-"Reveal" parties We have gotten a few of those invitations lately, from baby gender, to new house, etc. For the house "reveal", I had to call up my buddy and ask if he and his wife were just too good for us commoners who still held house warmings...... For baby gender reveals, I just wonder why folks think it's truly that special, especially the ones who go all out with professional photographer, etc. Those will be the ultimate helicopter parents.

-Promposals Anyone who's had a high schooler in the last 10 years will know what I mean. These things were invented by helicopter moms who just couldn't stand their little princesses not being treated like royalty every waking moment.


I feel better now.

It's all the rage now. You forgot the Baby Q, maybe it's a Texas thing.Laughing

Those school dances, my wife would have the house full of kids and their dates helping the girls with their hair and makeup. Like the daughters she never had. Some of them still come around occasionally and ask to use our house for their baby showers and parties. Good times!

I have a pat answer when someone invites me to their one year old's birthday party: No thanks. I'll come when they're old enough to drink.

gender reveals are fucking horrible and so are the people that have them.

house reveals? what the fuck is that?

everybody in this day and age needs to solidify their position in their social circle, everyone wants everybody else to look at them and say "wow, they are so interesting and cool and what a cool idea having a gender reveal for their 4th fucking kid, like i'm so glad they are announcing to the world that their 4th little bag of shit is a boy".

I couldn't have said it any better.
If you wanna have a party, have a party but don't have a party for the sake of being the center of attention because you're doing something that a few billion people have already done.

Any of the above mentioned baby things with my requirement of BBQ as food. Why? Because it’s BBQ.

one door being unlocked and the other door locked at a business.

Having a meeting about the meeting we just had...it’s called minutes... take a gander

Blocking the box at a light or no blinker... both rank the same

When no mayo is understood as please add half a jar of mayo on my burger

we don’t do the baby Q thing here in TN that I’m aware of, but I’m on board if some good BBQ and beer are there.

Umm...years ago. You've never seen a video clip of a couple cutting a cake which then reveals pink or blue icing in the middle or someone popping a balloon full of pink or blue confetti or anything of the sort that reveals the babies gender?

I'm guessing you're not part of the tech crowd?

As Peely mentioned, it's lame.

My wife and i did a gender reveal . Guess when we did it , the moment the baby came out dripping in blood and nasty shit . It was harder to not know the sex of the baby ,by the end of the pregnancy i wanted to tell everyone to fuck off ,nonstop bugging from friends and family about HAVING to find out the sex before the baby was born.
The one that really bugs me is the women who want a "push present" for all their hard work . Bitch,you get a baby for your efforts

My wife asked me about this. Before she finished the sentence it was NO. she agreed. Haha.

I get house warming parties. For your first home. Not for every house you buy in your life. Got one friend has one every time he buys a house which is like every 3 years. Pisses me off.

This is shit Ive never heard of before I read this thread, honestly.

But Peely, your post delivers! Funny shit!

Edit: This thread delivers. All the best posters are showin’ up! Classic one is developing!

Sounds like a reveal party is basically the same thing as a clicking on a "spoke with my wallet" thread, except you might get to see a cool 2 stroke... Laughing

I would love to sabotage a reveal cake and have it deep dark chocolate brown on the inside.

Promposals, fucking ridiculous. I know a kid that spent like $200 and got shot down. Guys with steady dates that have to jump through the same hoop, what is she going to say, no?

Coed wedding showers. FML. The closest we got was a bunch of guys meeting at a bar for some beers while the wimmins had their hen party then went over after for some bbq and a real party.

The world is going to some de-masculinized state of tune so fast it's pathetic. People inviting you to a party to 'reveal' which gender baby they're having. Essentially, they're tuning you up for the present they expect you to bring? How about this,,,, when you have your baby, you bring me a cigar? I'll look at your baby pictures and say,,,'You can't deny that one.' and we'll go on our way. You, to cleaning spooge off your baby's bottom. Me, to cleaning spooge off my smoker's silencer.

Vintage baby gender reveal. BITD, my Dad was in the delivery room and just as my sister was born, he exclaimed "look Doc, no balls !!" A story the family's heard only 68 times...with Mom rolling her eyes 68 times too. Wink

Bunch of fucking "look at me" turds. Hand in hand with Facebook and instagram shit. Why is everyone these days seeking the approval of others? Just do your own shit and get on with life
