Wrong. My husband was so excited when I found our I was pregnant the first time. Everyday when I would come home from work he would ask how the baby was. I think he was more excited than I was! When his best friend found out his wife was pregnant he acted the exact same way.
These are anecdotes. There are just as many anecdotes of guys who are less connected because the baby is not in them. This isn't a new or strange concept so I'm surprised by the flaming.
I have no idea what my husband will be like during pregnancy. I'm sure he'll be excited and scared all at the same time. I probably will be, too. But something tells me that he will be far more excited when there is a child to hold and cuddle than he will be during this abstract pregnancy time. I don't think that makes him weird.
What joy said. You can't expect everyone to react the same way (with excitement) to this kind of life-altering news. A mix of emotions is totally normal and ok and it doesn't mean the person doesn't want the child.
MH is not the type to immediately get excited, so a cutesy announcement would be lost on him. I've told him "I'm pregnant" four times now. Of course, after three losses, by the fourth time around fear tends to outweigh excitement anyway. But, even with the first two announcements, I knew MH well enough to know that he was going to be experiencing a whole host of emotions. (He has some baggage from his daughter's mom preventing him from being a part of the pregnancy, birth, and the first 5 months of his daughter's life.) But, just because MH wasn't outwardly, immediately excited when I told him I was pregnant, doesn't mean he didn't care, or that he doesn't want the baby, or that the excitement didn't start to grow over the next few weeks. He cried right along with me when we found out about our loss at 13 weeks. His attachment to our baby progressed over time, as my pregnancy progressed. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
I can't believe I read the whole thing. My brain feels like I just crammed for an exam.
Can you make a cliffnote for me? I'm pretty lazy.
or do you want a spark note? Did you graduate college in 2002?
There was a good one a few pages back. I'll link to it. brb.
EDIT: See page 12 This was followed by: trolling feels on cutsie pg announcements attending kiddo's extracurriculars what is going on in Smudge's mom's relationship (sorry, can remember tag :S) trying to get back to UOs and an awesome handjob gif
Can I just say I am SO HAPPY to see them called Caramel Delights?! I had to learn all new Girl Scout cookie names when I moved up north (trefoil? wtf? that's shortbread). Why are they different?
I grew up in MA and we had Caramel Delights and Shortbread etc. My friend in college was from northern MA near the NH border and called them Samoas, Trefoils, etc.
CT is Samoas and Trefoils. I wonder why MA is different?

Because MA is the rebel of New England. Doesn't follow the rules and always tries to cause trouble.
I can not stand Thin Mints. Caramel Delights are the bomb!

I always thought it was different in different regions based on who makes them. GSC are made by 2 different bakeries. I know one is the same Keebler uses which is why you can get thin mints (grasshopper) and Caramel Delites (Samoas.. aka coconut dreams) in the grocery store all year long!
