    Call me a party pooper, but I really don’t get these “I pranked my wife during her most vulnerable time in her life, when she really needs my support” thingies.

    They are seriously not funny.

      Then why did I laugh?

      He’s adding a little humor to a life changing moment and she is very likely attracted to him because of that humor. Party pooper

        You also don’t prank your grandmother at the funeral of her husband. There are things that are not ok and there are a ton of tone-deaf idiots who don’t get that.

          Good thing this isn’t a funeral then and instead is the birth of their child. It’s stressful and painful, sure, but it’s supposed to be a joyful event.

            You have apparently never attended a birth. Joy comes when everything is done. Before that it’s a few hours of grueling pain, often accompanied with heavy injuries like a perineal tear. As in, vagina and vulva ripped up to the asshole.

            That’s not joyous and definitely not a place for dumb jokes that you’d expect from a school kid, not from a grown adult who’s sole purpose on being there is to provide support.

          Having a baby is the same as the funeral of your life partner? Lol please Google false equivalency.

          I see that on another comment you think this shirt will lead to suicide so we clearly don’t see the world the same way

            You don’t get it. Apparently you neither have a wife nor kids. Lets hope it stays that way.

            Please watch a birth video and the go google post partum depression. And if you ever plan to get serious with a woman, please tell her your views so she has a fair chance to reconsider.

              Because I know how to identify and call out logical fallacies that may mean I don’t have a family? You’re a trip.

                No, it’s not the fallacy. It’s your complete disregard of what an immensly painful, dangerous and generally taxing task a birth is.

                But thanks for confirming that you have never spoken to a woman.

                Kiddo, you’ll grow up as well, hopefully.

                Go watch a birth video, read a bit about common birth injuries like perineal tears and google “post partum depression”.

                That’s stuff people don’t really talk about, and thus kiddos think a birth is the way Disney would portray it.

                  Oh blah blah blah. I’ve sat through 2 births dummy. The first one took over 24 hours in the hospital. Do you really think that entire 24 hours was just her screaming? No, we talked we joked we watched TV. We talked shit to our unborn baby to hurry the hell up so we could go home.

                  I get it, you want to win this argument but you’re being irrational so your only hope is that I know as little about child birth as you do so you attack my fabricated lack of experience. That’s another logical fallacy, please Google ad hominem then go take a break from lemmy.

                    So you watched two easy live births by a woman who got lucky that she didn’t have any major injuries to her or to her baby.

                    You practically know it all, don’t you?

                    You practically know how every single birth goes for every single woman out there. Super easy, no problem at all, right?

                    Since you like fallacies so much, here we go:

                    • Argument from anecdote
                    • Survivorship bias
                    • Fallacy of Composition

                  I don’t know why you bother arguing. Mr. ‘I’ve sat through 2 live births’ here is clearly the expert on the subject matter here because every birth is exactly the same as what his partner went through and nothing has ever gone wrong for other people in the history of every birth.

                  I mean, look at him, he sat there. He’s practically experienced what childbirth is like for every mother in existence.

      “Damn, this is going to be a tough time for her. Better be sure to make zero effort to inject levity, or take her mind off it, or remind her that I’m also here to take responsibility for my part in this life we’re creating. She should remain 100% FOCUSED on how painful and humiliating this experience is for her. For the entire 20 hours she’s in labor. Just going to continuously remind her to keep breathing. So she knows how much I support her. Yup, that tracks.”

      You must be a fun person to go through traumatic experiences with lol.
