Gender Reveal Parties

Posted: Jan 26, 2016

I received 2 invites this week! My grouchy self says just another gift haul occasion but my nice me...okay, actually feels the same

But at the end of the day I'll go because those little babies already have a piece of my heart and I don't want to miss one minute of his/her life

Grouchy sidenote to continue my whine - I blame Pinterest! Glad that site hasn't hooked & reeled me in!!

You actually take gifts? So it's a baby shower? Or is there going to be a baby shower at a later date?

Do explain please!

Good question.. - ?

I just took for granted I would bring a gift! I will have to ask some questions! In both cases I've heard through the totally unreliable but entertaing grapevine that both of these parties a cake will be served and when sliced we will all know (including mom & dad) if it's a girl or boy coming in 6/7 months! I assume (but remember what they say about those that assume that we'll be looking at a pink cake or blue cake ...

I have been to several and yes - sm

I took a gift to them. The theme in my area is that it's not a shower type gift but say maybe a pack of diapers. The last one I went to was for my niece back in the fall. It was outside and besides the cake she served sandwiches, snacks and a large witches cauldron of chilli. She is a very social girl and as the day went on I would say there were probably 200 or so people floating through. Everyone brought diapers and I have no idea where she stored all of them.

It's a baby shower, bring a gift. - sm

It's the latest thing. I'd go gender neutral in terms of a gift.

When I saw the title of this thread - LOL

I immediately thought of a transgender person coming out for the first time. Anyone else have that same thought? LOL Guess I've seen so much of Caitlyn Jenner that my mind immediately steered in that direction.

Yes, that is the first thing I thought of! - Saw a transgender bride

on "Say Yes to the Dress" the other night and was thinking of that. Then, I remembered the Duggars and all of their Gender Reveal parties, so I knew what it was about. Guess I watch too much reality TV for my own good.

That's what i thought, too! I live in SF and - have many transgender friends.

Gender reveal parties and "save the date" wedding invitations are beyond my ken. In the olden days, we just told people individually about our news.

Of course, back then expectant mothers wore clothes designed to disguise that huge baby bump, not something that would announce to the world "there's a baby here!"

I would much rather see the maternity wear of old - than bulging naked

pregnancy pictures of their boyfriend kissing their girth, baby daddy patting the belly, bikini clad with the bikini lost under that belly pictures. I just do not think a pregnant belly is all that. I remember a couple of years ago being at a water park with 2 pregnant women there in bikinis. That sight along with the women's tats were really jaw dropping.

While Bernie leads over Hillary by double digits, they still are not ready for a communist/socialist president whether it be Bernie or Hillary.

It Was A Leak And An Inside Job. A group of former U.S. Intelligence officers calling themselves the VIPs have authored an extensive report with forensic evidence that the Democratic National Committee was not hacked by the Russians in July 2016. The report alleges the DNC suffered an insider leak, which was conducted in the Eastern time zone of the United States by someone with physical access to a DNC computer. This report was shared with the respected left-liberal magazine, THE NATION. ...

Leaked funding documents reveal an effort by George Soros and his foundations to manipulate election laws and process rules ahead of the federal election far more expansively than has been previously reported. The billionaire and convicted felon moved hundreds of millions of dollars into often-secret efforts to change election laws, fuel litigation to attack election integrity measures, push public narratives about voter fraud, and to integrate the political ground game of the left with effor ...

Sadly, the 18 month investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups isn’t over, and it may be worse than anyone thought. A federal judge has broken loose more emails that the DOJ had surely hoped would never surface. The picture it reveals isn’t pretty. The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections. It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fac ...

Gender Ideology Harms Children Updated January 2017 The American College of Pediatricians urges healthcare professionals, educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality. 1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of male and female, respective ...

•An experiment designed to reveal gender bias by reenacting the presidential debates with the candidates’ genders reversed found that Hillary Clinton would have been even less likeable as a man. •The two NYU professors who designed the experiment were "unsettled" to discover that audience members actually found Trump's style more endearing when it came from a woman. •One female audience member even remarked that she found the male version of Clinton "very punchable" because he ...

What brazem IDIOTS this elderly pair of Clintons are. Is this the ONLY way Hillary can get elected? Trying to appeal to low IQ voters who buy their gender bias story? Desperate senior citizens who want to hang onto power, make more money and provide a hunting ground in the White House for Bill to stalk interns for sex. "Condemning what he called “vicious trolling,” Bill said the attacks on his wife are “literally too profane ... not to mention sexist.” (San ...

Not only did they extend the tax cuts but they pushed back spending cuts. Both wrong in my opinion. Get rid of the tax cuts...let them expire for everyone. Why are they pushing back spending cuts? Isn't our biggest problem our debt and yet they push back spending cuts? HUH? Isn't that a tad counter productive to getting down our debt? I am so disgusted with any and all politicians. I'm to the point where I don't believe either p ...

Starting a new thread because the old one is too hard to follow any more. You've got me doing more googling than I ever intended but that is a good thing. Total cost of health care in this country was up to 2.3 trillion a couple of years ago and undoubtedly higher now. Frivolous law suits accounted for only 1 to 1.5% of the costs and unnecessary tests an even smaller percentage at 6.8 billion. I couldn't copy the link but if you google frivolous lawsuits health care ...

Scott Walker have planned a slew of pajama parties, Green Bay Packers viewing parties and “midnight madness”-themed events to kick off their effort to recall the new Republican governor, which was set to begin just after midnight Monday. Dozens of events were planned by groups like United Wisconsin and Democrats across the state late Monday night and throughout today to start gathering the more than 540,000 signatures required to get a Walker recall election o ...

He claims "someone told him" that Romney has not paid taxes in 10 years. That's a pretty serious charge, especially if he does not/will not name his source. Anyone can claim "someone told me" something and then it's reported as truth? I don't think he HAS a source; I think it's political strategy -- get the media to report it and people will take his word for it. Voters are smarter than that. ...

Plus a Bloomberg poll said women were moving toward Romney on economic issues but holding back on social issues, especially abortion, confirmed by other pols. So Romney stated in front of cameras that he has no abortion legislation in mind. Which his campaign staff then routinely denied (following what is now a well-established pattern). Ryan also then said their position on abortion has not changed. Romney's previous positions have been that he is absolutely against abortion. That ...
