     Well, now we know who the real baby is !

That's all these modern bs parties are
good for is causing raw feelings.
If they hadn't known until the birth was
done and over, and mom and dad had
their private time with their new daughter,
JMHO-  there wouldn't have been such
a scene

  It seems that young people want to celebrate everything these days..  My great grandchildren it seems are all benefitting from a reveal party.  I never saw any raw feelings over it though.

  Surely the couple producing the baby should have shared with each other, the knowledge of what gender is indicated.  If they have a problem in sharing even that information..the ruined party is the least of their marital problems.

  Actually, I am in favor of such celebrations, but for a far different reason. 

  I have a new great grandson due to arrive late next month, he is already named, his name is  'Evan'.

  Doing this points out to all the world..whether they like it or not, that the baby is not just a "bit of tissue", is not the mother's body, nor a "foreign invader".

   If his mother were to elect to kill him (which she would never even think of doing), she would not just be doing a medical procedure.. she would be killing baby Evan...

The couple's private happiness
at having a child would have been
more than adequate a generation
ago.  An elaborate party that is to
draw attention wasn't necessary for
many many years. Still isn't IMO

 I agree, the parties are superfluous, but the idea may just help save a baby's life, in an obtuse way.

  One or two babies' lives would be worth it.  Besides.."whatever trips their trigger"...if we don't like the party, we can always opt out !

I say what ever floats your boat. It's your kid so have a party or don't, your choice. Only two of my grandchildren have children. The grandson went with parties and we found there was going to be a girl and the second was a boy. Our only grand daughter passed on the parties and just told us she was having a girl all three times. The out come is the same party or not.

The food was good at the parties and everyone enjoyed themselves. We didn't get any food with the grand daughter's announcements but we were still happy with the news. It's the kids that come into our lives that count and not the way we learn about them.
