If they react this poorly to the sex of a fetus imagine how shitty they are at everything else about raising a child. Kind of horrifying really

“Yall are acting like you opened blind boxes and are pissed you got duplicates” this took me tf out😭 worded soo damn welll

the poor little girl who started crying and said "im scared." indicates to me that hissy fits from the father are a consistent part of her life imo

the fact that the second dad's quiet anger was so obvious to his youngest daughter and made her scared of him how is he not ashamed of himself 💀

My friends parents held a gender reveal, my mom made cookies for the reveal. She made them all green by accident. They came to the consensus that it was a dinosaur

"what gender is your child" "bomb."

My dad is an old school boomer and the youngest of 3 boys. He married a woman with 2 daughters already, and my parents had 2 girls and 2 boys together. I remember growing up we would go out as a family, mom and dad with the 4 girls and 2 boys in tow, and sometimes men would make comments to my dad like, "Must be awful to be so outnumbered" and "Had to keep trying until you finally got a son, huh?" One I distinctly remember saying it was a shame he had to "put up with all those daughters" to get the sons he wanted. Hearing that as a 6-year-old made my stomach hurt. My dad is not a perfect man or a perfect father, but I'll never forget the disgust on his face when he'd reply with something like, "I didn't give a damn if they were boys or girls as long as we got to bring them home safe from the hospital."

I grew up as a girl with four sisters and a brother. Because he was born into a family mostly made up of females, my brother developed more interests in stereotypically 'feminine' activities like painting nails and dress up. Whenever us kids would be bonding and my father walked in to see my brother wearing makeup or something, he'd always pull him away and make up some problem that he needs to help with. My sisters and I would commonly step in to say that we wanted to help, but my father would use the argument that he 'needs a man's help' or it was 'a man's job'. Keep in mind, he's around 2/3 of my age and we had two older sisters who were a decade older. These 'projects' would usually end up with my father either being upset that my brother didn't know how to use power tools or that one of us older children tried to say that having a child that young around those kinds of objects was unsafe. Nowadays, my parents are divorced, and my father commonly says things like 'those children are now bastards' or 'now there's no man of the house'. Whenever I'm around to overhear this, I step up and say that I'll be the man since I'm the oldest child living here. I feel like parents like mine that try to force their children into sex-based stereotypes don't understand that children are humans with multiple personality traits. The fear of their child being something other than what they think they should act like based on gender proves that these parents cannot deal with the concept of personalities being different between people. I, my older sister, and my brother all present both stereotypical masculine and feminine personality traits and interests. Neither of my parents (especially my father) can really connect with us or even attempt to because of this. Children and people and people don't stick to a script. As humans, we're multifaceted and develop with our experiences. Treat us like it.

I had two girls. While delivering my youngest I nearly bled to death. Afterwards my ex told me he wanted to keep trying for a boy. I told him to find another uterus.

A couple of friends had a gender reveal party with rainbow cupcakes and a sign that said, "Who the F*** cares, it's a baby!!!" and I loved them even more for that.

At 8:37 the dad was wearing a light pink shirt. He wanted a girl. He was showing happiness in his own way and people just immediately assumed he was waiting for blue and it pisses me off. I wish MY dad was that happy for me!! He looked shy, but psyched!

If I ever have a kid, I'm gonna have a gender reveal party. It's gonna be one of those "cut the cake and see the colors" ones, but the inside is gonna be purple and once the slice is removed, I'll push a button or something which unfurls a large banner that says "WE HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE!!" Everyone will be confused and/or disappointed, and if they leave early, I'll get more cake :)

my parents used green for my gender reveal party. they were so excited to tell everyone they would be raising three lizards in a trenchcoat 🥰

the worst part is that the woman who invented them made it to celebrate her daughter coming to term, becasuse she had suffered multiple misscarriages and so it was a celebration of the fact that the child was succending to the point that they could get a determined reveal of the child's gender rather than celebrating the gender itself. and the fact that she regrets inventing them hurts me so much becasue this celebration for her is now a horror story of wildfires, destruction, and parents and family having meltdowns because the child isnt the gender they want (and then they have another meltdown when the child comes out as trans/non binary)

My favourite gender reveal will always be two wrestlers, one in blue and the other in pink, having a hardcore match in someone's backyard

Majority of my family has girls, and it’s considered a “rarity” for someone in my family to have a boy. When my sister got pregnant, my dad kept telling my brother-in-law “hope you made it a boy!” We now know she is going to have a girl. It makes all of the younger members of my family uncomfortable hearing the older folks freak out over the chromosomes of the newest family member. I also grew up hearing my dad complain about have four daughters and no sons. When I found out I am not cisgender, I would hint at it and my dad would flip out. Old man, do you want a son or not?

If there’s a 50% chance you’re going to be disappointed with the gender of your child, you have no business having a child in the first place

"A child doesn't exist to fulfill your expectations" I can't even fathom how many people have had children strictly to fulfill expectations.

As a park ranger, gender reveal parties at parks are the worst. They spray plastic colored confetti everywhere, leave it all for park staff to clean up, and usually involve alcohol and general chaos. I had people threaten bodily harm to me when I asked them to clean up their confetti explosion.
