Can I confess something? There are few modern social rites of passage that annoy me more than gender reveals. Putting aside all the politics surrounding it, expecting parents already had the phenomenon of the baby shower before this nightmare of pink and blue gimmicks came along. As if that wasn't enough, they also have a tendency to cause a lot of unnecessary drama that could be avoided if you simply let the ultrasound technician tell you if you were having a boy or a girl.
This point has recently been proven by one mom-to-be on social media after she put a bakery on blast for accidentally revealing the gender of her baby to her before her party. She had asked that the cake contain blackberries for a boy and raspberries for a girl, and the baker left a voicemail revealing that they didn't currently have blackberries in stock.
Unfortunately for this mom, when she complained about this on the internet most people didn't share her outrage. When you're preparing for a new baby, there are bigger issues at hand.
