[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, you lost me at "gender reveal party."

OP, you are connected to far too many ME ME ME people.[/quote]

Not like you can raise a ruckus while your wife is pregnant (and it's cool that you're going with the flow), but seriously this is all a bunch of infantile nonsense.

Adult non-milestone birthday party turf battles? Gender reveal parties? This looks more like an episode of Teen Moms (I imagine) than a real grown up life. [/quote]

I think OP may be withholding some information. I bet dollars to doughnuts that OP also cares about his own special days too. No one could be this surrounded by chance. Like flocks to like.[/quote]

OP here.  No, I don't have any special days I really care about.  My wife is one of the most amazing people I've ever met and, while I agree the party is a little silly, if this is what makes her happy I'm happy to go along with it.  SIL did a gender reveal party thing as well so maybe it's a tradition in their family.

The only information I'm withholding is that my side of the family can, at times, be really passive aggressive.[/quote]

Maybe your sister is passive aggressively suggesting she'd rather celebrate her birthday with her own friends at home than travel for a gender reveal party, which is silly.  Tell her it's no big deal if she doesn't come and that she can save her money/vacation time for when the BABY is actually here.[/quote]
