What?

mrsconn23 · August 2015

Husband uses toilet pee to take pregnancy test for woman and 'surprise' her with the results. I mean, at least he didn't shove it up there while she was sleeping...but still...WTF?

That was.... odd. I mean at least she was excited to find out, and not mad about it. Kids were cute though.

I also thought it was weird, but it seemed somewhat staged. I also admit to being jaded by the internet and video bloggers.

That's just gross and weird and gross. Did he really have to video the toilet and the pee being put on the test? gross.

"there's a baby in my tummy!"

- so wouldn't go over in our house. Wolverine would be like, "no, there's a baby in your uterus."

My first thought as well. This statement makes me unreasonably mad.

They posted a follow-up over the weekend that they miscarried. I feel bad for them.

But maybe let's let the test dry and see a doctor next time before making a clip that goes around the world twice?

You have got to be fucking joking. That is so sad to hear, but exactly why they tell you wait to tell people until you are further along. How sad that they had to make a clip to hundreds of thousands of strangers $:\$

Semi related but I was watching an episode of Botched where a similar thing happened. A woman in her 40s (I believe) went in and they told her they had to wait on the surgery because she was pregnant, so her and her FI found out on camera from the doctors that she was pregnant. At the end of the episode they had text explaining that she had a misacarriage.

So toilet pee is concentrated enough to get a + on a pee stick?

I'm probably just cynical, because I don't believe any of it. Team Varuna!

ETA: the entire thing seems unpalatably AW-ish.

I'm seeing speculation in online comments that they faked all of it in an attempt to push forward anti-choice rhetoric. I really hope that it's not true and they're just wacky Christian 'vlog' youtube 'stars' and not totally garbage people.

Do they have other things on their channel that are anti-choice?

I honestly haven't gone down that rabbit hole because I don't have the time and I don't want to give them any more clicks (because they annoy me, for the most part). I think the anti-choice thing is mostly speculative, but people were posting links and such to some of their other stuff that is supposedly leans heavily to the Christian side of things. But the husband was drinking a beer in one video, so they may not be as bad as say the Duggars or their ilk.

The whole toilet pregnancy test gave me the icks because a) it trampled on her autonomy as a person and b) just gross. Let her have the POAS moment and find out that way.

*Barbie* · August 2015

this whole thing seems ridiculously fake - like, "Hey TLC, we hear the Duggar scandal has left you with an opening for some new warriors for Jesus in your lineup. We could be those warriors! Jesus!"

DH and I also thought the announcement video was fake.

I normally don't care when people decide to make their announcement - it's their decision. But when this couple talked about how heartbroken their 5 yo was to hear the news, well, I hope they think about her next time around, though they have already stated they will announce early again.

Wow, these people are even bigger AWs than I thought.

daughter's name is SYMPHONY? oh, go diaf

hmonkey · August 2015

and abram is the son's name? that is the white people version of "anfernee."

MNNEBride · August 2015

Abram is actually a biblical name. It was the original name of Abraham.

hmonkey · August 2015

and the Lord himself changed it to "abraham." so these people know better?

GBCK · August 2015

I knew an Abram once. I'm fairly sure WW would have collectively hairy-eyebrowed him (but I found him amusing and odd).

He wore a piece of rope as a belt constantly at fancypants school for the rich. I'm fairly sure his pocket change could have bought my soul, but he tied up his pants with clothesline to make a statement.

Sorry to bump and old-ish thread, but apparently homeboy had an AM account. FI just told me this and I was pretty surprised:
http://gawker.com/viral-christian-pregnancy-youtuber-sam-rader-had-a-paid-1725258643

Apparently he had a video on youtube where him and his wife convinced their daughter that gay marriage was wrong and was forced to take it down.

What?
