Enough already! It was cute at first when your wife and you had your 1st child, but having to listen to you everyday at work talk about your child, what your child did, what your child ate, what your child wears, when your child sleeps, what you child smiles at… fuck, it’s enough. We all get it. You’re over exuberant that you have a baby and everything is new to you. But please, leave your compulsive obsession with your baby at home and do not bring the topic into the work place. We’re sick of hearing about it. —I Want to Stuff Pampers Down Your Throat

At least they’re not going on about how hard they’re trying to get pregnant and whose fault it is and how much they’re spending on their IVF and that they have to re finance their house n shit..
Pretty sure that’s why on of my co workers now sits in a corner by herself.
“… now sits in a corner by herself” Lolz
We wants it, we needs it, must have the Precious
oh how that new baby smell wears off pretty damn quickly.
To be fair, I know how annoying that can be…
though I would take baby rambling all day over some of the colleagues I have to deal with.
hell, I’d subscribe to the 24×7 new baby podcast just to distract me.
It’s good that we have decent gun laws here in the land of the maple.
“…obsession with your baby …”
OB, don’t have children. They deserve better than to be ignored when the novelty wears off.
I don’t talk about my children, because I know other people don’t give a shit. I wish others did the same.
Most people, I think, INFY, are like you.. and obviously your kids are going to come up, but it just never occurs to some parents that people really don’t give a shit.
Start talking to them about something mind numbingly boring, or something that you know they’re not that interested in, and just go on and on and on.. they’ll get the hint.
OB when you have your first, you’ll be just as obnoxious about your bundle of shit filled Pampers.
OB wait until that shit of a kid grows up and causes all kinds of fuckery for the parents. It sounds like your coworker doesn’t have a life outside of his/her kid. BORING!
Steer the conversation, or if there are other parents who are interested, just come back later.
GV has a point, OP has a point… TJ, “sits in a corner” ROFL vivid mental imagery…
OP, If your work is anything like mine, maybe she’s sick of listening to every other conversation be about how whomever just left the group “…is such a douche-bag”, and “did you see mary’s shirt, it looks like her Dad made it and HE’s a half-wit”, and “Boy, the next time I see the boss I’m Gonna TELL HIM LIKE IT IS ooops here he comes maybe next time”, “Where’s the fax? Didn’t I ask YOU to do it?” or “Who fuckin made this coffee!!!??!! Oh, you… sorry, it’s uhhh, dee-lish”.
I hear that shit ALL day long, and I get looked down on as aloof because I don’t join in. Gawddam 12-year-olds…
start cornering her in the lunchroom and forcing her to look at all the photos of your tropical fish. (all 20343 photos)
Hopefully she’ll get the hint.

Why not just email her a bunch of BBQ recipes with the “meat choice” replaced with “baby”, I bet you don’t ever have to talk to him/her again.
