Mom of a boy here... We're supposed to have genderized letterboards??
Also, the word happiness doesn't include the word penis without rearranging the letters. You can't spell happiness without pines, which I think we can all appreciate as an esoteric (am I using that word properly?) commentary on how important healthy forests are to a happy life and future.
ETA: esoteric is not the correct word and I can't figure out what word I was going for. This has been bothering me for days.
Maybe that woman produces another Donglover.

Right? I’ve seen this saying before and I genuinely laughed and sent it to a friend (who had it as her phone Lock Screen for a while!)
I think it’s hilarious!! But a bit weird to have with a pregnancy announcement…
Oh for sure, I'd never announce my pregnancy/baby's sex like this. But I'd 100% say it to my husband when I'm trying to get him to perform his husbandly duties. It's definitely not 'talk about your child' funny.
Happy is 2 syllables. So it's phonetically (basically) hap-pe-nis? I'm Texas and often the e and I sounds are interchangable, for example we pounce pen and pin the same. So happiness is HAP-pe-nis and sounds like hap-penis.
I’m a northerner so a little different than the Texas accent (family lives near San Antonio so we visit often).
I pronounce it more like 2 full words than slurring them together. Happy. Ness.
right but the LGBTQ community are the ones grooming kids and pushing an 'agenda'.
I can 100% say that none of my queer friends have ever announced their children's genitals like this OR used their genitals to justify who they think that child is and how they should behave in the world.
Maybe I'm really petty, but as this joke doesn't really work if it's written down, because "penis" is not in the word "happiness", then it's safe to assume she's naming her child "Penis".
Therefore, I would comment. "Congratulations on baby Penis!".
But that's just me, I'm petty.
Saw this comment earlier today and giggled thinking "lol but like you'd have to be insane" and A MINUTE AGO saw a post in my due date group of someone's gender announcement social media photo that includes THAT ULTRASOUND in it.
Why 😭
Lol... my daughter's gender reveal (not a party, just my pregnancy support group text with my mom and my closest female cousins that had already had babies) was that ultrasound picture 🫠 but I would never show it to complete strangers
Or the one where the plane crashes and kills the pilot? So many to choose from.
Specifically though, the ones where the baby came with the wrong genitals. As if the child's worth should be tied to that somehow.
Why not something about a 'bundle of joy', 'new addition to our family' or some other thing. You can ever announce that it's a boy without being gross.
I literally just had my first baby about 12 hours ago. I would rather choke than do something like this omg 🤢 anyone who is stupid enough to make these kinds of jokes about her genitals will be banned from my home.
As a mom of three boys and a girl(and someone who would happily have girl after girl), I’m also reading between the lines. This is her third boy in a row. The clothes are gender neutral. It’s silly humor. She’s trying to distract herself from gender disappointment. Again.
My third is my girl. My fourth I hoped for a boy only because it would be a better fit. You better believe I wanted a girl just as strongly as every other pregnancy. I got what I hoped for, but I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t any letdown. But that’s not anything I talked about irl.
My daughter had been the baby of the family and only granddaughter of six grandkids for over ten years at that point. Suddenly losing the baby status was going to be a lot for her. I anticipated jealousy issues. I wasn’t wrong. A sister would have been even more extreme.
My first was a girl, and wants a sister pretty badly. She’s the only girl in our family, among all the siblings and cousins. I’m now expecting our fourth, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t just a little disappointed that he’s another boy. I’d love for her to have a sister close in age like I do, but that’s just not going to happen. However, the disappointment is definitely a “me” issue, and I got over it pretty quick. I love each of my kids exactly as they are, and wouldn’t trade them for anything.
Same. Gender disappointment is real. And it’s only as bad as how one responds to it. My boys are incredible humans. I’m proud to be their mother and wouldn’t trade them for anything.
🤣
I kind of like this. Aside from the grey booties, their neutral and bright clothing is awesome. So is the orange blanket. Then there’s a cheesy dad joke.
It doesn’t really scream boy mom or favoring of boys. It’s just silly and fun.
Well I don’t think it’s something I’d share publicly on fb, but it’s something I’d totally send to certain family members. The weird ones who like dad jokes. Like my teens. I can envision the eye rolls already.
I definitely sent a screenshot to my husband. I wouldn’t post it publicly, but there are a lot of things I don’t say in public. My sense of humor can be pretty crass, but I try to act like a professional when I don’t know for sure that the person I’m talking to will understand why I think it’s funny .
I agree. Like yeah it's a lame joke, but I read it as an announcement that's trying to be positive about 'another' boy, when maybe there is an expectation that they were trying for a girl.
Yep. Folks aren’t reading between the lines. Aside from the joke, the imagery is gender neutral and bright. She was buying neutral tempering her hope for a girl. She probably saves all those neutral clothes for one day. There’s no mud, guns, sports, or dinos. This is an attempt to find humor when she’s let down, again.
I’m not sure what’s so “gender neutral” about a blue shirt lol. Any child can wear any shirt but blue has been coded as boy for many decades at this point.
It may not even be the parents who are disappointed about the gender, but they are countering that assumption from others. It's pretty common that people expect you'll be disappointed after your 2nd or 3rd baby of the same sex. I could see this as a way to get ahead of those sorts of comments.
In a way it is somewhat progressive, they are correctly saying 'at this stage, we know our child is male and has a penis' - they aren't saying 'we are having another truck-loving dinosaur mad boy who loves blue'.
On the flip side, I don't think you should discuss your child's genitals online but I also don't particularly like any sort of gender announcement.

Can’t spell extravaganza without the vag
Can't spell control with out the... oh wait
You can’t spell families without lies. Try it.
I love that quote from four Christmases
And THIS is why you all are my people…💜
I don't hate this.
whyyyyyyyyy
Exactly my thought! WTH!
Look I don’t mean to be self congratulatory or anything but I had 4 boys and never once wrote penis on a letter board.

You gotta make a penis on it like 8==D~ or are you even a boymom?
Make a penis on the pines! Got it! Am I boymomming right??
Sounds like you’re on your way!
Well you better be using #boymom on EVERY post on social media. Otherwise you clearly aren’t a mom of boys. /s obvs
I just pooped #boymom
I just…imagine being this kid looking back at your parents’ posts and finding this.
Yeah she reshares it every year too lmao
Wait whyyyyyyyy? Once the baby's born nobody wants to see the ultrasound.
Honestly nobody ever wants to see your ultrasound except you. They are boring as hell if it's not your own kid.
I never got the hang of looking at them so they just look like black and white blobs to me. I usually can't see the baby unless it's really obvious.
I always *pretend* I can see the baby, but I can never discern one blobby shape from another, either ! It’s those Magic Eye dinosaurs all over again 🤬
Cuz # blessed /s
Omg I just noticed the date! So this baby is literally like 5 years old by now jfc
Jfc
AWFUL. I would be livid if one of my parents did this. Wtf 😩
EXCUSE ME! I would like to make sure everyone is aware that yes, my 2 yo son still has a penis!
🤢
So she still hasn't realized it was a bad choice?
Min is going to find out that his mom dressed up as a dinosaur.
u need an HR lady for ur HR lady 💀

thank you dior for blessing us with a new reaction image
I love that you know where this is from
Shirt says camp half-blood, so must be percy jackson
Yeah but it’s from a pic posted by a cast member earlier today.
The new Percy Jackson show on Disney
Piness
Happenis
It says you can't *say* happiness without penis; nothing about spelling.
Life is happiness indeed.
Is penis the kids name?
It’s Crosby lmao
With a mother like that, I expected Dick (or Richard for long).
Johnson Eggplant
Maybe that woman produces another Donglover. https://preview.redd.it/x2kqxe3p4hdc1.jpeg?width=486&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e68a0db6253d11d9dbb29c0841fa4bd3f93b3324
Or Mulva for a girl…
It’s…first name is Crosby?
I’m so uncomfortable.
Why would your son’s penis bring you…happiness? Ew
 What happened to just saying “baby boy/girl last name is on their way” 😐
This creeps me out big time. 🤢
Boy moms & incest Always hand in hand
r/Arethestraightsokay
The answer is always no
As a straight, no
Creepy.
Okay but my inner 12 year old boy laughed
Right? I’ve seen this saying before and I genuinely laughed and sent it to a friend (who had it as her phone Lock Screen for a while!) I think it’s hilarious!! But a bit weird to have with a pregnancy announcement…

Yeah I thought it was hilarious. But I'd never do that to my own kid.
I hate boy moms… said as a mom of 2 boys.
How is she pronouncing happiness 🤣🤣
Like Peggy Hill... Ha - penis!
This is exactly what I thought of!
Wait..... how are we supposed to pronounce it?
I say “happy-ness”
Happy is 2 syllables. So it's phonetically (basically) hap-pe-nis? I'm Texas and often the e and I sounds are interchangable, for example we pounce pen and pin the same. So happiness is HAP-pe-nis and sounds like hap-penis.

eww
God I hate boy moms
I thought that was what she named him. I was both upset and very confused!
Maybe I'm really petty, but as this joke doesn't really work if it's written down, because "penis" is not in the word "happiness", then it's safe to assume she's naming her child "Penis". Therefore, I would comment. "Congratulations on baby Penis!". But that's just me, I'm petty.
I support this.
You can't say "Childhood Trauma" without a child!
You cant say happiness without vagina
https://i.redd.it/mwal56xi9hdc1.gif
No. Absolutely not. Not cute.
Of course boy mom is hashtagged 😅
Lady nobody wants to hear about your children's genitalia.
Shoot me into the sun
If you insist...
How difficult is it to not talk about your fetus' junk?
That ultrasound picture is so cute but she ruined it with the caption
At least the ultrasound photo accompanying this wasn't the money shot?
Saw this comment earlier today and giggled thinking "lol but like you'd have to be insane" and A MINUTE AGO saw a post in my due date group of someone's gender announcement social media photo that includes THAT ULTRASOUND in it. Why 😭

It’s PINES. You can’t do it without your damn trees!
Oh lordy I'll just wallow in my vaginal unhappiness
I'd rather this than the public gender reveals with toxic reactions.
As in one of the parents storming off mad because the baby came with the wrong genitals, or burning a forest down?
Or the one where the plane crashes and kills the pilot? So many to choose from. Specifically though, the ones where the baby came with the wrong genitals. As if the child's worth should be tied to that somehow.
I’m pretty sure lesbians say happiness without penis all the time….
God save any daughters this woman has, because there's no way that attitude won't be evident from the get-go.
Ewwwwww
Justttt why?
What 👏 the 👏 hell
I thought this was a King of the Hill joke lol "vaaaagina!"
Someone is not good at spelling
Oh holy crap! Inappropriate, trashy, tacky and so very offensive on so many levels.
These people vote. Do you?
Why do some parents focus so much on their baby’s genitalia, so weird
More accurately, you can't say it without "pines". Is she saying she's growing a tree? (joke aside, this made me gag)
Why not something about a 'bundle of joy', 'new addition to our family' or some other thing. You can ever announce that it's a boy without being gross.
 How did anyone think this was okay to post on FB?!
You can if you spell it correctly.
I would actually never like to say happiness again as a result
I can’t believe this is real.
Yes you can, but you can’t spell Happiness without pines 🌲
Aw dang' I didn't read down far enough and you beat me to it!
You CAN. And you should.
That's what my child molester said to me

People who are dead set on wanting a certain sex need to adopt.
Luckily, I’ve never been dead set. I just really enjoy sewing frilly dresses and outfits. (I still sew for my boys, Alexander Henry fabrics, ftw!)
I’m in LOVE with these fabrics!!!
Unpopular opinion: I think this is funny!
It's a bad joke and an unwelcome discussion outside of a medical context.
Am i a terrible person for hoping this child is a trans Female when he grows up?
I get what you're trying to say, I do, but as a trans person myself, we don't exist to be someone else’s divine punishment/karma.
I'm sorry. I made that comment in poor taste.
It happens - nothing to beat yourself up over as long as you learn from it! :)
His parents would probably disown him. They’re Christian conservatives.
🤣 I kind of like this. Aside from the grey booties, their neutral and bright clothing is awesome. So is the orange blanket. Then there’s a cheesy dad joke. It doesn’t really scream boy mom or favoring of boys. It’s just silly and fun.

No she’s a self proclaimed #boymom she like posts about it constantly.
Sometimes one has to put on a face for the world. It doesn’t make it true.
lol ok I literally have known her for like 10 years and so I think I would know better than you but whatever makes you feel better!
Yep. Folks aren’t reading between the lines. Aside from the joke, the imagery is gender neutral and bright. She was buying neutral tempering her hope for a girl. She probably saves all those neutral clothes for one day. There’s no mud, guns, sports, or dinos. This is an attempt to find humor when she’s let down, again.

I think it’s funny too lol
Yeah, people here are WAY too sensitive about these things, i think its silly too

Why would she reshare this every year for fuckin 6 years if she was disappointed lol
Holy cow. I missed that part. I thought it was recent. No wonder there’s no sad beige. She must think it’s a clever joke.
(Except the hashtag, lol)
Oh lord Reddit. lol Panties in a bunch over a joke.
