for babies that are on the way are the dumbest, lamest thing possible.

If you are suggesting that alcohol can make certain inherently awful activities more bearable, I’m with you.Drinks?
The way we're heading, 18yo's will start doing their own gender reveal parties.for babies that are on the way are the dumbest, lamest thing possible.

fixed, because it's coming.The way we're heading, 6yo's will start doing their own gender reveal parties.
My wife’s friend. My wife is baking and decorating cookies for it. It got me thinking about the whole phenomenon.Is it your party?
The shark move is to make the inside of the cake purple instead of blue or pink.My wife’s friend. My wife is baking and decorating cookies for it. It got me thinking about the whole phenomenon.
I get my wife’s friend’s excitement, they tried forever and went through multiple rounds of fertility treatments before she got pregnant.
AND, as an added bonus, people are dying at these parties! Iowa's not just killing the political nomination process; they're killing grandmas by shrapnel at gender reveal parties!for babies that are on the way are the dumbest, lamest thing possible.

It was supposed to be a day of celebration.
On Saturday afternoon, six members of an Iowa family gathered outside a rural Knoxville, Iowa, home for what society has dubbed a “gender reveal” party. Among the six was a pregnant woman. Her family was there to learn the sex of her baby.
But the reveal — which involved a homemade explosive device — went horribly wrong, shooting metal shrapnel toward the family standing 45 feet away.
Pamela Kreimeyer, 56, was struck in the head. She died on impact, officials said.
“The family got together for what they thought was going to be a happy event with no intent for anyone to get hurt,” Marion County Sheriff Jason Sandholdt said in a statement. “What ended up happening was that Pamela Kreimeyer, a wife, mother and grandmother was killed by a piece of metal where a metal stand, gunpowder and colored powder were involved.”
It's just millennials whoring for more attention. If that means exploiting an unborn child, then so be it.Count me in as I don't understand these. Yeah, yeah get off my lawn. I guess before my 2 children were born I honestly couldn't care less if we were having a boy or a girl. I was just hoping for healthy children is all. Seems weird to celebrate an unborn childs' gender.
Yeah, shouldn't these be sex reveal parties or anatomy reveal parties? Might get more people (especially guys) excited to attend with just a little tweak to the name.The way we're heading, 18yo's will start doing their own gender reveal parties.
Wow, 2 great entertainment choices. I would probably jump off the roof of the house when I got to either one.My wife’s friend. My wife is baking and decorating cookies for it. It got me thinking about the whole phenomenon.

But this is in addition to the usual baby shower thing, which better not be a GD couple’s thing.
The good news is we can’t go. The bad news is we will be attending a 1 year old’s birthday party instead.
A disadvantage of having a younger wife. And one whose friends mostly had their kids later in life. Ours are all mid-teens and later, while her friends have babies and little kids.Wow, 2 great entertainment choices. I would probably jump off the roof of the house when I got to either one.
maybe for ones that are already here would be worst? That's all I got.for babies that are on the way are the dumbest, lamest thing possible.

Usually by couples that are the first to split up. Followed by what resembles a 2 owner FF league where they take turns choosing who gets what gifts.Just another money/gift grab...
Wait, people give gifts for these things?! F that S right up the @$$!!!Just another money/gift grab...
That chick was pretty hot. :noban:That lady farting colored powder was pretty messed up, but that moron who burned down 47,000 acres of AZ forest takes the cake imo
To be certain...you couldn’t have waited and bought one piggy bank? Or better yet take a photo of both at the store and then posted the relevant one?We didn't throw a party but we bought two piggy banks, one pink and one blue, and then posted the pink one on Facebook when we learned of our first-born's gender. Didn't do anything for the 2nd.
The parties are silly.
It was 9 years ago so I may be misremembering details. To be fair I had nary a gray hair before all this, too.To be certain...you couldn’t have waited and bought one piggy bank? Or better yet take a photo of both at the store and then posted the relevant one?
Not really relevant but I wanted to share...Our gender reveal party was in the delivery room.
Went to my nieces 2 years ago, she was pregnant with twins and actually wanted 2 girls but would settle for one girl and one boys. It was twin boy and she starting shaking, crying and left the room we were in at a restaurant. Did not come back in for 45 minutes.
Wait, what?Have a very public blanket refusal to attend any events of this type. Gender reveals, Baby showers, Couples showers, etc (give us gifts before you give us wedding gifts!).
She wasnt even pregnant and was making fun of gender reveals iirc.That lady farting colored powder was pretty messed up, but that moron who burned down 47,000 acres of AZ forest takes the cake imo
You aren't married are you?People will complain about anything. If you don’t like it, don’t go.
FWIW, I’ve never been to one.
Wait. There are couples showers?Have a very public blanket refusal to attend any events of this type. Gender reveals, Baby showers, Couples showers, etc (give us gifts before you give us wedding gifts!).
No thanks.
I'll send some great baby stuff, and I'll take care of you at the wedding.
If your bathroom is big enough.Wait. There are couples showers?
It's a trend here and many places I imagine.fruity pebbles said:Wait. There are couples showers?
Huh? They needed to identify the patient, the pregnant patient, as female?glvsav37 said:"
Turn out he read "Female" on top of the image, not realizing it was referring to the patient, his wife, not the baby. Idiot!
