I thought gender reveal meant coming out as in gay! Transgender etc though couldn't work out why you'd want a car to do it

There's a whole world out there that I gladly know nothing about

I’m sure everyone on Boards is sick of me posting about this at this stage but I was invited to a name reveal party a few months back.
The mum-to-be basically threw a party to announce the name of her impending daughter, via icing on a 3 tier cake. :pac:

Why? And do you have to bring gifts or stuff? The young have an unquestionable thirst for attention. It’s not a healthy addiction

Friend of mine had a baby recently. "The Super Mummies" (yes, that's what they call themselves!) are all 'extended breastfeeders' and if you thought a baby shower or gender reveal was bad, they have a 'mother rising'. They all have their little hippy bracelets (like the little kids band we wore in primary school 20+ years ago) and when one of "The Super Mummies" is in labour, the rest of them must concentrate on their bracelet and 'breathe through the pain with her'.


Give me strength.

What was the name out of interest? Was it worth a function in itself or did they go to all that trouble to call her McKynleigh.

There aren't enough rolls eyes in the world :rolleyes:

Itwasntme had a good question - did you have to bring a gift?

SusieBlue

Gifts were expected, yes.
But I had already bought a gift for the gender reveal (which she had on Christmas Eve :rolleyes:) and the baby shower, I knew she’d be expecting another gift after the birth as well and I frankly couldn’t afford to buy another one.
So instead I baked some homemade scones which she turned her nose up at :pac:

She was baffled & upset at the lack of support excitement but we’d all had enough of her various reveals and parties at this stage. She thinks she’s a bloody Kardashian.

As well as that after the gender reveal she asked guests who had gifted her items in white/neutral tones (because they didn’t know the gender) for receipts so she could swap it for pink stuff. She was just so ungrateful.

I was hoping for something outlandish and unusual such as Moon Unit or Apple, seeing as a party was being thrown for the occasion, but no, the child’s name is Caoimhe.
It was a big anti climax, everyone just told her it was a nice name and promptly left, no one even stayed for the food & party :pac:

Ah stop SusieBlue... a flipping 3rd gift! That’s ridiculous, and then she was ungrateful for lovely scones and neutral gifts... I’ll never understand how a family member does not kick those foolish types into touch..

Will you keep us updated on this, Sus?
If you think it won't blow their identity obviously.

You have to wonder what leads to someone becoming that self important.

Dweezil or Diva should also inspire hope.

Does she make an income from Instagram by chance. This scream of instagram notions.

I could write a book on her, she's the most spoilt self absorbed person I've ever met & she's surrounded by enablers.

There is a christening gown that has been in my mams family for over 70 years, it was handmade by my Great Grandmother for my Grandmother.
Its unisex and has been worn by every baby born into the family since, both male and female.
Its obviously quite old fashioned & plain by modern standards but its absolutely beautiful and obviously very sentimenal to us all.
My mam looks after it and gives it out as necessary when each new baby is born into the fmaily.

My dopey cousin came looking for it when she was only 5 months along and wanted it then. Her excuse was that she wanted to get it dry cleaned even though my mam handwashes it herself.
It was reluctantly handed over and I had a very bad feeling about it.

Not long after, it transpired she had gotten the gown altered.
She got some giant bows, puff sleeves, diamontés and patches of lace stitched on to it, to make it more "girly".
Its no longer unisex and its completely ruined, it looks so tacky. 70 years of tradition and preservation undone in one afternoon.

We were all devastated and made it known to her, she turned it around and said the stress of it was effecting her health and her pregnancy & we would be to blame if anything happened her.
She & her mother then ignored everyone until she announced she was having the name reveal party.

She says she has no regrets, that the gown is now better for all the little girls and whoever next has a boy can just buy their own outfit. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

That's absolutely awful.

Christening gowns are usually handed down. I think its meant to be bad luck to buy a new one.

A lovely tradition ruined.

@SusieBlue why do you stay in touch with the narcissist ?
family reasons ?

Hopefully not. That woman sounds like a total nutjob.

Why did people to to the "party" in the first place? What could possibly be achieved by attending?

More to do with the unwanted fallout of not attending I'd imagine, R.
