Question by wicked: Income pool for the child?
Ok so a guy’s wife at my job not too long ago had a baby. And my coworkers thought is would be amazing to have a “infant gift card and item basket” and while I can smile and nod and say congrats, I would not want to afford nor want to be included in this. So when my coworkers are coming to gather the gifts and such what would you recommend I say politely to say that I won’t partake with this? What boggles my thoughts is that my coworkers know with out a doubt that I do not think in breeding and I uncover the thought of bringing children in to this planet as absolutely nothing less then torture, nevertheless they want me to aid support some kid I will probably in no way meet and would never pick to meet offered the option. Now I specifically asked how to do this politely simply because I know how to be imply, but good on the other hand is not my greatest suite.
Okay bases on the first answers notice I said “would” not afford not could not afford.
Very best answer:

Simply tell them that you are unable to participate and leave it at that. If they press you to do it, tell them you cant. Thats all
Since you are at least civil enough to offer your congratulations to this person, why not just buy a “Congrats on the baby” card and put that in the basket? Surely you can afford a 99 cent card and the time it takes to sign it. Then there’s no need to inform anyone of your personal financial problems nor do you have to spend time explaining your personal views on reproducing.
Tell them you gave at the office.
just say that you do not want to partake in this activity and say sorry but no thanks
Sounds like to me this is more than you just can’t afford it. Sounds to me you just don’t want to help anyone because they are doing something that you personally don’t agree with. Then you need to just come out and say it and stop beating around the bush.
Your situation gets me so angry… I totally agree with you, and the way you feel.
I think that just a simple greeting card will do it. If they ask for more, just say you can’t afford it. No one knows better about your finances than yourself.
If things get nasty, give them a condom. That should send the message. ( I’m joking!!!)
