Unpopular opinion: Gender reveals are stupid.
I’m prepared to die on this hill.
Aside from the fact that is just another example of the self absorbed over sharing society we have become, it pressures people to continuously celebrate you at every turn.
There are people who can’t ever have children, have had multiple miscarriages that more than likely they kept to themselves and are grieving when you drag them to your show.
A private moment meant for you and your partner becomes one shared with everyone and I guess that’s “special” and cute. But why not keep it between you two, then privately with your parents, and after that whoever is important finds out.
The moment no longer belongs to you.
Then there is the issue of cultural taboos. Many cultures favor boys. When I had my first pregnancy I was pressured into finding out. It was a girl. The absolute filth that came out of people’s mouths in the months until I had her

and for years after were so painful. They made my PPD worse. When I had my second go around, I opted not to find out. Oh how they all suffered. It was perfect. They squirmed and begged and pleaded. No, you peasants! You shan’t find out my child’s sex. Be gone!
The moment arrived in an emergency OR. My husband was passed out on the floor of the delivery room they whisked me out of because I was dying. So my mother in law and I found out that it was a boy. It was wonderful finding out that way. The surprise of being handed this
healthy beautiful human and surviving was all that mattered. After that, I wondered, if it had been a girl, I would have heard even worse. More comments. More garbage. So many women suffer every time they find out their baby is a girl because of other people.
Gender reveal parties are stupid for so many more reasons. Don’t fight me on this. I will die on this hill, I told ya.
My husband is an amazing son but his sister is the best to their parents and her brothers. My own father was in horrendous pain from his shoulder and my 3 brothers did what? Nothing. Busy with their wives. Guess who took him to the doctor? me. I live 3 hours away.
I drove 3 hours with two small kids to spend a week at my parents to take my dad to specialists because the 3 prized sons couldn’t be bothered.
VAJZAT Jan per Nena e per Baba.
