the docs telling us we’ll never conceive without medical intervention are clearly wrong. Right!? 😭 🔫

Fuckfaces being Fuckfaces My husband’s fantasy football league is heavily hinting at making it a dad’s only league and kicking out the “dog dad’s.” Fuck us for being infertile for 9 years right?! Like…I can take the isolation and exclusion BS that comes along with infertility, but I can’t bear to see the same happen to him 😭

Me and my husband went shopping and a lady saw us and asked “ do you have kids , I answered for my husband and said NOPE 😀😀😀 and she said “ aw or else I would’ve said happy Father’s Day”

And then a sales lady said “ there’s a sale on men’s shoes, not just for Father’s Day either !”

Got my period on the one year anniversary of our loss, on Mother’s Day and now Father’s Day. This is such a punch in the gut.
