[@colorbugoriginals4457]

I've always tried to help esp on baby showers for families of lesser means, I think it's reasonable to have a shower for each baby in a lot of cases. Subsequent babies need fewer large ticket items bc they get them handed down. Other special but common circumstances come to mind such as multiples on the way, or a special needs child, or just a single parent without a whole lot of help pulling it all off. ❤️

Come on, they usually "only" had: - engagement party - bachelorette/bachelor party (maybe plus girls weekend) - wedding ceremony plus reception - pregnancy announcement - baby shower They NEED another party that is all about them. Some people just can't get enough. (unmarried couples obviously didn't have the wedding-related ones)

[@thepanpiper7715]

Fun fact, the blog post that popularised the idea of gender reveals was quite literally just a cake with a layer of pink icing inside. It was purposefully low-key because the woman had suffered a number of miscarriages beforehand and I think this was the first pregnancy that lasted long enough for them to be able to determine the gender. The reveal was as much celebrating that the pregnancy had lasted as much as the reveal itself.

[@Zminator1986]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that lady doesn't like what gender reveals have become or regretted starting the trend.

I then took photos with the pink balloons and two very excited boys holding the ultrasound photos, and sent the photo to family and friends. It was the best!

[@CaterpillarFriend]

That’s a great idea! I might do something like that, since I’ll be at my scan by myself. Would be cute to surprise my almost 4 year old with a sister or brother balloon or something. Though she’s already INSISTING that I’m growing a sister in here, haha! We’ll see.

Anyone else just not a fan of gender reveal parties? Seems to me just an excuse to get more people to bring you gifts. Gender reveal, diaper party, baby shower, how many parties do you need to throw before the baby even shows up?

[@FlagCutie]

Yup. Though in their defense, I think some people do them as a way to include the fathers since baby showers are historically more of a ladies only thing. Personally I have just begun organizing coed baby showers so that everyone can celebrate! But yeah, too many parties.

[@sofie1724]

Diaper party?! Oh man, there is more?

[@indigoeye3874]

Oh god, in my country, there are exactly zero parties. There can be gifts, though - but in the way that relatives visit (separately) after the baby is born and bring something for the baby, like a toy. In my aunt's family it was normal to give some golden jewelry for the children of close relatives, but it's otherwise quite unusual to give such expensive gifts.

[@fairladykd6734]

Usually gender reveals don't require a gift - just saying & diaper parties are for the Dads & his friends while showers are typically for the Women. I think as many parties as the couple, their friends, & Family wanna give is quite alright. Just don't go.

You don't bring gifts to the reveal. They supply snacks and a cake. Or meals. Gender reveals shouldn't be gifts bc no one knows the gender until the reveal

[@synthiamcbride7194]

My niece and her husband had a very nice "gender reveal" party several years ago. No bombs or exploding balloons. Her MIL and SIL knew the gender and created a riddle that had to be solved by opening a series of presents. I don't remember exactly what the gifts were, but it was something like the first present was one item like one "onesie." The second was two items like two booties. The third was three items like 3 pacifiers. The fourth gift was a piece of ivy. And the answer to the riddle? A boy. Why? Because if they ever had a boy he would be named for his great-grandfather(Sr.), his grandfather (Jr.), and his father (III).. He would be "IV." "IV"= "ivy." Get it? It was great fun.

In the video you can clearly see the mother takes it out of her hand to do it herself and the little girl screams because she wanted to do it. The mother tries to give her one more chance to try and pop it, thats when the little girl tried to Throw it at the guests instead. She didnt have to do it the mother was prepared to take over but the little girl got angry when the focus was off her and was on the mother and the balloon. I think the lityle girl just ruined what was supposed to be a happy moment between family and frends. This is why the parents should just do it themselves and not let the kids do it. 9 times out of ten the kids ruin it. I love kids but that little girl diserved to be scolded in the end. She threw a dart intending to hit a family member or friend. They were lucky nobody was close to where the little girl threw the dart or it could have been a hospital run instead.

I personally dont really get the hate? Unless one of the parents is expecting a certain gender and is dissapointed after the reveal, why not make a party? It's a fun way for everyone to find out and you can have a nice party. Doesnt necessarily mean that that kid has to identify as a boy or girl later or dress and act a certain way. But yeah of course, you shouldnt overdo it and maybe not set an entire state on fire.

Same. No one is doing this shit is just so unnecessary, not to mention where I live is a unspoken that people will not come/like when there so many gifts to give. We understand one but that is, everyone has family, not to mention things got so expensive.

[@poietes7337]

I'm sorry. Maybe I'm too old (?) but I just don't see the point. Like so many other made up special occasions, the big winner is the industry behind these contraptions. We routinely see weddings that cost more than my first house because it's so important to outdo your sister or best friend, and now we have gender reveal parties that more often than not go wrong, sometimes terribly (massive wildfires anyone?). Is it worth having to replace a car or even a house because you left the planning to someone with no inkling of how lethal some chemical reactions can be? Geez. If you absolutely must have a reveal, just stick some pink or blue candles on a cake, and no one will have to take a direct hit to their nuts 🤪.

Why does it matter? A baby shower is understandable if it's your first baby, You might need help with gifts for the baby, but the gender revel is pointless and unnecessary.

[@airbubble.]

With my first 3, i just told my/his parents on the phone. For the last one, I went for scan. bought a teddy in the gift shop that said "its a boy!" gave it to my parents in the car. job done. On all four occasions, anybody with an ounce of interest knew within the hour. Never had a baby shower either. If anybody wanted to buy the baby a gift, I welcomed any and all efforts. After suffering several miscarriages, my only real interest was whether my children survived to term and came out in full working order. Gender is unimportant.

[@StormyPeak]

At around the 7:50 mark -- I felt so sorry for that little girl who seem very afraid of popping a big balloon while her (I'm assuming) parents try to bully her into into it...and when she has an emotional break-down and tosses the pointed dart that was to pop the balloon, she got her hands slapped for it. :( And...although not shown, I am pretty sure given how the parents treated her for not 'complying' to their demands to do something the girl was obviously afraid of doing...that little girl was probably blamed for the balloon escaping and she got into even more trouble, or even spanked. Little kids are often afraid of loud popping sounds, and in seeing balloons break. Instead of the treatments she got from those 2 self centered assholes, she should have been given a hug and told she didn't need to expose herself to popping the balloon and the resulting explosion of sound, and the chaos of the balloon coming apart along with anything in it that would have spilled out of it. I'm 57 and think it's ridiculous to have a gender reveal party...to me it's just another scam to try to get people to bring gifts. It use to be there was a bridal shower, then later a baby shower...now there are all kinds of bullshit 'events' to waste time and other people's money to celebrate the self entitled bridezillas and couples out there who are either getting married and/or having a baby. .

[@VONHOUNTINGON]

I felt sorry for the little girl too :( broke my heart to se her being forced into doing something she clearly is not comfortable doing.

It could also be that the little girl didn't like being the center of attention and felt uncomfortable with that too. Parents should leave their other children out of these ridiculous "reveals."
