Technically, it is a sex reveal as you know what sex the child will be. The gender comes later when the child will identify with either male or female behaviors.
And this is why when it was first brought up on this thread I assumed it was something the kids (as in college or maybe high school) were doing these days. I did not realize it was about a to-be-born baby until that was explained (and I felt stupid!).
Either way I'm out of it, I suppose, but that's not news.0 -

I keep a stash in my car boot. Which if fine through the winter, then I have to think of somewhere else for the summer because it melts and makes a big chocolate mess in my car... which can be mistaken for something else.
Two words - Tootsie Rolls
Unless you are willing to post me a bulk order, we don't have them here in England.
The one time I went to Florida I discovered Tootsie Pops. Yes, we bought as many bags as we could and filled our suitcase.

To all those who fear the plughole full of hairy gunk, no worries, I am here. There is a yin for every yang.
I wouldn't say I like unclogging hairy plugholes, but I do get an enormous sense of satisfaction! I even did the plugs when we moved into our new house which was full of other people's gross hair. I wore rubber gloves for that though! My husband had to leave the room lest he puked, but I quite enjoyed it once it was all done.0 -
I managed to put my pants on backwards this morning.
In my defense, they're the pocketless kind with just an exposed zipper, no buttons or covered fly. And I have a few pairs where the zipper is in the back so I put them on that way. After a few minutes I was wondering why the back waist of the pants felt so much lower than the front. At least I figured it out before I got to work.
Yes, I have no butt.

I woke up to a warning on my account. And my MFPals with Benefits thread closed. I wonder what they did. . .. . .0

When I run outside I am a spitting, snotty, nose blowing, sweaty mess. I know it's gross, but I need to breathe dammit!0

As a result I don't answer the phone when I don't recognise the number, most of the time I don't answer it even when I do. I absolutely hate having to call to make appointments (doctors, hair etc). Even my manager at work has taken the hint and now texts/emails me instead to ask if I can cover for someone.
I can't remember if it's always been like this, but it is soo annoying sometimes!
Me, too! I hate talking on the phone.
I talk on the phone all day at work, so I'll be damned if I'm gonna pick up the phone at any other time. Text me for Pete's sake. My husband is the polar opposite; he is on his phone alllll the time. He had the day off yesterday, and he called me (I counted) 12 times. For nothing, really. And that was just me! I'm sure he was calling 100 other places, too.
This is my kids. I hate it when they are home from school on a day off. I tell them only call me if it is an emergency or something really important where the answer absolutely cannot wait until I get home. My 7yo calls me, "Mom, can I have a cucumber?" "Alex, was this an emergency?" "Yes, because I am hungry!" ...this goes on 5-6 times during the day. Finally had to tell teenager to hide the phone from her.
I thought for a moment you were leaving your 7yo on her own for a day...until I read the rest. I have 2 girls age almost 14 (next month) and 8 and we are just starting to leave them together on their own for couple of hours at a time - older one stays on her own quite a lot (and has been for couple of years) and she's perfectly fine but I always worry about them having silly ideas when they are together... Not sure why as myself and my husband were both quite independent at their age, I remember walking to school on my own when I was 8. Does anyone else have that problem?0 -
I ate 4 hot pockets last night, haven't pooped since, I'm growing concerned.0

I hate the gym this time of year. It's when all the princesses come in with a full face of make up, do 10mins casual walking on the treadmill, use the lightest weights on the machines (because they don't want to get too bulky) and criticise the fat-*kitten*' such as myself for lifting heavy. Today's comment "Don't you think she should do more cardio before she does that? The muscle will be too hidden under the layers of fat, which makes what she is doing pointless." In my head I'm thinking "Walking the speed of a 90year old pensioner so your face doesn't melt is a waste of your time so why don't you F*** OFF." Obviously I didn't say this, my gym is the only one in the area with a squat rack, not getting myself banned for them. They probably won't turn up ever again...0

My two siblings and I put together my sisters baby shower. Granted I actually organized the entire thing and they just helped pay for it, but it was pretty awesome. I made practical gift baskets -- makeup, candy, at home spa supplies, cozy socks, etc. and the girls were actually fighting to win the games so they could win a basket.
I also helped organize her second baby shower after she lost her first child. And she was ecstatic that her friends would come together and share in her joy of the second child. I was happy I could give her another party worth remembering that wasn't followed up by heartache. So screw your rule book.

Does anyone notice that it's like the same 3 or 4 people who blow up these threads? And get all nasty and judgmental? They seem to follow each other around.
I hope they never find their way to this thread.
I didn't read that thread, but I often see a group going thread to thread with their snarky 'expert' replies. There is one dude who is a total tool.
Yep he is the worst. I am pretty sure I know who you mean. I am surprised they let him continue.
I got super excited when I read this since I actually think I know who y'all are talking about too! I know that's an odd thing to be excited about but I feel "in the loop"
I think I know who you're all talking about. I have to confess I get awfully judgmental about them in other threads!
I don't know why you all gotta hate on @tincanonastring like that.
(I am, of course, absolutely kidding. Hoping the alert gets him to come back - we miss you Mr. Onastring!)
Wow, I confess that I'm a retard. I've always been reading it like Tin Canon A String, not Tin Can On a String.
What an Idiot. I'm gonna go put my head in a hole now.
Can we share a hole? I read it the same way as you, and still do even though I know better.0 -

The other day I was running massively late so when I was able to finally exercise I said screw it and did it with my make up on. I admit it was because I was lazy and did not feel like washing my face twice, but I also have to admit that I ended up feeling like a bad a** while doing it. I am thinking of doing it again at a later date! However, feeling like a bad a** with makeup on does not excuse in anyway the behavior of those twits you describe. If it happens again with the same people or with different dastards just imagine every lift swinging into one of their body parts. You curl and bash their nose, you deadlift and bang their knees etc. It is a lot of fun and can relieve some aggression!

Umm, I pretty much always workout with my makeup on...and my hair done. I go in the evening after work. I'm not gonna wash my face and hair just to go to the gym and get sweaty.0

I recently moved to a new area where I dont know anyone living behind 15 years of my life in my hometown. I am trying to be healthy but whenever I feel sad I eat an entire pint of icecream or buy a lot of taco bell and eat it and then feel sad/bad about eating all that food. I am awlays consious of what i look like and because I am not proud of my body, I dont speak up on occassions when I need to.0

Do you have super duper make-up or something? All the women I see end up with mascara half-way down their face. But you are talking to the girl who only puts make-up on for special occasions lol. Even then I hate doing it.0 -
I also dislike baby showers. Where you all sit there and ohh and ahh over clothes that will just be puked on anyhow.
ps I have no kids, shocker right?
Next time try paying more attention to the politics behind it, you'll have more fun. The baby shower isn't about the baby, so much as it's a competition between grandmothers to see who can outdo the other. Bonus if you have a competitive aunt-to-be or two in the mix. Who spent the most, who got the best reaction to their gift, who didn't show/left early/got there late. If the grandma's don't like each other, or one or both doesn't like the other one's kid, you can play passive-aggressive comment bingo. If there are step-grandma's involved, it may be even more entertaining, especially if the step-grandma is the more responsible or involved than the bio grandma.
Lol!
I never had a baby shower. I guess to be fair, we adopted our twins, and we had no match or anything and pretty much got a call saying 'congratulations, you have twins'. So my husband's coworkers gave us $100 and my brother in law gave us a couple clothes. I had no friends to throw a shower anyway, but still, I did feel a bit cheated from the experience (don't get me wrong, I actually don't really like the idea of baby showers and the silly games but it's the principle of the thing).
And while we were waiting for a match and I was starting to buy things when I found a good deal, the only comment we got was 'are you not getting ahead of yourselves?'. I mean yeah, we waited 2 years, but it was nice to have the stuff ready (even though it turned out it would have been easier to wait as I had a useless single stroller and had to buy another crib anyway). But the whole 'welcoming the baby' thing was pretty much robbed from us.
Cliff notes - I might be jealous of women who get a baby shower.
This is how I feel about not having had a wedding. I didn't have a beautiful wedding dress, no flower girl, ring bearer, bridesmaids, no groom in a tux, and saddest of all...NO CAKE!!! My husband was going to try and put together a renewal ceremony for our 15th (June 30th of this year) but I just don't think there's going to time. And now that we're going to be grandparents, I can't really justify spending that money on those things.
Edited to add: I just really want to eat cake and wear a pretty dress.
That's essentially why I agreed to planning a wedding.
And it's mostly for the cake...0 -

I really wish I could do that, but every comment just deflates me like a pin to a balloon. I do start thinking, am I wasting my time, but I know deep down it helps in the long run.0 -

Do it. I always wanted a wedding dress. Always said the rest of the party could wear shorts and party on the beach (my plan was to rent a house and get married on the beach and just throw an amazing casual party) but I wanted an amazing dress. I used to spend hours pouring over wedding magazines.
I never got married so never got the dress. Do it. Your kids can be responsible for their child. Don't spend your life wishing you had done it.
@pofoster21 I like you!
