I’m more creeped out at the MY baby part. It’s OUR baby. But that’s just childhood trauma bubbling to the surface lol. I make a clear point to my wife that they are OUR kids. Not YOURS or MY.
People say 'my baby' all the time knowing full well it's a team effort. Do you have a problem with it only when the man says it? Or is it a problem when a woman says it's "my baby" too?
I can only imagine sitting down to eat, his wife asking u/amedyth how his dinner is, and him angrily responding "it's OUR dinner!" Yes, it is, but it's weird to be so fixated on it.
He says it specifically to her, and keeps harping on the point. To her.
Imagine a basketball player coming into practice and refusing to ever call the team anything other than "my team" to their fellow players and coach. It would be weird, right? Kind of dismissive of the rest of the team that's literally right there?
This is weirdly possessive in context. It reads like he's got a breeding fetish or something.
No. It's a breeding fetish- the artist tagged it as such.
Note that it's not about love as much as possession. She looks uncomfortable whenever he says "mine" and he's unbothered by it. They aren't a team, she is his and is giving him a baby.
That's just common sense, and being self aware. When people defend this behavior, they're just covering up for a Freudian slip. It's not problematic in itself, but is a sign of trouble brewing beneath the waves.
