The latest FailArmy video had some of those, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMptpfyA5L8 Somewhere in my brain I want Trump and his cronies to get their comeuppance, for the better of the country. But honestly, watching these parents make their older kids cry by revealing the sex of their baby (especially when it's a girl hoping for a baby sister) makes my blood boil so much quicker. Like, why do they think that the older kid should care as much as they supposedly do? You could just wait until the baby was born or whatever, but no you have to get her loving hopes up for a baby sister and then reveal NOPE IT'S A BOY gently caress YOU HAHAHA CRY FOR MOMMY'S YOUTUBE VIEWS! Also in the video, I wish I could tell the boy (James?) screaming to stop the "Happy Birthday" song that he's 100% in the right. You tell 'em, kid.

If I did a gender reveal party I would turn it into a sex reveal party with penises or vaginas exploding out of balloons. "That's what you shitlords seem to care about so eat your dick cupcake already."

Imagined posted:I have an amazing artist friend who does this poo poo to herself, unprompted. She'll spend a month making some amazing leather purse or something and then you'll ask her what she'd sell it for and she'll quote about the price of the materials. Like her time and skill have no value. I keep telling her to let me be her art pimp. I have no problem demanding money. I called him an idiot for valuing 3 hours of work at $5 and gave him $100.

sneakyfrog posted:ewwww esri. I don't disagree. I get regular emails from ESRI liaisons asking me in the vaguest possible ways whether there's anything I need for my account. Problem is, they never specify which account (I manage my own + 3-4 others), are never the same person so I can't cross-reference emails, and never reply when I ask what the gently caress they're referring to. Buuuut they're the industry standard. And their software sucks, but it sucks less than everything else available so  Anyway, I'll stop making GBS threads up the thread with GIS talk

Gender reveals can be cool and good. The way everyone in my office has done it is to just make cupcakes or cookies or something and then put either blue or pink frosting on, and that's how they "reveal" to the office. It's fun and everyone shares a snack and it's not a big deal. However, some of these idiots doing it for the facebook likes deserve to be bitten by a crocodile.

These things were being discussed in the IoSM thread as well, and I've come to the conclusion that the color variety balloon box is the best possible instance of it. Just whatever. It's a baby! Hooray!

Are gender reveal parties a separate event from a baby shower? I feel like I don't have enough time/interest to attend 2 parties for the same baby before it's even born.

I'm thinking a "food/housecleaning for mom, baby delivered healthy/alive, and meeting baby" party is more appropriate for like a month after. I don't think I'd want to have a party before I knew the baby was a done deal. E: Then again I can't imagine actual birthday parties until the kid was in school and had friends. Inviting my own friends to a baby's birthdays just seems strange. Cake among family, yeah, but actual parties nah.

I don't think I'd want to have a party before I knew the baby was a done deal. Baby death rates are under 1 percent, I think the benfits of having all the baby stuff set up and ready to go outweighs the extremely small chance of miscarriage or stillbirth. I mean, it would suck pretty bad to get home from the hospital with the baby and be like, "OK make a bed for it out of socks in an open drawer, I'm gonna go hit up Ikea and see if they have cribs. I'll buy diapers on the way home too, we'll be fine"

Cake among family, yeah, but actual parties nah. It's a ploy to score more gifts. My niece had a birthday party for her 1yo son, and there were, like 100 people invited. You can't tell me that wasn't a strategic move to line the family coffers. And yeah, I had to go, and yeah it was the most boring 2 hours of my life making small talk with people you don't know, and will probably never see again.

I'd never expect to get a present that expensive at a shower. Then again I've only been to baby showers where every gift was a variation of blue/pink onesies with dumb sayings and a ton of toys that will be stepped on in the coming year.

You get a twenty year old crib that's been on an epic journey from person to person before it ended up in your social circle and finally to you. edit: and you know it's been used 17 times because every baby who used it carved their name into the headboard

Most gifts in baby showers are going to be gadgets that other parents have discovered that the new parents wouldn't think of on their own. A way to hand down advice and knowledge without being overbearing when the soon to be parents need it the most. At least that's the platonic ideal. Like baby books, most new parents know they're going to need them but few realize just how many they're going to need to keep the baby happy and themselves sane.

Life hack: if you want to receive gift cards for your baby shower don't reveal the gender. Many people can't comprehend the idea of baby things being non-gendered and will just give you a gift card so they don't have to think about the existence of gender neutral colors and toys.

I liked toys and albums and poo poo but I like money more.

When he starts to go "son, what in the everloving gently caress are you trying to say?" that's when you interrupt him with a single finger shush, then let it sensually drag down his lips and chin while you breathily intone "Why so impatient... we'll get there."
