    It’s socially normal to say this, somehow.

      I don’t understand people who don’t understand this. Are you actually confused? Do you not understand having a baby is a life event and the announcement isn’t that you are having sex, but that you are looking to take a big step forward?

      Everytime you have a birthday do you think of your parents fucking?
      I never understood this line of thought.

      Of you hear people announcing a big step in their lives and all you can think about is that then that’s on you.

      I would consider myself semi-puritan but everytime I see this I laugh. It misses the whole point and is super childish for no reason coming from adults.

      I just think this is weird to say because so many things can go wrong. I had a cousin who kept saying this and then kept having miscarriages and had to traumatically keep explaining that over and over again because everyone knew she was trying and there was no baby for years. For me it’s better to announce a pregnancy when it’s safer and further along.

      When I here people say this it always makes my mind jump to infertility

      We are fucking a lot and we are trying for a child is not the same at all.

      Im trying for a child as we speak. Its hard to explain but there is a fucking and there is a “i need to lay in this position and with this temperature and you can not have hot balls sex”

      If you are really trying for a baby, you are probably only fucking 3 days in a month

      I never have understood people who use this meme.

      Trying a baby has nothing to do with you declaring people about your sex life, but about telling how you want to make a giant step in life that likely turn people to grandparents or even grand grand parents and uncles and aunts.

      Its a huge thing.

      It can also mean “We’re rawdogging to a calendar schedule”. Which is also a weird thing to know about your friends.

      It’s a cultural thing, in some cultures you don’t ask when a baby is due because that’s considered equivalent to asking when they had sex

      ‘Scuse me I gotta go launch a shit out of my ass.

      There’s kids around? Okay and?

    26. NoBizlikeChloeBiz on

      Normalize gay/lesbian couples saying this at family gatherings.

      Nothing yet, but we’re trying our damnedest.

    27. Albus_Lupus on

      Tell people its TMI – and if they ask why would trying for a baby be too much information – just describe the action in a very high detail. Im sure they wont tell you that twice.

      *I do not need to know you have been raw doggin your wife every evening, dumping a fat load into her.*

    28. TheAnswerUsedToBe42 on

      2 different activities. Trying for a baby is all about calculated timing and optimizing reproductive environments.

    29. gothsophiaa on

      announcing trying for a baby at family dinner is just a socially acceptable way to overshare your bedroom life

    32. bangbangracer on

      Not exactly the same. You would be amazed at how unsexy trying for a baby really is.

    33. TheWiseAutisticOne on

      Don’t understand why sex is still such a taboo subject in America since I’m guessing what this post is referencing. Last I checked the rest world with the exception of some places doesn’t care too much about this.

    35. quane101 on

      Hmm the former is vulgar, and has no point.
      The latter is announcing plans to make a family member.
      Don’t get mad cause you can’t take a little subtext.

    36. TheBestofBees on

      Man, trying for a baby can get really emotionally fraught. I’m glad my friends told me so I could be happy for them or supportive if need be.

      Deciding to have a child is a big life decision and it’s a bit immature imo to act like knowing how babies are made is at all titilating.

    37. mindgardening on

      My partner and I are definitely fucking a lot.

      We are NOT trying for a baby.

    38. kibbeuneom on

      Man she got pregnant with all my kids before we even had a chance to “try”

    40. 587493 on

      Realistically you could say you are fucking alot and nobody would care lmao, unless its like parents or something

    44. StackOfCups on

      Sometimes people are explicit about not having kids. They might also have struggled to have children in the past. By announcing you’re trying, it’s also indicating you’re ready for the next chapter, and are adjusting lifestyle choices. Sometimes this can have a very large social impact, and can also prepare future grandparents for new incoming family. Anyway, there’s more to it than that even, but it’s fare more than just “ya we’re totally banging now”.

      Same as when you introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend to your parents, essentially saying you’re jibberjabbing this person.
