Yeah. They get a ton of people together, they bring gifts. The stupid couple provides a cake and at the end after you give them their gifts they cut the cake and reveled if it's blue or pink. The End.
It's beyond stupid.
Look at the differences between the 2nd picture of 141 and the last picture at 143. The last picture even though she is heavier she carries it a lot better by then and it's more toned.
Yeah the wife has bit the bullet on all the gender reveal parties. The ones our friends have had are all very strict about no presents though so there is at least that.

Well no shit. But how many people actually devote themselves to eating clean and working out regularly rather than just "I won't have that 5th donut, I'm on a diet, but the number doesn't matter" ? 99% of people have no clue about nutrition or eating properly. One of my relatives decided to eat almonds because he heard they were healthy. Sat down and ate like an entire jar 1lb+ of almonds in one sitting. Said it was fine, they're healthy.

Oh no, I've been invited to two of them so far this year, I've attended zero.
I guarantee those people will then have baby showers at a later date too.

We enjoy them. Then again we don't go to every random cunts party that we know. We have a small circle of friends so when a kid is on the way we actually care, attend and have a blast. Co workers get a nice shower gift but we generally don't bother going to outside events.
I don't think the issue is the gimmick for revealing the kids gender. Although that is kind of stupid. It seems more to be the expectation that if you show you should be bringing a gift. So gift for the reveal, gift for the shower, and possible gift if you are close friends after the baby is born. Just smacks of placing an uncomfortable choice on your friends. Feel like an as if you don't bring the gifts or feel some resentment for having to do multiple go gifts you may not have given in the first place. Luckily being male I only get invited to stuff like that if I'm with someone at the time.
I do like to get stuff for my close friends kids though, since they typically don't have the expectation of receiving something in the first place it feels more natural if that makes sense. Usually the fathers drink of choice and something for the kid.

Ironic. Last Xmas, my uncle said the exact same thing. 6'1 300+lbs. I made a comment about how a good rule of thumb for grocery shopping is filling the majority of the cart with things you find on the perimeter of the store, and gave an example. Grab 7 vegetables for dinners, grab some fruits for breakfast/lunches. Move to meat, get 7 proteins. Move to dairy, get some yogurt/eggs/cheese. I referred to all the carb displays scattered around the store as "landmines" (12 cookies for $3! Buy 2 get 1 free cinnamon rolls!) Specified caution in the middle aisles; that's McCheese land.
He stared at me blankly and said something like: ("Not everyone has a talent for shopping healthy like that.") As if this ivory tower knowledge is beyond the realm of a mortal. Guy is a brilliant software developer, can debug assembly via phone. I don't get it.

Surrounded by overweight friends and family I'm lectured on being too thin weekly. I don't ever lecture them on being fat. Last night doing a family b-day party it was late and eating cake didn't seem like a great choice for me and I try to avoid pleasure eating, I didn't say a single word about it but yet get asked by several people why I'm not eating cake. We have had some shitty weather this winter and it boggles their mind that I'm still active everyday no matter what the weather, and then they'll sit there eating and complaining about their weight. This is the one topic even more so than politics that people are just certifiably nuts. It really is an addiction and it's everywhere.
Oh and so tarrant doesn't get upset about OT, these people are married and/or divorced...and fat.

Yup. Thin shaming is real. Especially for women. My wifes friends all make awful comments about her weight and how unhealthy she is while they eat another donut and she has a chicken salad. It's ridiculous. She's 5'5", 121lbs.. So a good healthy weight.. But since she didn't balloon up after having kids like all her friends.. They now make her cell like shit. Maybe it's a Midwest thing

Maybe it's a, your wife needs new bitches in her life thing.
No it's a dumbass comment like that (he's family, but wtf ever), that lets the whole foods shit exist. They created whole foods just so idiots can go into the store and buy anything and everything and feel good, healthy choices for retards.

Yea if that happens to your women (honestly, i thought it was just an internet thing, can't believe idiots really do this irl) they need to find new bitches to hang with.
Ok i realize if they're work friends, you really can't control that, and you have to put on a fake face for that.
Ok i realize that if they're neighbors you kind of have to put up with that shit too, you can't choose your neighbors, and no one wants shit in their yard.
Everything else is fair game! drop them bitches.
