When To Tell Work I'm Expecting (Male)

[Anonymous]

I'd tell after the 20 week ultrasound. Then you can tell everyone the sex when sharing the news. I'd tell your boss first, to give him/her a heads up you'll be out for a few weeks in the summer, and then just start dropping it into conversation with other coworkers. If you want to it spread fast, tell the office gossip.

lol +1. In liberal ass DC, apparently they do. Guess his wife wears the pants.

You are so manly that you didn't take any time to bond with your newborn after their birth! Manly men don't stop workin' for nothin'.

OP here. I actually didn't say that. Go bak and read the OP. I said: "My wife is pregnant and we're expecting our first child this summer. Very exciting!"

Also, thanks for your valued input.

At least one of you should take your career seriously. 3 weeks off so you can sit around the house and watch your wife nurse the baby? Give me a freaking break.

Ha, the career's doing great actually. And, thankfully 3 weeks won't hold it back, at all. Carry on though.

I don't see why men do this.

Because they are lazy?

What a letdown.

I read your title a bit too literally.

Me too! I thought this was a trans man who hadn't told work about his gender assigned at birth. This is a very disappointing thread.

OP here. We're currently about 18 weeks pregnant.

Op

I think people were referring to this comment. Personally, I think it is great you want to bond with your baby and help your wife! But, as others have stated "you are not pregnant"

And the irony of it all is that they'll formula feed instead of breast feed so both would sit around for 4 months twiddling thumbs.
