Feel awkward at gender reveal party

Anonymous
Gender reveal parties are tacky and dumb. The sooner this trend stops, the better.

I don't want to braid your girl's hair or paint her nails.

Same!

Same sex siblings have such a special relationship. I am thrilled that all of my children are the same sex and it just so happens that it was what my husband had wished for/saw himself fathering as well.


I am also confused by this view that everyone wants one of each. I am glad I don’t have boys.


We have two girls, followed by two boys, and get tons of comments about how lucky we are for that. Many people we know who have 2, 3, or 4, all of the same sex have griped about it to us and I do feel a little awkward. But, on the other hand, we also know couples who are perfectly happy with their five boys and no girls, or four girls and no boys, so every family is different.


People complain to you about the genders of their kids? I don't think I know any families that aren't happy with what they have (and if they're not they certainly wouldn't share that beyond their absolute closest confidantes).
