that’s incredibly prudish to not even want someone to say they’re trying for a baby.

    It's weird for two reasons. One, if you struggle to get pregnant it puts a lot of external pressure on you and you'll have to go back and let people know you're potentially infertile. Two, talking about biological things isn't appropriate in some settings. I don't want to hear about your colonoscopy. I don't want to hear that you're raw dogging your wife. I don't want to hear about you surgery. Sir, this is a Wendy's.

    That sounds lonely. We all live together. Sharing is a much better default than walling everyone off and judging everyone for sharing really basic parts of life is kind of sad. Obviously there are limit, but “we’re trying to have a baby” and “I’m having surgery” shouldn’t be something that we’re pressured to not share.

    I find it more weird that your coworkes talking about trying to get a child results in you imagening them "raw dogging".

    When one of my coworkers had a child born i also didn't make a point of imagening the delivery process. I just congratulated them and asked them jokingly how much sleep they caught the last night.
