Gender Reveal parties - just no

[Lumpy1106]

They finally sentenced these two idiots. Except for the restitution, I think they got off really easy, but then there is the kids to think about - can't have both parents serving time;

And because it really shouldn't need to be said, but clearly some will never get the message, the best gender reveal party is the one that never occurs. It is hard to fathom how these two geniuses ever thought that plussing it up with pyrotechnics would somehow make it better.

As if those two will ever pay even 3% of the restitution.

Have a cake with blue or pink candy inside or something equally harmless. Don’t light fireworks or other incendiary devices.

I thought Gender Reveal parties were a thing of the past now because there are so many genders out there.

I agree. No parties! Call the grandparents and other close family members to share the news. Post for friends on social media. Done.

Congrats to all of you!

I don't like them. I find them embarrassing.

Imagine making people leave their home in order to find out if you are having a boy or a girl.

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares.

People often overestimate how much people care about their lives. It's like weddings - Hey, great, congratulations! I'm happy for you, but I don't want to give up an entire Saturday over it.

I only went to one, and that's because a close friend of mine wanted me to be there. Otherwise I normally never go to these.

How can one even know the GENDER of someone who isn't even born yet. What they are revealing is the anatomical SEX of the baby.

A person died and the guy only gets sentenced to a year in county jail. That, in itself, is a crime.

The couple should have been sentences to 10 years community service where they have to go around and give public presentations, (not sure where this would be done,) on how stupid gender reveal parties are, and not to do them.

More colors to have at the party, along with a chart listing each color as to what the revealed gender is.

Plus, the fine print disclaimer: "Gender may change at any time."
