And Para nailed it. Everything he said was spot on.

Are these the same people who spends hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on the kid’s first birthday?

Likely the same people that will buy all sorts high-priced, brand name mommy/daddy & me outfits. They'll take a toddler on a nice overseas vacation where they're aren't going to remember a single thing about the trip but, will get to listen to their parents talk about it for the rest of their lives. Mom will insist on no minivan because she can't be seen in such an embarrassing kind of vehicle. They'll buy Disney park season passes, despite the child not being tall enough for any of the rides.

This stuff is soo outta control, right up there with self gratification on Facebook and other social media.... I don't care what your offspring is.....

Now the El Dorado fire, started by a gender reveal, has resulted in the death of a wildland firefighter.

Please tell me that assholes that started it will be charged with manslaughter now?

This is the stupidest thing I've read all week.

We have four kids and the gender reveal on two of them was nothing more than "Wow, look at the penis on the ultrasound".

Social media is going to be the downfall of society.

CNN told me I should just wait 'til the kid self identifies their gender to start any fires or blow things up and such. What if I get it wrong and have to re-blow things up, or re-start fires? They don't burn nearly as well the second time. 'Course, there'd be years between the birthin' and the self identifyin', right? So, maybe I'd be okay on that part.

But what if they want to play for both teams? Is that a purple bomb? Should I use twice the powder, since they're playing for two teams? It's so confusing. Let me check with Tic-Tac and Instagross to see what I need to do....

What ever happened to the 'gender reveal' at birth...

A few of you hit on one of my absolute pet peeves....MUST ATTEND parties for F'in INFANTS!

Kid doesn't know if they are filling their diaper or not...But adults MUST ATTEND or the family is slighted.

Never been around these silly gender reveals...Thankfully.
