Cards signed "from richard, judy, DC and bump"

[Dozer]

Sure this has been moaned about many times before, but signing on behalf of the bump, bleugh!

My friends baby died at 12 hrs old. The next yr I got a card signed from them and 'bump'. I cried with joy for them. Why piss on someone elses parade?

I've never received a card from a bump and I wouldn't send one from a bump either. I'm due on 15th December and I'm not sending cards this year as I dan't want to write cards that aren't from the new baby, but don't like the idea of signing from bump, especially as I'll most likely have had him by Christmas.

Each to their own, but it's not for me.

Signet I do that too

Some people will find anything to sneer at.....I think it's sad. They are your friends for goodness sake - why not just be pleased for them and their exuberance.

What's the harm in it ??

I did this. I was so excited about having my son ... both my husband and I have fertility issues and were on the ivf waiting list when we found out I was pregnant on the same day our appointment came through..! If I could have signed my bank cheques from me and bump I would have :)

Embrace the joy. There's enough misery out there.

I think it's silly too OP. I would of course never say anything to the giver but would inwardly roll my eyes.

My sister called her second pregnancy Bump 2, and my boyfriend used to think he was hilarious for referring to it as Bump 2: Bump Harder, in an film voice-over voice

Anyone who does this should be shot at dawn.

I realised DH and I were being rather twee when we signed our card with our names, plus son's name and put his age in brackets, thinking people might be interested .
One card came back from an old universitay friend with his own age in brackets (48 or whatever) .

We've never made that mistake again !

I've been known to do this .

I feel like I have 2 children, although dc2 isn't born yet, so I want to include them.

I also sign from drove

Sign from the ddog! Bloody autocorrect.

Nope sorry this is bleugh. And usually done by the same people who put pictures of their babies on their facebook with captions in the first person from the baby eg:

'Mummy wants me to go to sleep but I just want to play'.

Bllleeeuuuggghhh!

YANBU. It's attention-seeking "aren't I clever for having a bump!!! I'm pregnant in case you'd forgotten!!!"

What happened to just letting people know you were pregnant, then enjoying it yourself and then sending out happy birth announcements when the time comes?

All this gushing is so tedious. Everyone's pleased for them but really, no-one wants the boasting and minuteae.

But surely she went through the menopause live on TV?
