I could go on and on about why “Gender Reveal Parties” shouldn’t be a thing. Between not allowing your baby to identify as whichever gender they please (kidding, but only kind of because I can’t believe no one has complained about this in 2016) and adding another party to an already busy schedule of showers, gender reveals just seem like an unnecessary cog in late-twenties life. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll come to your house and drink on your tab, but I just think it makes more sense for you to keep this moment between you and yours.
Another example of why these parties should never occur is this video of a botched reveal which leaves the pregnant wife looking mortified at what panned out. Apparently the balloon shop mixed up the balloons, and well, see for yourself.
This is either a very elaborate way for their son or daughter to come out as gay or the balloon shop thought, “These gender reveals are so stupid – let’s mess with them.” Either way, it’s pretty difficult to feel bad for the couple given how sensationalized these parties are in the first place, but who am I to judge? There’s a 75 percent chance my future wife will make me have one of these so I can’t really point fingers. .

Also, this dude needs to rake his yard STAT. I hope his father-in-law wasn’t there to see that abomination.
Not having a yard to rake #PGP
Not having a rake to rake. PGP
Having lawn services built in to your HOA fees. PGPM.
Having lawn services built in to your HOA fees but still no lawn to rake. PGP.
Casually dropping that you’re a homeowner. PGPM
Everyone knows that just mulching it with your mower is the move. Saves time and is good for the grass (I hope).
My Father in law would low key disown me for not keeping my yard immaculate for his ‘princess’
I feel no guilt laughing at their first world problems
They seem like the kind of couple that has a joint Facebook account and a separate one for each kid.
The worst part of this is the fact that they’re really only mad because their Instagram moment was ruined. The best part is that toddler looking at balloons, then at the crowd, then at the balloons again like; “Ha. Cool reveal guys. I get to play with those, right? RIGHT!?!”
This is exactly what these people deserve
You’d think a simple text saying “it’s a boy/girl” would suffice. People who do this are fucking animals
I would be horrified if I got a text saying, “It’s a Boy/Girl.” I ain’t about having no hermaphrodite child.
Well that’s not very progressive of you.
Thank you. Best compliment I’ve gotten all month.
God that lady seems like a spoiled brat
I wish they would have continued filming just to see the temper tantrum
As if my life didn’t already have enough schadenfreude. I’m gonna need the 2 liter mega gulp for all these tears.
A buddy and his wife recently announced that they are expecting a baby boy and the kid’s name on Facebook. I had a strong urge to send them a “Thanks for not having a gender reveal party because I would think less of you” gift.
Deserves a solid thank you card. Thank you notes are a lost art.
Jesus. There is already a toddler in the picture….take it easy folks.
