I've been known to post pictures of food I've made - because I love food - but I did NOT have a gender reveal with either kid. Sheesh.

ETA: I also love my kids. Just re-read that and realized it sort of sounds like I prefer food to my children, which is not usually the case...

Ok, I see. The importance was for her, not the baby. I can see that.

It's not the concept of a gender-reveal party that's at fault here. Admittedly, they're dumb, but I'll take any excuse to have cake. The real problem is what people are doing with it. How did we go from pink frosting to blowing shit up in 12 years?

So you are suggesting that a "white girl" having a "black baby" has something to do with this discussion, or that your point is in any way constructive to decent behavior?

No and no, was just an attempt to jokingly argue the Nazi side of incels.

[sticks tongue out of corner of mouth, rolls eyes to upper left, starts counting backward]Yeah, no. Totally appropriate to this time span.

Someone asked my daughter whether she wanted the incipient sibling to be a boy or a girl. Three-year-old-she looked at them archly and said in a corrective voice, "A baby!"

Maybe just send out some nice announcements, via USPS. Save lives, forests, and the mail service.

I always figured the entire "sex reveal" parties were just a way for the expectant parents to gin up more presents
