Is it normal to think "gender reveal parties" are dumb?

It's just unnecessary. What makes a gender reveal party unnecessary is:

1) It just costs more money to do
2) Parents can reveal their kid's gender at the baby shower
and
3) They're already getting gifts from the baby shower

These parents just want more attention to be all on them as well as pandering. They should be grateful for what they get.

I don't understand why they would have more than one baby shower after they have their 1st child either. The whole point of a babyshower is to signify the couple's new future as parents. To do it multiple times for every kid they have is excessive.

    I went to Bruce Jenner's. I never saw him, but I got drunk and banged some chick name Cait.

    Attention whores. They are for people that crave admiration, and feel entitled to everything.

    There's a blog called STFU Parents, and they've made a few posts about this. I mostly agree, it's somewhat pointless.

    I don't see the big problem if that is what they want to do. I also don't get the reasoning you used here.

    Your first point could apply to any celebration of any kind. Celebrations in general are not necessary and cost money. Are you against birthday parties and holiday celebrations and baby showers?

    Which brings us to your last two points. Your second and third point don't make sense because you just got through saying you don't like unneeded wastes of money. How does having a baby shower not fit that discription? How is having a baby shower any better or worse than a gender reveal party? Why are you seemingly OK with one but not the other?

    If someone wants to have a party for their unbornchild every week, and sometimes an extra one on Tuesdays, that is their business. If people want to attend them, that is their business. Why do you care?

      1) No, I'm not against birthday parties or any other holiday.

      2) It only bothers me if parents do both a shower and gender reveal party.

      3) While having a baby can be a great and huge event, there's simply no point in going overboard for that baby. It hasn't even been born yet.

      and

      4) Having multiple baby showers seems to take the special-ness away from a expected baby.
      It's no longer "new" and "unique".

      I'm not saying they can't. I just don't see the reasoning in it.

        Maybe the parents throw two parties for the extra freebies. Or this is the beginning of the new Transexual cut-my-babies-penis-off-and-surgically- graft-a-vagina-gender-bender sick degenerate world we live in new craze.

        But that was my point, you don't have to see the reasoning. It has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to throw one, don't throw one. If you get invited to one and you don't want to go, don't go. Someone can throw as many parties as they want for whatever reason they want. What makes where you draw the line any better or worse than where someone else does? You think 1 is the right number of parties, someone else thinks its 10, someone else thinks it's 0. Who cares?
