[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually go further than Miss Martin.  To me it is tacky to reveal the gender before the birth.  [/quote]

I think it is too. I wouldn't say that in real life though. I loved being surprised in the delivery room. It was one of those once in a lifetime moments. [/quote]

Yes!  My peeps!  I HAVE said it in real-life: there is no greater joy (to me) than NOT finding out and being surprised (or not) in the delivery room.  I'm three for three on this, too.  That's right, I did not want to know the[b] *sex* [/b]of my babies, ever... and I had three.

Not finding out truly rankled my MIL (and further bolstered my bitchy conviction that I was never going to find out because SHE so wanted to know in advance so she could "shop") but it was perhaps the first true boundary I established after MIL suggested she might accompany me to the sonography appointment.

I digress.  Amen, Miss Manners!  Thank you for putting into words what so many of us have felt for a very long time about these dreaded "parties."

I will now decline future invitations, guilt-free.[/quote]

Thank you, PP. Gender is not known at/ before birth. Sex is/ can be. Why do so many people not know/ understand the difference between sex and gender? Ignorance abounds.[/quote]
Because throwing a "sex reveal party" would sound very strange? [/quote]

Unless it was held I the aforementioned sex dungeon. [/quote]
