I already gave one, quick way to notifying everyone.Which may be exactly what you need if you're expecting to start pushing the baby out at any moment.Depends on the individual and how you were raised.I assume you were raised with the "Doing things over the phone is rude for big deals" sort of mindset?Many people see technology like facebook as simply tools to accelerate the process of informing people.It's not rude at all to inform someone of news somewhere they probably check a lot, and where notifying everyone can take 2 minutes rather than say 2 hours.What one person thinks is rude is not rude in everyone's mind, cultural differences after all.You're hypothetical was having your water break. Not being with someone whose water broke. So the hypothetical I treated as assuming I myself was pregnant, hence hypothetical and why I felt the need to point that out being male.Cause it also notifies those you do care for maybe?You can set lists if you want for status to only show for those 'important people'.Plus some people restrict their friends list only for those they care for. Not everyone's adds every person they've seen the face of before.Also, just because someone may not be too close is no reason to avoid giving them said info.You have a kid, sure you won't go out of your way to tell them, but why complain about them knowing if they do happen to find out?Nice, poking fun at names. :PThat really shows maturity and helps your argument.

I know it's lots of money, lots of time, lots of effort too. I know that children can be little pains in the asses, break stuff, make your life a living hell sometimes. But I also know they can bring joy beyond imagining, and I know that they can sometimes be a hell of a lot smarter than adults. Yes, raising a child can be/often IS a royal pain in the ass. Yes they can be little shitheads sometimes and make you want to throw yourself out of the nearest window. I get it, I'm not completely naiive and stupid.BUT, with all the joy a child can bring, I just think for all the complaints about them, it'd be worth it. While I've never raised a child of my own, I've spent a lot of time around my own family...watched my cousins when my uncle had to go out, been around friends of my family who have kids. So I've seen how annoying they can be (my cousin made me want to toss him out of the airplane with parachute on his back LOL), BUT they can be really great too! I honestly want a child someday, so if I ever find anyone to be with in a romantic way, hopefully she'll either be up for adopting or is capable of having a child of her own.And I apologize for the sudden seriousness in an otherwise light-hearted topic D:
