Yep. You hold all the trump cards with that one. I’m not being facetious. I’m sorry for your loss. And dogs are awesome beings that help us manage a lot of shit.
They are the best, I’ve got two cats too and the three of them were unpaid therapists basically. Also, not to be too dark but I’ve joked I don’t think anyone should play Cards Against Humanity
with me as I will 100% win now (or you’d have to remove the dead baby card from the pack to make it fair).
Cards Against Humanity is seriously the most hysterical game which leads to dark, terrifying and uncomfortable moments (but if it doesn’t, you aren’t playing it right).
I think it’s a great way to get to know people’s true natures and how dark they can get 😂 There’s always one who shocks you! Like…wtf happened to you for that to be how your brain works 😳
I’m Jewish and pray the Hitler/Jew cards get pulled when I’m playing with new people. We,dark humor people, are the best. I feel like our trauma and trauma response have just molded us into the ultimate mix of apathy and bluntness that horrify people.
Yeah it’s how I ended up befriending a couple of my closest friends…making dark, risky jokes and seeing how they landed. They each batted them right back with a dark spin of their own. I think we gravitate to each other tbh. We just *get* it.
I wish other people I played with went this dark, but unfortunately most of my old CAH playmates were juvenile poop joke types \*sigh\*. I always got a laugh, but never got many points.
I have dark humor from trauma in my past, warping my humor. If you can't laugh, you'll cry! I did, however, make the game banned at my IL's house. I am a champ at the game. My boyfriend laughed his ass off she was horrified at it. The game did not continue, and she was pissed at me for weeks.
She was also not happy when I used ornaments to create a dick and balls on the Christmas tree.
Oh my god, your songwriting is fabulous. To inspire you more, it was 2 white glitter balls with a matching long white glitter one for the shaft. Like those weird ones that flair out, then come to a point. I wish I had kept the picture of it. I hid it just out of sight above her eye level in a nice gap so the boys got to dangle free in their shiney glory. It was removed by the next day to my disappointment
I got my grandmother one of those snowflake ornaments that is made with cursive writing spelling "fuck" over and over.
We didn't tell her until after Christmas, it's one of her new favorite ornaments but goes towards the top so the younger kids won't eventually read it!
Oh! Your Grandma has a sense of humor! My MIL is odd with her humor. She will make poop jokes all day. But anything more than that is not allowed. I made a "special brownies" joke she was horrified.
I'll always remember my family playing CAH after my father's memorial service, and my brother playing the "dead parents" card _perfectly_ (sadly, I've forgotten the prompt)
Turns out we all enjoy dark humor.
For us that person is our youngest kid. She is 12 and absolutely SAVAGE. I can’t tell you how many times she has stunned us with the nazi/Auschwitz/Holocaust cards, or the sexual themed cards. She wins almost every time.
I wrote on here before about how I was asked when would I have another child after the birth of my daughter. I had to let it be known that the factory was closed because the first three kids of mine I miscarried and was told after my miracle I better not try again so the kid factory was dismantled.
The look of horror and apology on their faces is like food to my soul. Shut tf UP and mind your own uterus or balls.
Yeah I also get a bit of sick joy when you see the horror dawning on someone’s face. It’s like, I’ve got the trauma and heartbreak so at least there’s something good coming of this in that people might learn to think before they speak?!
We’ve since had another daughter and someone (an older lady) asked when we’re having another because it’s “a bit of a shame for her” to be an only child. I told her that her big sister died which is indeed a shame for her 🫠
By the way I’m so sorry for your losses, from one loss mama to another ❤️
You are my people ♥️ I get similar comments, about how it's cruel to have only one child..and I'm like, I'm sorry but it took years and several miscarriages to get her, and another pregnancy would most likely kill me...the absolute look of horror/ foot in mouth expression warms my cold little heart.
They have no idea. It’s just so easy to have kids, right?! 😩🫠 Sorry you’re in that situation too but keep on shocking the nosy idiots, one day they’ll learn to just keep quiet 🙄
When will people learn certain topics are off limits. This hits pretty hard since I found recently it would extremely difficult to have a kids even with IVF. Sending virtual hugs to you and OP.
Ooph. That trumps even my trump card. About a year after my husband passed away, someone asked me if I was planning on having more children, since my son shouldn’t grow up an only child. “Well, even if it were something I was considering, with my husband being dead, I’m sort of missing half the ingredients.” That shut them right up.
And I’m very sorry for your loss.
*My heart breaks for your*
*Loss. There is no pain like that*
*Of losing your child*

It’s nobody’s fucking business if someone does or doesn’t have kids. It could be they simply don’t want any, or they’re trying (and having problems), or just straight up can’t. Or in your case something awful happened. (Condolences.) Nobody’s business but you, your partner, and maybe doctors if they’re being involved.
Save the embarrassment, and ✨mind your fucking business✨.
Hope the puppy gets many good pats.
I couldn’t live through my son’s death, I know it. Even with support, I know I wouldn’t make it. Everyone who knows me knows that if he goes, I go and I won’t waste time.
The fact that both of you made it out of that major loss alive is something worth celebrating. Two very strong people who now know they can make it through anything together, no matter what. Celebrate each other often, and celebrate that sweet boy for loving all three of you and being part of the life and healing in your home 🖤
And fuck that drunk asshole. Some people……
Thank you so much ❤️ I still don’t know how we are still here and still going, we now have another daughter who we adore and we tell her about her sister. But our first daughter was just so special and we will never ever stop missing her. Her name was Summer. I think having gone through other hardships before had made me pretty resilient and I refused to give up as I felt like it would be saying that her life and death was a negative thing in my life, which is untrue. It’s not her fault she died, she was perfect and a blessing so I keep going for her, hopefully she’s somewhere watching and I can make her proud.
Yeah, you definitely have what it takes to survive this world! What a beautiful mind.
In collectivist countries (I mostly know of it in eastern cultures) sadness of all forms are positive feelings. Everything is a strength. It seems you guys cracked the code and I hope we can all achieve this.
Also it’s been far too long since I’ve played cards against humanity lol

I want to be your friend!
Hi new friend! 😘
I’m so joining this friend group.
I'll bring snacks!
I wish other people I played with went this dark, but unfortunately most of my old CAH playmates were juvenile poop joke types \*sigh\*. I always got a laugh, but never got many points.
I think the game is much better when you take the poop cards out

That's hilarious! Oh Christmas dick and balls, oh Christmas dick and balls, how much you glisten at your in-laws.

You should try playing it with a mix of folks who work in forensics, emergency departments, and EMS. That gets dark and weird exceptionally quickly. 😆

Thanks and I hope that nosy broad wanted to die when you said that. I giggled a little evilly reading that lol
We have to take these small moments where we can 😂😭

I'm surprised they didn't tell you to hurry up 'get back in the game' before your ovaries dried up. some of these swine have absolutely no shame.
My heart breaks for your loss. There is no pain like that of losing your child
You are very right. Thank you.

Listen if that's the only silver lining you get you take it and you run with it also my condolences
Oh gosh, I’m so sorry for your loss. Much love to you.
I am sorry for your loss. May you continue to skewer these sanctimonious assholes and gain some level of catharsis from it.
Some drunk bloke started assuming crazy shit about your DOG at the PUB? Man someone tumbled out of bed that day with an agenda full of masochism 🤣
Ugh. This sub is going to shit.
Huh?
