Why does every mundane moment demand public celebration from this generation?

Hopefully these will be considered child abuse in the pc world soon as the parents are imposing a gender stereotype on a baby. It's a paradox though because obviously mother's rights supercede those of the baby before it is born.

Because they need constant reaffirmation that they are special.

Our gender reveal was when the baby popped out, which was convenient because we had picked a girl’s name but not a boy’s yet.

Eh, they have their place. If its a fairly small gathering for a BBQ and to have some drinks, thats pretty cool I think. Making a big spectacle of it definitely has a 'look at me' vibe to it.

I always thought it would be unique to hit a pink or blue exploding golfball as the reveal.

I thought this would be about someone in Crystal Lake finally confessing to be Juggs.

IF (big if) there is a second, I will push hard for this.

For this first one, I left it entirely up to her and she wants it like KD's was.

He should have a pink and a blue paper bag, light them on fire, then put the appropriate one on his head.

Or maybe a brown bag, and when he lights it, it shoots out pink or blue sparks.

3 times we had the ultrasound lady tell us together and all the 3 times after i was told it was a girl, i was like "well it is my child it could very well still be a boy" (implying explicitly that i have a small penis) instead of eyes it was generally eye rolls from anyone.

Agreed. These are the kinds of parties everyone who can’t come up with a viable excuse to get out of it complains about it to their spouse before and after.

What? Weddings are usually great unless it's a cash bar, or some religious loon that won't allow alcohol.

I didn't have a party but had most of the immediate family over for a BBQ when we did ours. Did a pinata (yes, it's because I'm mexican) for our girl and popped balloons for the boy. I understand that nobody outside of my family and close friends could give two shits :lol:

My son and his wife did exactly that with their twins. My daughter-in-laws brother was given the permission to know what sex the babies would be and got ahold of two exploding golf balls. He then video-taped the "launching" of the two BLUE clouds. Needless to say the looks on their two faces were priceless:)

Is “mult” considered a gender?

this is spot on. Everyone needs to post the most ordinary things on their phones as some big deal. Oh look, I'm on a boat! Or need to take a picture of every meal at a dining establishment.

Why does everyone have the need to be famous?

I like when it's pink and the guy looks upset. That's gotta suck if you don't have a son yet.

What is wrong with people being invited to share a joyful moment for a young couple, though?
