Awkward Family Story: Indecent Proposal
June 9th, 2009
My wife and I were having trouble getting pregnant. One afternoon, my sister-in-law came over to my apartment while I was home alone. After a few moments of small talk she told me that she wanted to help us with our problem and would be willing to carry my baby. I assumed that she meant to say “our (me and my wife’s) baby.” But my sister-in-law clarified that she was only talking about me… awkward.

I want to know how long Roger and his sister-in-law have been trying to get pregnant too.
Oh, and congrats on that vasectomy too, Roger.
How hot is your SIL?
I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!! STORIES, PICS, IT’S ALL GOOD!! It cracks me up that there are folks out there who have time to write into a funny website like this and complain about a “gross breach of expectation”. OMG! I hope that person wasn’t serious!
But where is the accompanying photo? And what woudl it be of?
So how old is your kid now?
Good One.
What no photos to prove it?
I get the feeling that the Holidays at Roger’s will never be the same…
I enjoy this story and anyone complaining there is no picture, scroll past it!
Yikes! You guys will have an awesome family reunion!
Hell yes they will!
Roger–
That was supposed to stay between us.
Pam,
At least I didn’t give all the details of what happened after! …um, yeah.
Pam, I am not upset at you. I just need to know everything that happened, in as much detail as possible. Let me get a pen.
This is more of a story for FML.
Ahhh something wrong? I mean really?
Who cares if there’s no picture.. that’s why there’s a stories category. It’s a fun free site. The people who think they get to dictate how someone else runs their site need to learn the world does NOT, actually, revolve around them.
your “name” made me lol.
Exactly. Thank you.
That’s nothing but a misunderstanding.
You want awkward? Try having that same conversation with your brother-in-law.
Or better yet, your father-in-law.
Dude, what’re you thinking? if you play it right, just think – coming up, this time next year on Maury: “Roger, you ARE the father!”
Awkward, but hot!
Awkward Family Photos bravely breaks into photoless territory! Imaginations called in to “picture the scene” in your own mind!
I was forcibly taken back to the days of …………… gasp……….radio !
Did you tell your wife?
Also, those who are complaining that this isn’t a photo : If you disapprove, then don’t click on this particular post. Why do you care?
I care. I’m a visual person.
OK, but they also posted new photos today. What’s the harm in occasionally adding a non-picture post in addition to (not instead of) the photos? None of us is paying for site, so I can’t see why people are so bothered by it. If you don’t want to read it, scroll past it.
I mean, what if all the people in the photos aren’t actually family, as the title of the blog suggests. Is that bad too?
I’m also a visual person. more importantly I come to this site for awkward PHOTOS. to give me anything else is false advertisement and a viloation of an expressed verbal contract with the audience. a ‘non-picture,’ as you call it (I call it “a gross breach of expectation”) is misleading – I want to enjoy every aspect of the site – i don’t want to be forced to “scroll past” any content, but they are leaving me no choice with such shenanigans.
and yes, I’m upset when the subjects of the photos are NOT family. for reasons stated above. I also frown upon posted photos that are not really awkward.
@Denise and I’m with Denise – Wow, such bloody crywhiners. Suck it up, you two or gtfo.
The problem with posting stories is that there is no way to know if they are true. This one sounds fishy and we know from Wikipedia that people like to submit untrue information. With Wikipedia, though, editors can generally seek verification of a fact. In the case of family photos it comes down to asking the submitter if it really happened and them saying “yes”.
but if it entertains you, why does it matter if it’s true? did you get upset when you found out harry potter was fictional, too?
Wait! Wikipedia has untrue information? So much for my doctoral dissertation…
So, are you saying I can’t cite this story in my research report? Sheesh!
this post is a departure from an otherwise great concept for a site. keep to the title of the site or change it to “all things awkward”… slippery slope, that one.
Awkward letters to Penthouse?
ha ha ha so did you say yes? hahaha only kidding
So did you do it?
wow. awkward
Oh. My. Gosh.
Did you take her up on the offer?
GASP!!!
Dang, what is this, Big Love? Did you tell your wife?
Um…what happened? Now that you told that much..might as well tell us the rest.
“jerry..jerry..jerry’
LOL!!! Next step – he’ll be on Maury denying he’s the baby daddy!
With a sister like that, who needs enemies?
i can’t think of any non awkward way to respond.
yeah, same.
Was she thinking of giving the baby up when it was born? I guess not…
So how’s the baby coming along? Is he or she healthy?
ROFL!!!!! That’s AKWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bass akward!
Did you do it?
if by awkward, you mean AWESOME, you’re on to something…
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Depends was this a pretty sister or one who looks like my sister?
hubba
“My wife and I were having trouble getting pregnant.”
Yes, I would imagine that it would have been difficult for you to get pregnant. You’re a man, right? Sorry, but it sounds awkward to me when I hear people say “we’re pregnant”. You’re both expecting, but the woman is the pregnant one. Pregnant is a medical term. If the man is pregnant, too does it mean he can’t drink a beer, have an x-ray, or ride a roller coaster? Think about it.
isnt this website called Awkward Family Photo’s? Where is the Photo? You fail! get my compound bow out
So… did your wife think it was equally as awkward, or did she go find the shotgun?
Wow…just wow.
But how do you know that it is only your wife who has problems conceiving, it might be you as well…
and the awkwardness continues…
I want to know what the wife said!
“Dear Penthouse Letters – I never believed something like this would happen to me…”
*shudders*
pics or it didnt happen
YIKES!
The Swinger – II
But not an awkward photo.
that is quite an awkward story.
Did I stumble across the Penthouse Forum website?
My thoughts exactly, Esteban. I believe it’s from the March 1984 issue. Not like I subscribe, or anything ;^)
You should’ve photographed that moment.
