Nope.

KittensoftPuppydog · 06/01/2014 17:50

Yanbu. At all.

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 06/01/2014 17:50

rather that than we are up the duff

MrsLouisTheroux · 06/01/2014 17:51

I really don't like that OP! YANBU!

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/01/2014 17:51

Yabu - you should hate the men and women who say it.

It makes me cringe to the extent I'm sure it shows quite obviously all over my face that I'm thinking "dickheads".

IamGrimalkin · 06/01/2014 17:52

You are definitely not being unreasonable!

WorraLiberty · 06/01/2014 17:52

YANBU!

I can't stand men or women saying it.

I wonder if they'd say the same thing if their dog/cat was up the duff?

ApocalypseThen · 06/01/2014 17:53

Possibly. I'm no bigot - I hate any of them who try to make the process of pregnancy and childbirth about them and who imply that they're equal shareholders in the process, regardless of how they phrase it, equally.

YANBU!

Babymamaroon · 06/01/2014 17:54

YANBU! As far as I know, no man can get pregnant! Once knew a chap who declared "oh we can't make such and such party, we're breastfeeding". Give me strength.

nennypops · 06/01/2014 17:54

YANBU. I find myself wanting to ask the man in that situation when his last period was, how he's coping with sickness and constantly rushing to the loo, and whether he's given up alcohol, smoking and all those other nasties for his foetus' sake.

ApocalypseThen · 06/01/2014 17:54

Poor man. Hope the birth was easy for him.

YANBU, but it's a bit better than "I've babbied her up"

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 06/01/2014 17:56

But it's nice when a fella says 'we've got our period'

NB never heard this in real life.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 06/01/2014 17:57

YANBU- I can't stand it.

As an aside, DH was given this book by SIL when I was pregnant with dc1. He was not impressed.

Rhubarbgarden · 06/01/2014 17:57

Doesn't really bother me. I do find people referring to their unborn child as 'bean', 'lentil' etc pretty irritating though.

MrsLouisTheroux · 06/01/2014 17:57

'We're breast feeding' ?! Shock

WorraLiberty · 06/01/2014 17:58

I think I'd drop dead if women started saying, "We've got an erection" Grin

MrsLouisTheroux · 06/01/2014 17:59

worra Grin

cuttingpicassostoenails · 06/01/2014 17:59

It's the Royal We...innit?

WorraLiberty · 06/01/2014 18:00

We've got an itchy ball bag....

EmmaFreudsGivingMeJip · 06/01/2014 18:03

My DH said this once. Once. When I was in the throes of hyperemesis. I screeched 'oh are we??and do you feel like your teeth are about to fall out too? do you piss yourself when you puke?is your hair falling out, do you have sciatica?NO?I thought not. say it again and you're dead to me'.

I don't feel I over reacted.

'We're pregnant' my arse.

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/01/2014 18:06

maras2 · 06/01/2014 18:06

Thank God it's not just me.
