Dears, here's a list of what NOT to say to couples waiting to conceive. Help me to retweet and share to the wuzzup group and DMs of people who need to see it.
Today, I'm here to distribute kindness to those who pretend not to know what it means.
Here we go:

Here we go:
1. "Ah, sorry o, let my husband touch me small, na belle. Thank God I don't have this issue, I don't know what I would have done."
Dear, you don't have fertility issues but your other issues are many, one of them being a passively aggressive privileged braggart. It's not cute.

2. "Just keep trying, it will happen for you don't worry."
E ni pe? Don't worry? Just keep trying?
Has the couple been playing? Oh, they should try harder abi? People that have s3x everyday and 3 times a day during ovulation should try harder?
Sodiq, I'm talking to you.

3. Send them a text on Mother's Day: "I'm thinking of you, don't worry we will celebrate with you next year."
Aunty Shakira fakafiki, the couple have forgotten it's Mother's Day but well done to you for reminding them and making them sad.

4. "You can't understand what I'm going through, just wait till you have kids.": Osheyyy Faith Evans. I know you speak in faith but you also diminished their sense of understanding to child bearing.
You didn't mean anything by it but that's just insensitive.

5. While carrying a baby and admiring them, "chai. that baby suits you.": FORGHUSAKE! Can one enjoy baby powder and cute smiles in peace without being reminded of their childlessness?
6. "I know you have "failed" to conceive all these years...":
Stopeeeettt. The inability to conceive is not a failure or an injustice, it is a fact. It happens, it could happen to anyone, stop piling on guilt on someone who's already self-hating, anxious and stressed.

7. "Just go and adopt.": So you believe the couple don't know about adoption? They are dealing with infertility, adoption isn't the cure. Until they're ready, don't force adoption down their throat and make them feel hopeless.
8. To the woman, "Have you gone for tests?":
Yup, go on, pile on the blame on the woman, since it now takes one person to tango.
Mummy GO, move back, a little backer, we need her husband to step forward.
